The last four months have been: challenging, growing, heart-breaking, inspiring, hard, exhausting, and good. God has taught me so much about myself and about what He is doing around the world. He has grown me in boldness and confidence. He has brought freedom to my life and is bringing freedom to Cambodia, Thailand, India, and Atlanta. Jesus came to set the captives free, and as His child I was able and will continue to be His hands and feet in that area at home and abroad. He has taught me that He is in the business of redeeming and restoring, not just myself but whole cities like Pattaya and Atlanta. He is the true King who reigns! He brings healing not just to me, but to the beautiful Thai women in English class. Following Him requires sacrifice-whether it’s giving up time away from friends and family to serve Him; or modern conveniences, but it is worth it because He is worth it. Why? Because He gave Himself, the ultimate sacrifice for the atonement of our sins. Why would I not want to sacrifice my all for Him?!? The Lord rained down His favor and me and our team. We were walking in the “F.O.G” all four months as one teammate put it (Favor of God). We were blessed with incredible ministries and surrounded by contacts that poured into us. I have learned to surrender my desires and dreams to Him, it’s not easy, but it’s so worth it! He has taught me how to listen to His voice and how good it is to obey Him! He has shown me what it is like to overcome the darkness and to be an instrument of His glorious, marvelous Light. He has shown me and taught me about Hope, Love, Peace, Grace, Mercy, Justice, Faith, and has given me a Fire that the enemy of darkness will never extinguish!
