You Don't Know My Dream

By on Track: Media - Communications Region: Asia - East

Follow your dream. Chase your dreams. Believe in your dreams. These are all phrases that just don't carry quite the punch that they use to for me. I might call myself a "dreamer", I've had my fair share of different dreams and ambitions that my sister would say I had the guts to actually go for . Why not try ya know?  Experiencing culture outside Texas and America has always been a part of my "dream". There's something grand about standing on a mountainside and looking into a valley of pure nature that will resonate in the human heart. On my recent travels in Asia, two friends and I went… Read more >>

First Orphanage Visit

By on Track: Media - Communications Region: Asia - East

              Visiting the orphanage opened my eyes to the many needs the orphanage has and also to the challenges and barriers those willing to help may face in trying to provide for some of those needs. There were many physical needs that were obvious at the institution. Items like food, diapers, clothes, bedding, high chairs, and the things required to clean each of these items like dish and laundry detergent. Upon arriving I was informed by the medical professionals that have been in the orphanage many times, that on that day the… Read more >>

Prayer Requests

I've already had the opportunity to meet international students on campus that are involved in intl. student ministry, I would love to become involved and see that flourish. A pretty common way to meet English speaking students is at English corner, an event for students to come and converse with English speakers for practice.

Arriving and Much More

By on Track: Media - Communications Region: Asia - East

So much has already happened in my 5 days here in C, it's hard to know where to begin. Before I left my greatest source of anxiety was the traveling, flying has always caused me a lot of pain due to pressure change when the plane is landing and this journey required 4 flights. That and not being sure if my bags would make it here were probably the biggest concerns I've had through this entire process. I'm ecstatic to say that all my bags made it and I had NO pain flying...like ZERO, NADA, ZILCH, LING. Thank you everyone praying for my safe and pain free travel! Once I got here I pretty much… Read more >>

Waiting Well

By on Track: Media - Communications Region: Asia - East

The last couple months have felt like 10 years to me. Over the last 8 weeks my preparation for getting to the mision field seemed to be a time full of waiting rather than doing. I imagined that I would already be in the city where I will be working by now, but due to certain support and visa requirements I've simply had to wait for documents and other things to come together. What did I do during this waiting period? I still met with friends, family, supporters and others as if I would be leaving any time soon. Finally, I am leaving soon and it's time to pack my bags. Having a date is just… Read more >>
