My first thought was, “I wish he was a woman!” I met Cody when Rebekah & I went to tour a campus with a friend, Leaf. I knew I needed to be there and it was my extreme hope that I would be able to meet some girls to invite to my apartment to study [...]
It was my first “English Corner” and I must admit that I was feeling the fatigue of two straight hours of conversation. After all, it’s not everyday that, for an extended amount of time, I’m surrounded by 7-10 college students (of the hundreds in attendance) who are peppering me with questions and soaking up every [...]
I have often been told in this city where I live that there is never any blue sky. The sun is also hidden behind clouds. But today was different! Today the clouds broke open as a reminder of the love of our Father. He heard my desire for a breakthrough, and the blue sky reminded [...]
If there is one thing I have learned so far, it would be….Hmmm there’s too many! But the most important one is that I am learning to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit! What an awesome thing is it when you are speaking with a student, it’s not really going anywhere, and all of a [...]
Greetings from the other side of the world! Things are already so busy here and the ministry is taking off. My roommate and I are having tremendous success. It is evident that the Holy Spirit goes before me every place I go. Keep up the prayers. Story Time- It was a rainy night and hundreds [...]

Wow! So much had happened in the past week that it seems I’ve been here for at least a month. Being here has been kind of a double shock to my senses: first, living in Asia and secondly, living in a city of 9 million people. For the most part, I think I’m adjusting well. [...]
Have you ever had mayo and tomatoes with fruit salad? I think in the past few days I have eaten more unique foods than in all of my life combined. And I’m loving it! Duck tongue, squid, intestine… they are all a bit slippery on chopsticks, but I’m getting skilled. =) All this said, I [...]
Shawn was the first friend that I made when I came to Asia in 2004. He was a freshman in college and had never talked to an American before. Our friendship really got going when he called me on Thanksgiving Day, 2004, and wished me a happy holiday. He was so nervous that he was [...]

Not sure what day it is. Probably somewhere between the 12th and 13th, but I am not even sure of that. Hours on a plane can do that to you. Causing moments to run together in a disoriented pattern of conversations and shifting to try and get comfortable. Try is the key word! I am [...]
