“Prepared” is not a word I'd use to describe myself before I left for Asia. Sure, we were taught things about the country, customs, people, how to interact, how to lead someone to Jesus Christ, how to walk with them once they've accepted Him, and other important, vital things like how to eat with chopsticks.

Excitement was tossed around the room as we met with 17 of our Asian friends last Saturday night. Laughter and conversation filled the room until the late hours of the night. There was a feeling of happiness that my roommate and I shared after the party was over. All of our Asian friends came together for the [...]
I couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed. I was sure I’d explained everything to her. She even said she wanted to believe, but couldn’t right now – her friends and family wouldn’t understand. I was at a loss for what to do. So I did the only thing left – I prayed. “God, it’s [...]
In front of our green gate, a bit to the left, there is a sea of metal mailboxes. One of them is ours as you can imagine. You’d expect in America that one of the first things the landlord or real estate agent would give you is a key to your mailbox and a quick [...]

As we are settled around the little table with our friend Jenny, Mcdoogle asks if I would like to say grace. I accept and as I finish thanking God for the delicious la mien (noodles) Jenny gives us a questioning look. We had already explained to her that we are Christians, and she only seemed [...]
I think I found a solution to having strange girls ask to touch my hair. I took the plunge and got it cut the other day. I had been dreading that moment since before I left. Probably 99% of the male population here has the same exact haircut, and it isn’t long or curly. Someone [...]
My teammate Joy and I were very much looking forward to going to the mall. Joy really needed a winter coat so our friend Cherry volunteered to take us. As we got off the bus and began to walk we noticed a large department store looming in front of us. Joy excitedly exclaimed “Oh! Is [...]
She had picked up my journal! I couldn’t believe it, but then again I knew better. Of course this would happen. I had left my journal on a small table next to one of the sections of our couch because I had been using it during my quiet time with God that morning, but I [...]
Things on this side of the world have been going well, quite well indeed. We’ve been having appointments everyday, which without fail, have given us opportunity to share the word of God. Seriously, daily opportunities have been put before us! They’re so hungry for it. We’ve also been continuing our lessons on the language, which [...]
