April Showers

Thursday, April 30th, 2009 by Sierra

“April showers bring May flowers” is the age old saying. With our recent shower trials of late, I have come to appreciate the comfort of a good watering hole. Thankfully though, our week long cat and mouse game with the gas company has concluded and we did manage to get a good story out [...]

Time Is Winding Down

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009 by Shamgar

I hope all bodes as well for you as it does for me. I’m doing quite well over here as this year in Asia winds down to its end. Three weeks left! I’m not going to lie, I’m excited to come home and see everyone again and eat American food, but I wouldn’t want to [...]

A Trip Away From Home

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009 by Rocky

As I looked out the window of the bus I saw what look to be rocky, dry soil but there where also trenches and green plants growing sometimes too. I wasn’t sure at first what I was looking at, but I was sure I was in a very different place then where I call home [...]

Stagnent Back To Life!

Sunday, April 26th, 2009 by Reebok

I woke up with my heart racing. The remnants of a bad dream were still playing through my mind. Yet, even half asleep, I was aware of what was happening…And I began to ask the Lord once again for His protection in the battle we were waging. The enemy had tried to break down our [...]

Turns Out, I’m A Monkey

Friday, April 24th, 2009 by Atlas

The other day I was on the bus, and about 30 seconds before my stop the lady sitting next to where I was standing dropped her thermos full of what appeared to be fish head soup. It fell to the ground, breaking open and then splashed all over my shorts and went all down [...]

Growing In Prayer

Thursday, April 23rd, 2009 by Skittles

I sat on my bed in tears and completely exhausted at the end of the second day in our scouting trip. I thought it had been a great day, right up until the last few moments. We had gone to the first campus that day, prayed a lot, and gathered information, even finding [...]

Preparing the Way

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009 by Pinky

I recently took a scouting trip to another city and it was amazing. It was a fresh change from what I have been doing all year and I wished I could stay there. The weather was comfortable, daily expenses were cheaper, people seemed friendlier, and I just seem to be enjoying myself more in Woo-han.
At [...]

Intense

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009 by Jimmy

Imagine if you can, a big boiling pot of red-hot sauce bubbling around inside of a table. A climate that scorches past 100 degrees. This is CQ.
So we just got back from the most intense 4-day trip I have ever been on this year and in my life. We went to a nearby city which is [...]

Sabrina

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009 by Skittles

We had invited a few of our close friends over to celebrate Easter with us. The food was already ordered from a nearby restaurant, and there wasn’t really anything left to do to prepare. Sabrina was on my mind. I had met her two days before around 11 o’clock at night on [...]
