I sit here alone in my living room, surround by suitcases and empty white walls, still in disbelief that this is my last night in an apartment I have lived in for a year and half. As I look back and take stock of the past 16 months or so that I have spent in [...]
“Do you mind if one of my friends joins in our activity tomorrow?” On Saturday, Herbert and I planned on having lunch on campus and trying to share the good news with a random student. However, since his friend was coming, I thought it would be great if we shared with his friend. We [...]
Driving around campus, I could almost smell the youth around me. If youth had a smell, it would smell like sweet fruit just waiting to be picked. We drove past the sign that said: Liberty University Missions Emphasis Week February 13th-17th I prayed “Lord, use me to the find the ones you pick for Asia.” [...]
Though I am definitely missing Asia during this season, I am continually amazed at the ways in which the Father of all good things sustains and delights my soul. Sometimes its rest and quiet times with Him; sometimes its experiencing Him in the magnificance of HIs creation; sometimes its in fellowship with brothers and sisters [...]
This past week has been crazy, but crazy awesome as well! We went to H-K last Tuesday and it was a *crazy* long day. We left home at 5:20 AM and didn’t get home till 3:30 AM the next day. But it was crazy good and so much fun to see all our friends in [...]
I can’t believe it is already near the end of February!!! Time is completely flyin’ by. We just finished a time, as a city, prepping and refreshing the vision in front of us for the rest of the year until the team flies home in May. It turned out to be a really special time [...]

Man, this past week has been crazy good. I have so much awesome stuff to share with from my life about what Dad’s teaching me. But first, a report from the harvest field! So, while we had a lot of resting time this past week for Thanksgiving, we also had 2 days before Turkey-Day of [...]
When I was growing up, my family had a little garden off the side of our house. We grew tomato plants, a few rows of corn, cucumbers – the works. It was a cool project for me… well, for the first few days, at least. Then it quickly proved to be a lot of hard [...]
Did you know that over half the U.S. population is unhappy with their current occupation? I was so surprised by that I decided to look into it myself. Based on what I saw, it seems that only 30% to 50% of people actually love what they do. It reminded me of my least favorite job [...]
