2018 Summer – Thailand – Page 7

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...

“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!

Identity Crisis

I had been praying for my team to be loving, growing, honest, kind, uplifting, real, and more than anything else: unified.
