The Presentation of
Possibility
Back before leaving Cambodia we were given a list of about
30 possible ministry contacts to spend our next month working with. These contacts were from Vietnam, Cambodia,
and Thailand, and we were asked to pray about which country and which ministry
God would have us work with next after a debrief in Thailand.
An ATL That is a
Little Less “Thug”
We began to ask the Lord (ATL as we call it around here)
where He would have us spend our next month. After a few days of prayer and looking over all the contact descriptions,
I felt a strong desire to return back to Thailand. Now, I would just ask God to do the same for
the rest of my team mates.
“Choosing” Our Place
As a team, we prayed and discussed. Thailand it would be; God had put the same
country on at least two other of my teammate’s hearts. We also made a decision about which ministry
we would work with, and which one we would keep as a 
backup if that one didn’t
work out. Our first one didn’t work
out. Apparently, a team had beaten us to
it. Our backup didn’t work out either,
at first…
Movies I Would Rather
Not Have Seen
Bangkok. I think we spent around 14hrs.
in a bus. The bus came complete with a
dvd player and several screens, not to my advantage. The features for the ride included: “Lara
Croft: Tomb Raider,” “Year One,” “Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs,” and “Lara
Croft: Tomb Raider II.” I would have
much preferred silence, conversation, reading, listening to my ipod, or really
just anything. However, I did enjoy “Rambo First Blood: Part II” as we pulled in
to Bangkok. I kind of like to think of myself as a kind of “Rambo” type, minus the rocket launcher, not the muscles.
