This past month in Malaysia has been tough. I was not excited about many of our ministries for the month being canceled.  Nonetheless, God showed up huge in the few we were able to participate in.  Also God allowed us to meet some awesome people and people who were really solid in the faith.  It gave me a chance to be around people who were persecuted for their faith and still trusted God with every ounce of their being!  This month consisted of Sunday school teaching, small groups, leading a few weekend services, a little construction work, visiting the sick, encouraging people who have lost love ones, and lots of praying!  I surely grew closer to God through the prayer ministry.  God has done many things in Malaysia and I know he will continue to do so.
 
   Now I’m currently located in Thailand!!!!  This surely is a lovely place! This month the men and woman will be separated!  Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  We will be participating in manistry!  This month is a time to where the fourteen of us  men will be able to serve together and really dig deep into what it means to be man of God!  We want to be able to be unified, and push the women in their growth with Christ!  After being surrounded by women on the team all the time, this month was really needed for all of us!!!!!!!!!!
 
   Finally, I thank God for all that he is teaching me and how he has allowed me to be apart something special like this journey!!  I thank all of you supporters for your prayers and how you have given with a cheerful heart!  I pray that you will continue to support me and continue to keep me in your prayers.  I know America has just gotten tax returns back!!!
