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. I knew it would help the kids in the future with getting a job and things like that, but that was all i saw. As we prepared for the week to come, our...

Daughter of the King

Natz, You are absolutely stunning. From your eyes appear black at a glance, but really are a deep,dark, captivating blue; you bless anyone who takes the time to peer into them. The large gap between your two front teeth is adorable. It is too rare that you smile, but when you do, it lights up the room. It is genuine, joyful, and innocent. You spend a lot of time alone, timid and reserved, hesitant to speak, hesitant to play. You are so aware of your surroundings, the children around you, you really see them. Your eyes see the truth, and you are wise...

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...

For the past two days we’ve had the chance to go into the juvenile correctional facility here in Ratchaburi and teach English to girls ranging from ages of 13 to 23 years old. A lot of the girls are there because of drugs, petty theft, or they took the blame for their brother/ex boyfriend/etc.’s crime. By coming to and completing the English seminar we hosted, their sentence will get reduced by a month. We had about 15 girls come, which was perfect for the amount of people we have on our team. (orange shirts: already received their sentence // pink shirts: waiting to go to...

The Heart of a Child

Back on one of our first days in Cambodia, the team and most of the kids were walking along a path next to the vast rice fields. We were on our way back from our walk, and I was holding hands with one of the kids I had particularly bonded with, Samnung. He started singing a song of praise to God, Hallelujah to the Lamb. We passed by a group of older people standing around a bike, and I started to feel timid. Christianity isn’t persecuted like it once was in Cambodia, but it isn’t exactly popular either. I looked at Samnung as we were passing by, and I was astounded. He was...
