“Will we ever get there?” I wondered as I sat scrunched in the back of the taxi. The school bus going to the new campus was full, so we had to take a taxi. It was our only option. We thought the driver knew where to go, but we were wrong… after more than an [...]
“When I believe, I want to know so that I can be able to go and tell all my friends about what God has done!” It's Christmas Time and we were at one of our many, many Christmas parties that we had planned this week. We were having a blast. We played decorate the Christmas [...]
Connie walked toward her dormitory after class, taking her usual shortcut past the lotus pond. She thought of how much she missed her mother. Her home was a 24-hour train ride away, and it would be another two months before she could see her parents again. Her parents. She winced as the pain hit her [...]
Five minutes to 6pm…I sighed. It would take at the very least 40 minutes to get back to the apartment, not to mention that it was Friday night and rush hour. Our Girls' Night Christmas party was scheduled for 7pm. Reebok, Bear, and I hopped in a taxi. The taxi driver didn't put the meter [...]
“This was the most solemn meeting I have ever been in.” Joy's response made me think about what we'd just experienced together. Thirty young adults standing, kneeling, or on their face in an act of consecration to the Lord. “Yes. Yes, Lord, I will give my life to evangelizing the world.” My brother came to [...]
One more week, and SIX new family members! Our Father is amazing!!! We had a Christmas party last week, and five girls whom we had just met that week, came into the family! Another girl who’s been coming to our Bible study for a while joined the family as well. God is moving in crazy [...]
I continue to be amazed by Him. I guess if you’re ever going to be stuck somewhere, let it be in that place of wonder and awe, adoration. He is worthy of it–all glory and honor and praise, forever and ever. These past several days, over a week or so, we had a team of [...]
Sometimes it can feel like you are just banging your head against the wall. Other times, you can just do no wrong. These two stories are about the former, then the latter, and then the former again. For the last three months, our team has been plowing away, working hard, and doing what the Lord [...]
I think the idea started with talking about the things we usually do for Christmas back home. “How about Christmas caroling?” came the suggestion. And the idea was birthed. We found carols that were written in both the local language and English, and just a few days ago, about twenty friends joined Dove, Knight and [...]
After 3 days playing phone tag, Lindsay finally got a hold of me. “Buttercup, I have some good news!” “My boyfriend, Song, became a Christian this week!” Our excitement was uncontainable! Lindsay and I have been praying for his salvation for the past 10 months! Over that time, he found himself slowly starting to believe [...]
