Hey Gang, Here’s an update on what’s been happening. I’ll send a cool story along in a day or two, but first here’s the low-down: The last two weeks have been incredibly intense for me. I helped to lead worship at a conference, reconnected with all the team members that I left a month ago, [...]
Hi Team! I just got back from a retreat a few days ago. =) What an incredible place! I got to ride an elephant, an ox cart, and a bamboo raft. I also enjoyed hanging out in the night market a little. I even got sucked into eating a cricket and a bamboo worm
