It has been too long and I am sorry for that. Here is a quick update of time time in India, Nepal, and now Thailand.
I cannot believe it is already month three of my time here in Asia. Time has flown by, but every minute of it has been incredible. I’ve been to India, Nepal, and now Thailand. Each time I pick up and go, I continue to settle in as if it has been my home my whole life. It is such a great feeling to know I am in the center of God’s will for my life. Each country thus far has been so full of life and joy.
In India we came across a chicken shop owner who had such a heart for evangelism. Everywhere he went he wanted to exalt the name of Jesus. He took us into homes and business to pray for the sick and lost. Whether they were hindu or christian they heard the name of Jesus and was touched by Him before we left. He then told us that he and his family had a small orphanage in their home and took us there, where we were able to meet the children and some of his family. His name was Robert and I look forward to meeting him again one day.
Nepal was full of life and adventure. The ministry we were partnered with was great. They did a little bit of everything and I was so blessed by my time spent with them. Whether it was time spent in the slums, painting homes, making candles, playing soccer with the street kids, or trekking in the Himalayan Foothills, it was full of Jesus. It is amazing how we go to bless them, but we leave feeling more blessed from our time spent with them. They love Jesus so much.
Now I am here in Thailand where the religion is Buddhism and they are very anti-evangelism. When we first arrived they basically told us no evangelism, and that we had to be careful and not tell people what we were doing here. Well the second night we were here the head chief so to speak and a few other higher ups from the government came to our host home to have dinner. That night was amazing and was a turning point for the ministry here. The head chief who once hated christianity was so curious to hear more about it. My team and I sat in silence as the Thai’s had conversations with them about Jesus and christianity and what the ministries goal is here. The man left our home with a new view on Americans and Christianity. The next night at the lantern festival the Head Chief invited my team and our host to sit with him. We were them called out and welcomed to the city. To say the least the whole city now knows who we are and what we are here for and we have the head chiefs blessings in that. So cool!
Thank you all for your prayers and financial support. My next fundraising deadline is December 1 and I have to have $11,000 in my account by then. As of now I am at $9,767. If you would prayerfully consider to continue to sow into my mission it would be greatly appreciated! Also next month I will be in Laos which is a closed country (the gospel is illegal). To protect ourselves and our ministry we must put a password on our blogs. My password to my blog is “Mosaic” please subscribe to it and continue to follow me on my journey.
I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death. For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. Philippians 1:20-21
Jesus I come to you today and I thank you for the person reading this. I pray that they will say “yes” to you, even where they are in this very moment. That your name will be glorified in their lives daily. You are worthy of all our praise and affection.
