There are moments on the world race when I feel like i‘m the ministry host. Why? Because we are far far more blessed by our ministry host. We come to serve & give them our all, but sometimes, you are humbled by their generosity and their constant love.
This month we were spoiled rotten.
We had the best food. 80% complementary.
We had our own house…WITH AIR CONDITIONING.
We had someone drive us to all our ministry sites.
We were gifted four shirts.
We were constantly loved on & poured into.
Maybe that’s what we get for being their first WORLD RACE TEAM. (haha jk)
But thank God for such a beautiful month.
This is generally how last month looked like. Lots of english teaching.
BUT it was so much fun. We had a lot of time with one another as well, so we were able to pour into each other, have great conversations (some that ended with us agreeing to disagree), but overall a time where we were able to call one another higher, pray for one another, and have fun together. It was so beautiful to see my teammates grow in Love with God & with each other. When you visibly see the fruits of the spirit in the people you love, it’s one of the most astounding things. To see change happen & for the better so that we can work together better to further His kingdom makes me SO happy. It gives me SO much hope for broken families & broken relationships. & THATS EXACTLY IT. When we see & experience the power of Jesus first hand, we can extend that to other people. Other people can see that we are set apart, that this world is not hopeless, but HOPEFUL… that this world isn’t hateful, but Loving… BECAUSE OF JESUS CHRIST.
We are still not perfect. We have our days of frustrations and confusions, but there is grace… & when grace is extended, that is another testament of God.
God is good y’all. so so good.
I just wanted to share some of the amazing things that God has done last month.
1. Joshua led a young girl to Christ last month! We followed up with her for 3 weeks & prayed that she would find a church.
2. Our squad leader Teresa also led a lady in a village to Christ! We gave her a bible and prayed with her weekly! (She constantly told us to come back and harvest rice with her)
3. We as a team stepped out in boldness & desiring to be more intentional handed out tracks to many people. We also evangelized and shared our story to over 200 children.
4. We got to share our testimony in a non-christian based university! (They listened so intently) Please pray that God will bring their curiosity to action!
5. Grant sat down with a monk (head monk) weekly and discussed their respective religions! It was a great way to share his testimony.
Praise God for all that He has done.
Please continue to pray for Udon Thani & the seeds that were planted. I believe that God can do big things in this city.
Pray also that my teammates and I will continue to step out in boldness and share the gospel with the people of Cambodia.
