“Z Yang, is the best disciple I have found in 8 years here. We feel he is better off being trained by you and being a part of your church.” I could hardly believe my ears! The middle-aged Korean man talked as his wife sat by silently, all three of us on little stone stools [...]
As I sat there across from the grandparents holding their two grandsons as they shared some of their amazing story in front of the video camera, I felt like I was in one of the documentaries I’ve seen about Christianity in Asia! Although the accent is different than I’m used to, I could understand most [...]
Thank you all so much for your prayers, not so much for us, but for the situation and for those majorly affected by the earthquake. For many, the quake brought back memories of the 2008 7.9 earthquake where tens of thousands were killed and untold damage done. Even as I type this, I am weeping [...]
We are all all right here in C-town after this morning’s 6.9 earthquake about 70 miles from here. Our apartment building was shaken pretty good, but no damage done around this area as far as I can tell. There are reports of 100+ dead and thousands injured in a city near here, so please do [...]
We all laughed as Chocolate (my female teammate) pounced on the little Asian boy and the basketball (as well as his glasses, haha) went flying.

The tears started to flow down Anna’s face. Our CT sister, who had just shared her testimony, embraced her as the rest of us continued to worship. I thought she had just received life, but that was not the case … just yet. As we wrapped up our second fruitful church meeting on the new [...]
The young intelligent looking guy walked past me while I sat alone in the cafe and said, “Hello” in English. I usually don’t speak English with Asian folks, but hearing that his was pretty good, I entertained him by replying in kind. Turns out he is an English teacher. But the reason God brought us [...]
I pointed up to the apartment complex across the street and told my teammates, “Make sure no one ever lives there!” The bright fireworks exploded with deafening sound for several hours around midnight of the 9th, ringing in the new year, the year of the snake. Many of the explosions (some ours ) came close [...]

We have landed in Thailand! After a few days of meetings and a little fun with CT leaders, the rest of our people are coming in tonight. We are staying at a gorgeous place outside of CM northern Thailand, basking our sun-deficient skin, splashing our tongues with flavors like lemon grass, spicy curries, and mangosteen, [...]

That’s a phrase we in CT use pretty frequently – some vision, huh?!! But that’s exactly what we hope to do here in Asia: to build something solely dependent on the grace and love of God and victory of Chr1st, to saturate a university of 30,000 or 40,000 with the gospel message of salvation and [...]
