Friends and Supporters,

Hey All,
Just want to throw a quick prayer request out: Tomorrow marks 11 months in Bangkok, which means I'm pretty much stepping into my second-year of learning and service in a cross-cultural context.

Thank you for your time and prayers,
Alejandro

It’s vision is to embody the message of Jesus and experience good news together with neighbors as they live and work together. In short, it is ministry modeled after the life of Jesus, who “became flesh and dwelt among us.” If I were to speak highly (and I do) of any strategy for service it would be…
