Leaving

A fantastic rotating of the earth to all of you earthlings! (I was feeling spacey today) I left Cambodia with a full heart and list of things the team accomplished. We were able, through God’s provision, to get bikes for the kids going into 10th grade this November (it’s at a different school farther away then the rest of the kids), finish the space mural, and dig up an old playground set that needed to be gone (in involved a LOT of smashing concrete with a sledge hammer). On our last night, we held a goodbye bonfire with all the kids. The...

Who am I?

What does it means to be a Christian has been popping into my head a lot. I ask myself this question a lot during this adventure. Am I really being a Christian? Who am I? Who am I supposed to be? All these questions going around my head without no answers. I started praying and asking God what I am doing wrong. He wasn’t answering my questions. He was just giving me more questions. NOT COOL JESUS! I expected Him to give me the answers when I wanted it. I kept telling Him dude we have to have a serious conversation on our partnership this is not working out. God send my dad to have a...

I Feel Full

I have lived a million lifetimes since I left Winchester, KY a little over a month ago. Our ministry at New Hope Orphange in Kampong Cham, Cambodia has come to a bittersweet end; our goodbye embraces long and our tears fighting to break through. I have been puting off writing this because it’s almost impossible to express the depth of the Holy Spirit that has been surging through me. As Chris Tomlin once told us, Jesus is “indescribable.” I could write novels of the experiences I have had, the people I have met, and the way I have seen God move....

A Sum of Month One — Kathmandu, Nepal

*2018 Fall - Nepal*

One. Month one in Nepal looked a lot like this: Walking. And a lot of it. Learning the real meaning of “look both ways before crossing the street” because the vehicles find any suggested path to get to their destination (even the cows on the streets are on a mission). Learning that clean water, as well as “unlimited” water is a privilege. Two water tanks for 15 humans to clean, cook, and shower with, goes way quicker than you think. Spending the mornings loving our slum kids who live under tarps, sleep on the ground, and run up to us in the same clothes they were...
