My letter to future Goers

By on Track: University Outreach Region: Asia - East

Hello future Goers! After returning home from two years in East Asia, I've been asked to recap some of my lessons and experiences for those who are considering signing for a two-year placement with GoCorps. I've personally greatly enjoyed my relationship with GoCorps throughout my term. Your sending organization will be a great source of training and support for you when you Go, but they will also by necessity be somewhat more broadly focused in their training, most of them receiving prospective missionaries from all walks of life. The beauty of GoCorps is that they're so tailored… Read more >>

A Second Home

By on Track: University Outreach Region: Asia - East

Hello Goer Blog Readers!I'm currently coughing up a small storm as I'm writing this post- I've been sick for the past two weeks; quite severe at first, though now I'm on the upswing.I'm not usually one to be too bothered by getting sick, but this has been a bit of an interesting experience, simply because I've been amazed at how many of my Asian friends went out of their way to try an help me recover these last two weeks. From the moment I first bowed out of an event due to it, I've been nearly bombarded with gifts and tea and all manner of small kindnesses and well-wishes.It always amazes me… Read more >>

Easter Events

By on Track: University Outreach Region: Asia - East

Hello GoBlog Readers! An enjoyable part of blog-writing is taking the time to pause and reflect- not only over the past month, but in the context of these Goer Blog posts- really over all of my time here in East Asia in general. As I am writing this, it is Good Friday and I have just stepped out of the second of three Easter-oriented outreach events that our East Asia team is involved with. These have been particularly humbling experiences for me- as the Lord has powerfully blessed our team and our partners with large turnouts of those who are interested in hearing the Good News. Both today… Read more >>

Beginning of the End

By on Track: University Outreach Region: Asia - East

Hello Goer Blog Readers!Here in Eastern Asia we just emerged from a long festival holiday, and next week college classes resume for what will be, for me, the last semester of my two years here. Reflecting back, I remember how a year and a half ago, another Goer and I began campus ministry together at this college- and we had a difficult go of it. It seemed like our particular campus had a somewhat "closed" atmosphere- not as many opportunities for relationship-building with the students as we'd encountered elsewhere. Now, after much prayer and effort and the growth of our campus team and a… Read more >>

A long-overdue update!

By on Track: University Outreach Region: Asia - East

Hello again, Goer blog readers!Wow, it's been a while since my last update- nearly a year. It's incredible to think of all of the things that have happened here in East Asia since my last blog post.I'm now leading two Bible studies every week- one among college students at the local university, and one for some older locals at the local church, where I also lead a youth group. These have all been great opportunities- and no two of them are the same, which keeps them very interesting for me as a leader as well. In the college group, most of those who attend have never had any exposure to the… Read more >>
