I have to give credit to my adventurous wife for accompanying me on this journey. So far three times we have had to endure bugs. All kinds of creatures: ants, caterpillars, salamanders – we can handle, but infestations of roaches, was not only surprising but unwelcome. I must have killed a dozen lives that night! …

Dirty, smelly, dark
are just some of the adjectives I would use to describe district 5 of Vietnam. 24 hours ago, I would have written off this place. But God is directing our steps. Without knowing the area, we found ourselves worshipping with folks that just happened to be living 5 minutes from our nephew’s place in Vietnam. …
Early to bed, early to rise…
I believe Benjamin Franklin coined the phrase, but it’s roots are in the word of God. Proverbs 31:15 tells us that a capable wife gets up before daylight to prepare food for her family and to tell her servant women what to do. On our trip, our kids tell us they miss mom’s cooking. She …
Who will go?
We spent a day traveling to YWAM Bangkok and visiting with them. Once again, humbled to know that there are those who have answered the call to reach the 99%, who have yet to hear the gospel even once. We take the gospel so much for granted!
Two different paths
There’s a story in Scripture when Balaam and his donkey set forth on a journey, but God is actually blocking his path. We could have forced our original plans to be in Shanghai by taking a day out of the schedule, going to the Chinese embassy in LA and obtaining a visa, all the while …
God so loved the world
John 3:16, we know it so well! It’s not that God loves cities, it is God loves His creation, from the plants, to animals, to His favorite – people. God is showing us this world that He so loved, that He gave His only begotten Son, so that whosoever believes in Him, shall not perish …
Understanding our Authority
Our authority comes from God, not from human beings, not from our wealth, not from our backgrounds, our past, or our mistakes, but simply because God calls us as his apostles out to the world He so loves. Today we participated in an evangelism seminar and those who had ailments came forward and those who …
Stark contrasts
Tony Stark? No, though I can see glimpses of his opulence here. Thailand is an explosion for the eyes! I’ve been to many places, but never have I seen such incredible beauty in so many different ways! From the colors, to the attention to detail, to the smiles, hard work, and servanthood, we are blessed …
You’ve been warned!
Imagine coming into the gates of heaven, you’re in line, you’re excited, the trip you’ve been planning is finally coming into fruition. You get to the ticket counter, you hand over your documents, you’re smiling, you’re told your baggage can go on for free. No charge. But wait … “do you have a visa?” “A …
And the adventure begins!
So the first week was time to decompress and spend time with Pearl & David in VA and then Jackie in CA. I figured I’d start blogging after that. Well it’s now 3:23 am in the morning in Thailand. Wait! Weren’t you supposed to be in China at this time? As I said, the adventure …
