Ministry in Cambodia!

We are excited to announce our Thailand/Cambodia team has transitioned to Cambodia for their final month of ministry!  This month, the team is working with New Hope Orphanage and will split their time across two different ministry sites. The first ministry site is in a small village and the second is in the big city of Siem Reap!  The team is loving their time at the first orphanage thus far! They will be spending the next couple weeks teaching, painting the orphanage, and sharing the love of Christ with the kids there! We are excited to see how God continues to move in and...

So Much to Do, So Little Time

I’ve been wanting to write a blog for a while now, I’ve been waiting for only one thing. An epiphany. I’ve been waiting for this deep sense of discovery that I could write about and people would read it and walk away with the sense that I’ve grown in remarkable ways and that I’m exactly where I’m suppose to be. Well, I don’t have anything fancy to write about. And that’s okay. I’ve been so desperate for the instant gratification of seeing the results of my work here in Thailand. It exhausts me when I think about the idea that I may never...

Doubt

“Doubt is not always a sign that a man is wrong; it may just be a sign that he is thinking.” ~Oswald Chambers     I have doubted from the first day in Korat if this three months were what God really wanted for me.     When our ministry host said that we would focus on teaching children’s English camps, all the air left the already stifling room. What happened to women’s ministry? What happened to ministry here in general, when we have an erratic schedule with people in charge miscommunicating? God’s obvious provision led me to this...

Thief of Joy

We arrived at the shelter for abused women. The girls were finally in front of us: their hands within reach, their eyes hesitantly waiting to be met. Suddenly, it wasn’t a feeling of discontentment that threatened me, because I was finally where I expected we would be…it wasn’t that I felt inadequate or confused about God’s will, because this is what I had pictured doing all along.The last thing that was keeping me from victory in this instance was the life-stealing little habit of comparison. I knew the “right” things that I could say and do, but I also...
