“I am the Lord Your God, I go before you now. I stand beside you, and I’m all around you. Though you’re feeling far away, I’m closer than your breath. And I am with you, more than you know.” -Bethel Something that I have struggled with is knowing that no matter what, my Jesus is always so close to me. I struggled with this until I heard wonderful insight through some history.

India was something I’ve never experienced before. Probably because I’ve never been to India before June and probably because I had no idea what to expect. But none the less, India was something else. India was hard. India was dark. India was hurting. India was full of things you expect as a missionary but are never really prepared for.

Hello friends, family, and other random people reading our blog!   We have arrived in Thailand and reached our ministry location.

During our first week here in India, we spent our days going to this home for women who had been rescued from sex trafficking (there were also these two boys of one of the women). The first time we stepped foot into the home it was evident that there was no life or joy radiating amidst those walls. The 8 of us missionaries are not and will not be able to ever express the love that comes from knowing and trusting in the name of Jesus Christ. However, we as christians have that joy inside of us, and by loving these women, we were able let our love mirror the love of our Abba, daddy. At the...
