As we sat together by the stream behind our property in Nicaragua for one of the last times as a team, I said "Our lives are about to be turned upside down."
So. True.
With team changes, leaving Central America and flying to the other side of the world, our lives have been turned on their heads.
Team Changes. Every team on our squad was changed up. It's like we are starting over.
Goodbye Team Ruah Elohim. You are truly, truly dear to my heart.
Here is my new team: Pat Stiller, Travis Lee, Caitlin Roberson, Christiana Gunn & Liz Purull
Asia. After a few hours in the United States, it almost seems like we are starting the race over as well, this time leaving the continent and preparing for some intense months of ministry. And so far I am in love with Asia! The culture, people and environment are so different from anything I've ever experienced and I think it is absolutely beautiful and amazing.
Our team is going to be doing bar ministry in the city of Chiang Mai this month and I feel really blessed because it is the one minsitry that I knew I wanted to do this year. Three teams are doing bar and possibly slum ministry, one team is working in a local Christian coffee shop and two teams are living and working with villagers in their homes. I have a general idea of what this ministry will look like, but I will fill you in when I have more details. Mostly I know that it is going to be very intense, overwhelming and possibly dangerous, so please pray for the three teams that will be doing this minsitry this month.
As I write this, I am at a YWAM base in Bangkok in which we are staying for two days for cultural briefing before we take a 20 bus trip to Chiang Mai. We got here last night after 67 hours of traveling from our hostel in Managua to this base in Bangkok. God very graciously got us here incredibly saftely and smoothly.
I want to thank all my supporters again for all that you have done for me. It continues to be amazing and very humbling. I met my April 1st deadline with no problem and only have $3675 left before my next deadline in three months! I am excited for all of you as you join me on the next phase of this adventure. God bless.
