Storying Facilitator in Central Asia
Dear Future Goers
Dear all future goers, To those who are crazy enough to go on this adventure…to those who are ready to have their world rocked by God… to those who want to serve the Lord whole–heartedly, here are a few thoughts for you, Before you go, be ready to have God show you some things about yourself while you’re overseas. He might show you the good, the bad, or the ugly. But don’t just see it, accept it and then ask God how to have a heart more like His.

Running the Race
It all started a month after we were living together. My teammate Lindsey and I found out that we shared a love for running. We started running around a half dirt, half paved track. Of course we had to roll under a gate to get in, and of course we had to get use to people staring at us. We ran around the game of cricket and past the fifty kids practicing for a Republic Day performance in the middle of the field. We talked about the idea of running a half-marathon together if we found one in South Asia. We continued to run a bit here and there, but it was a year later when we decided to... Read more
