Hellooo  everyone!! So sorry for such a delayed update! The past few weeks have been such a whirlwind. Here’s a little update on what the Lord has been teaching me and what my team and I have been up to! The past few weeks we have been going into elementary and middle schools teaching English and sharing Jesus’ love, encouraging the 1% of believers at the local churches, and going into the Juvenile Detention Center to minister to the girls there. While trying to figure out what to write about, I kept thinking I should focus on the impact we have made on others. However, the...

Everywhere

Jesus is everywhere. He doesn’t just meet in the big sanctuaries with bright lights and hundreds/thousands of people. He meets in the small room of a house-turned-church with only 15 members.   “For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.” – Matthew 18:20   Today, our last ministry day here, was a reminder of that. We went to Motana Church this morning to preach a message and walked into a small, but beautiful yellow room with a few pews and a pulpit. The yellow walls instantly made me smile and brought feelings of warmth &...

The Bigger Picture

Teaching English has been one of the main ways to do ministry here in Ratchaburi. We go into juvenile detention centers hosting English seminars and go to schools & teach classes to  the kids all week long. If I’m being honest, when i heard that this is what we would be doing for a week, i wasn’t that excited. If I’m being really honest, i didn’t see the full meaning and impact it could have.

Short update from Swaziland

  This is the first blog update I’ve made since being here in Swaziland due to little access to wifi. No Wi-Fi is challenging but beneficial in growing to have a closer relationship with the Lord and focusing on him and him alone. Since getting to Swazi 3 weeks ago I’ve gotten to experience a culture that is so rich in love and character, both on and off the field. The team of women I get to do this with have blessed me incredibly and continue to do so everyday. They are constantly encouraging and pulling the best out of me, I love having community with Jesus as the...
