Thailand/Cambodia

Hey y’all we made it to Kampong Cham New Hope for Orphans Orhphanage late last night!! We are overhwhelemed by the hospitality and welcome we received from our host family and the Villagers. We expected to serve them and they are going out of their way to take thoughtful care of us!!  Today we got to tour the orphanage and the church, as well as a little bit of the village and the public school. Our favorite welcomer was Chaiya who handed out kisses like the kids hand out flowers. Her home is decorated with pictures of past visitors and was over ecstatic to take one with us with...

“you need this one”

today Jesus spoke to me: “You need this one.” After over 40 hours of travel, our team is in our longed-for country of Thailand! The past two days have mostly consisted of recovering from jet-lag, settling into our host home, and becoming Thai at heart through culture orientations. We’re in a city called Ratchaburi, which is about 2 hours from Bangkok. We’ve explored to the local 7eleven gas station and the mall supermarket for some groceries, learning some english lessons to teach the Thai children, and prepping for ministry. but rewinding a few days before this,...

Imagine staring into the face of Jesus

I went into this trip with no expectactions of what we as a team will do but with a great yet simple expectation that God will do so much for us and the people of Thailand. God’s presence and voice is something that has been more uncomfortable and unknown to me. But from the start of training camp I have had a wonderful vision of God physically walking alongside each and every one of the teams. Reacently, when we pray I visualize him looking at us.  One day during training camp we learned about different styles people use to connect with God’s presence. On the info sheet...

The Peace of God

I’ve had this strange peace about this mission trip that I couldn’t fully understand. I haven’t been overly stressed about packing, diseases, bugs, or even the fact that I still don’t know down specific details about what we will be doing or how we will be living. I wasn’t even entirely sure about what country we were starting in until I got to Atlanta for training. (For those of you that know me you know how crazy this is for me!) At training camp we did exercises to allow the Holy Spirit to speak through us to each other and to ourselves. During this time...
