To my team, my girls, dear sisters in the Lord and daughters of the King, It has been an absolute honor to walk alongside each one of you as you begin the journey toward a life of abundant joy and freedom in the Lord. I truly never anticipated being as blessed by you all as I have been this summer. I responded in obedience to the Lords call to come and lead you all this summer, expecting to lead you all into deeper intimacy and knowledge of the Lord from what I’ve already walked through; however, you all ended up being instruments in the Lords hands used to teach me depths of knowledge...

The past few days have been hectic, adventurous, unexpected, and a HUGE gift straight from Jesus. It all started with our team leaving training camp in Georgia at 4 am to us now waiting to board our plane to Chiang Mai, Thailand in South Korea. Last night we ended up missing our connecting flight from South Korea to Thailand because of a flight delay in Detroit, Michigan. But Jesus was so good to us because the airline put us in a hotel with beds that felt like you were floating on clouds and meal vouchers to eat all the delicious Korean food you could possibly imagine. Then we were able to...

So, I’m in Thailand.  I really want to tell everyone what's happening, but I don't know where to start.  Here's my try: It's different than I expected it would be. Instead of getting thrown into some big grand adventure my team and I have been thrown into a day-to-day life. We wake up. We eat cereal. We have a time to study the bible with the Thai women that live here. We teach English to some lovely Korean missionaries. The Thai women help us cook lunch. We help make dolls to raise money for the ministry.  We get to teach the women English and they help...

When venturing to new places you often find things you aren’t accustomed to seeing. The difference may be seen in the street food where everything from fruit to pig liver is served on a stick. It may be seen in the skin tainted, tangled limbs of the beggar on the sidewalk. It may been seen in the woman flaunting herself on the street corner. Fresh experiences, sights, and smells are sometimes in other countries and sometimes right outside your front door. One privilege that my team and I have had while being in Thailand this far has been meeting a small few of the 10% of students who have...

Our Father all of heaven roars Your name? Sing louder let this place erupt with praise ?Can you hear it the sound of heaven touching earth? The sound of heaven touching earth   ??Spirit break out ?Break our walls down ?Spirit break out ?Heaven come down http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5Sk-ktjSLM&feature=kp I dare you to listen to this song and tell me it isn’t powerful. I firmly believe that heaven touches Earth all around us everyday, and the more we look for it, the more we see it. There have been several times in my life where I know I have seen the heavens touch the earth-...

This blog is a little late, but better late then never.- Tonight I find myself on this crazy adventure, full of flexibility, hard but rewarding lessons, community, and stretching, all located in Chiang Mai, Thailand working with a ministry called Lighthouse in Action, this ministry reaches women in the sex industry here, along with prevention in the slums and villages ALL, along with a variety of other ministries, with the love of Jesus. So far, considering we have only spent one day here we have only experienced a day of orientation and night market life. I wish I had some crazy amazing...
