Near, Far, Wherever You Are

First off, Happy Birthday to mamma Choi back at home. I miss you and I'm sorry I won't be home to celebrate with you. I hope that you're feeling better and I hope you have a great day! Take care and may God bless you. Love you.

Second, yesterday I must say was one of the funniest bike rides I've had. I had the opportunity to bike the one and only John Chow back to our resort. We almost crashed a couple times cause we couldn't stop laughing but like the Titanic, it was a pretty magical ride (before it went down). All thanks to God for keeping us safe.

But all jokes and funny things aside, there is much to be thankful for on this trip. This is my fifth year and I can definitely see God moving here in Thailand. Today Clement and I had an opportunity to eat with some of the students after teaching class and when we sat down, one of the students asked us to pray for their meal. Both of us were a little bit surprised at first but Clement went ahead and prayed for their meal. It's amazing to see that the students know that we are Christians and because of that, opportunities are opened up to share about why we our here as well as share our own testimonies of how God has moved in our lives.

I am also thankful for this team. From the moment we got to Thailand, I was very encouraged to see the courage and boldness of the new team members going out to meet the new students despite not speaking the language. And even though our schedules aren't always set in stone for each day, everyone has been very flexible and has been able to adjust to what has come our way.

Lastly, you can pray for our team in a few ways:

1. We only have a couple days left so pray that we take every opportunity we have to share God's love with the students. May we have sense of urgency and continue to go out with boldness.

2. Pray for Thursday as we will be holding an assembly for some of the Christians at the school as all the other students go out to the Buddhist temple. May we use this time to encourage the students to be bold about their faith so that they can be lights upon this campus even after we leave.

3. Lastly, pray that our team doesn't forget all that God has taught us and shown us on this trip. It's very easy sometimes to forget once we get back home because we can get caught up in our busy lives whether it be school or work. Pray that we may always have a missions mindset because the missions field isn't just here in Thailand. Whether we are near at home or far away, wherever we are the harvest is plenty but the workers are few.

In Him,
