Prayer Walking in L.A.

But really, I went to L.A. The town where CICRIN is located is called Los Angeles and, funnily enough, down the road is Sacramento. My Tuesday morning assignment was prayer walking with four of my team through Los Angeles. Before we left, we stood together and I prayed for God to guide our steps, thoughts, and words. After, we walked out onto the main road past houses, people riding bikes, bus stops, and convenience stores. About ten twenty minutes in, one of teammates suggested we turn down a down a small dirt road (not that uncommon, most of the roads are dirt). It was beautiful and...

Life Update

I can hardly believe that I have been living in Oceanview, Capetown for a month now. It’s crazy how fast time is flying by and how I will be home before I even realize it. The ministry that we do here is never really the same day to day so I’m getting to do a variety of things. Because of this I’m learning how to be more flexible and how to just go with whatever is asked of me. Before I came on this trip I thought of myself as a very flexible person, but I’m realizing that I’m not as good at that as I thought. I’m learning that it’s hard to not know...

Round II – Back In Mae Sot

Our team has kept talking about God having returned us to Mae Sot so we can go through doors previously closed to us. Normally, at least in my experience, words such as those don’t necessarily come true in the moment. They are merely a balm on a wound until much later when they do come to fruition. It’s almost never an immediate truth… unless you are our team right now, in which case it is. It’s exactly as we have been saying: we saw and sometimes knocked on so many doors that we never got to go through, and now we are reopening those doors and encountering new ones...

A Lady with a Rake

This past weekend my team and I went to Phi Phi Island to spend our day off and to celebrate Alexis’s birthday. We rode a ferry to get to the island and let me just say it is absolutely gorgeous. Pictures don’t even do it justice and words can’t even describe it. We stayed one night in a hostel right on the beach. I forgot what it felt like to be in air conditioning and the showers had hot water…my heart was so overwhelmed (thank you, Lord). We basically spent most of our time on the beach considering we were only staying there one day. Besides the fact that this...
