The Finale

Well.. This is it!! This is my last blog before I come back. 9 days left! I can’t believe it! First, I just want to say how truly
grateful I am for all of you. I’m grateful that you all were able to be part of my adventure in Asia. I’ve learned so much. Wow, there has been so much that’s happened in these last past weeks. I can say that the Favor of the Lord is upon us here in Asia. I can also say that our mission here has been accomplished. I want to tell you what happened last Friday..
We started a fellowship a few weeks back. We have 8 believers who are a part of it. I thank you for all your prayers. Yuan came to
Lord!!! Yes!! So, Friday Dublin and I, got the brothers together to have dinner. We wanted this night to be more example of fellowship so they could continue when we leave. The Lord really showed up! We all ate roasted fish! The night started with Yuan opening in prayer. Even in him thanking the Lord for food, it was deep! AHha He said “ I thank you for showing us your Love and us being in your love forever. Amen! During dinner, Kyle told his testimony. I held back my tears. I really did try. It was guys night you know, but then I told my Testimony. I starting balling and weeping. Then they all just grabbed my hands until I was done. It was really powerful.

I told them how the Lord called me to Asia. I told them that God promised me I will learn their language and I told them that each
of them has a great destiny that God has planned for their Life. They know. They get it! All of them have grown so much. At the end
as we were walking home Sunny told me something. He told me “when I see you I see myself” I see sunny. You know Sunny’s heart is so big and I always tell him that. But the Lord wanted to teach me something that night. I’ve had a rough life growing up. Sometimes I feel I’ve failed in the area of love towards my family, my mother, brothers.. that I could have been a more loving son.. or Friend.
But, Sunny knows we are all made in God’s image so he could see it in me. I know I have love and I can trust in the Lord to share his
love. I really love Jesus and I know because I love Him He continues to work in me to love His people.

In His Hands

Press On

He who calls you is faithful and also WILL do it! (1 Thess 5:24) This time has been a little hard for me. Sometimes I just
analyze my day too hard or look to far into little faults I have or things I may have done, you know you just love the Lord so much and you want to be as close to him as possible. God has been teaching me something… IM NOT PERFECT. I will never be perfect. But He still loves me anyways! No matter how much right or wrong I do, I can always enter into his presence because He is in me. He never leaves me or forsakes me.

I have to tell you of two major request I really need prayer for right now!!! About a week ago, I was spending some time with the
Lord at night and I really felt I needed to check my email. When I opened it I found disturbing news. My step-Father has been
diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes and said he was having problem with his vision. Immediately I began to cry and I ran to my roommate to have him pra y with me. I really didn’t know how to react. I tried to call my mom but she didn’t answer. I actually remembered my step- dad’s number and called him. I got to talk with him after 8 months of no contact. I last saw him at my commission service.
The second request is my focus and vision for this last full month in Asia. With my mind focused on leaving soon, I’ve found myselfto be a little impatient and also having some anxiety for my friends. Really trying to get this church planted so there is fellowship for them after I leave. Sometimes I feel like a Daddy who doesn’t want to leave his kids home by themselves! I trust in the Lord. They’re old enough and are maturing in the things of the Lord so I know everything is in His timing. Just ask God to give me clear vision, patience and better time management. I’m really excited about what God has done this year.
We’ve been meeting a lot of new friends. They are all open to God and have great English! Kyle and Sunny are great! Terry still
hasn’t made a decision but he preaches at all our parties! (He’s saved He just doesn’t know it yet!)

His Vision

Dayle — Thu, 17 Mar 2011 17:10:33 +0000

First, I just want to thank you all for thinking of me! I’m doing a lot better now, I feel recharged and ready to go! Something really
cool happened to me last week. I had a vision. I want to share it with you all.
As you know during the time of some new guys coming to know the Lord, I myself was going through some things. Well, while I was on my bed on my knees face down to the Lord something happened… I saw myself crying at the feet of Jesus. Everything was white around me. It felt like a scene from one of those movies where the person dies or something and they are in this big empty white room of space. However, it was Christ and me. Jesus yelled out like a roar almost like a strong wind from his mouth. It blew away some dark cloud that was behind me. Then He put his right hand on my head and told me to stand up. Stand in his Authority. As I got up, all these Angels landed and encircled us. Surrounding us. Now I stood face to face with Jesus I couldn’t see his face though but I knew it was Him. I put my hands on his shoulders as I faced Him. He touched me and said be Restored. As He said this, all the Angels pulled out swords and anointed my head with them. (Like when a king Knights someone with a sword) Then they removed them. Jesus moved to the side of me revealing steps as He directed me toward them. He said “This is your inheritance” I opened my eyes from praying and was looking out my bedroom window’s view. Then I heard “ASIA”…
One thing God does for me when I feel discouraged or anything really, He reminds me of my destiny. It’s my most favorite to hear
from the Lord and what He does in my life. Also who I am called to be!!! I’ve never had such an intense vision like that before! I
told you because I thought it was cool! But I also told you to remind you of God’s restoration power. I believe we can all draw
from this and I hope is an encouragement to all that He can and He will restore you when you need it!!! I really am grateful to have
you guys praying for me!!

So… I’m baptizing Bruce tomorrow and Kyle is also dunking a brother!!!!! Chyeahhhhhhhh!!!

Favor

Dayle — Mon, 07 Mar 2011 18:21:46 +0000

I ask that you keep me in your prayers. I know that all of my blogs have been really great or just maybe full of good things, but
I believe I should also tell you of hard times as well. I love you all and ask that you ask God to give me more strength. I just
lately have felt a little overwhelmed with a lot of the ministry God has blessed me in. It’s been a lot on me to pour out all my
brokenness and truth from my life to close friends. Kind of a draining feeling. God has used the power of my testimony to bring more into the Kingdom! I have to tell you that 2 guys, back to back, one on Friday then one on Saturday, both came into the family!!! Vincent and Bruce. Yes Bruce!!! Finally the Lord came into his heart. I thank you for your prayers!
When Bruce came back from his holiday, I had lunch with him and he poured out to me. At first he kept talking about the great time, he had with his old child-hood friend. But I asked well, what about your family? Bruce said, “I don’t want to talk about that”. A little while later, he told me that his parents were separating and considering divorce. So I prayed for him. Last Saturday I had dinner with him and poured out my heart. I told him how my parents had been divorced as I came into Asia. He apologized because he prejudged me. Bruce thought I was just some rich American coming to visit Asia and make friends. I told him how hard it is everyday that I’m here to tell people of God and His grace. When the very person who introduced me to Christ has turned away from him. I told Bruce that even if he accepts God life will still be hard but God will help you through it. I told Bruce that during the time of my decision to come to Asia if God told me, I would go to Asia and not have any friends or people who liked me except for a man named Bruce that I would meet. I would still choose to come all the way to Asia just to tell Bruce that God loves him. Immediately he wanted to leave the restaurant and walk on campus. I knew he was ready to make the decision. I took him to campus and sat on what I now call the Bruce bench! He asked Jesus into his heart, to forgive him of his sins and he closed the prayer with “I pray that you help Enoch’s family”. Then he looked at me and said I will pray for your parents when I pray for mine.

• My request that you think of me. I hurt for those I love. I need more comfort and trust in Him.
• I also ask still for Terry. He is so close!
• Also for our new friend Vincent. His story is very sad but his girlfriend lives in America but he doesn’t know what to do. He doesn’t have the money or the plan if he did go to America, he needs guidance.

His favor is on me and I’m blessed to have you all who read this blog and think of me.
IN HIS HANDS

Back in Business

Dayle — Fri, 18 Feb 2011 14:44:05 +0000

Well, our winter session has come to close. I really was grateful for the people who took their time to invest in me. We had great
speakers who encouraged me for round 2! I have 13 weeks to make it happen! I’m excited for what God has done so far with such a
beautiful work and can’t wait to see the rest of his Glorious Plan! I’ve learned a lot being here. So I want to let you know.. The rest
of my blogs will be just a tad bit different from here on out. You are here with me. This is also your work! I believe God operates
through prayer. So I will always include both a request and a update on everything over here because you’re his saints and He
hears you.

I just want to tell you about everything over here. The students should be coming back next week! The boys are all ready here though, praise God, I see Kyle and Sunny every other day. We are growing as friends and their relationship with God is growing! Kyle has a classmate named Terry. He’s almost there. Please ask God for Terry to join the Family and to know Him. He is very close. Please ask God to help me and Dublin strategize and adjust as the students come back with new schedules.

I want you guys to share an excerpt from my Journal. It’s a poem of Jesus talking about my destiny. This is everyone’s destiny! After you read it you can put your name where mine is because He died for us all!!!
“So what’s my Destiny / Christ died on the cross to invest in me / hanging on a tree, while sweats and bleeds / can’t breathe / He screams / Let (Ben) believe…… Let (Ben) receive, my grace / my promise, my love, my seed /no longer a slave cause (you) been set free / I paid the price so (you) can live in me / I call you my son (daughter) / my friend, my servant /and if I had to die again it’s all worth it!”
Man!! He really loves us!

In His Hands

Festival Time

Dayle — Tue, 08 Feb 2011 14:59:52 +0000

Life here in Asia is almost back to a schedule. It has been crazy….but I love it! So… coming back into Asia is like going to a
Disney world in a warzone! It is festival time and fireworks are going off everywhere all the time! Even now as I write this
there is chaos!! hahaha I’ve gotten a chance to partake in some of the fire hazard fun festivities. For this holiday, all the students
go home to their families! I got to go to my Asian friends’ hometown!

I was there for three days. I’m blessed by God to say these 3 days have been such a beautiful and effective experience. We had a lot
of close time with our friend Kyle, to pour into him and talk about what God has for him next! Kyle was tearing up the whole time we
talked to him. The Lord pressed on our hearts to tell him how much he means to God and how important his life is to the Kingdom. Kyle said that before he met us his life felt simple and now he knows the calling on his life! Its was a really powerful moment for us
all. Great news, Kyle has already committed to an Missions trip for this summer.

Kyle lives in the mountains! His city was amazing and we got to climb all the way to the top of a mountain and shoot off fireworks!
We got to see his old high school, meet his teachers, eat 3 times a day with his whole family and ride on motorcycles! None of his
family knows God..but they will, please pray for them. The most effective way to reach Asians is by their own language! “You
can make a Asian friend with English, but you can make a disciple with their heart language”. My language training is getting a lot better. Every day I spend in Asia is another day of me waking up and knowing I need to learn this language. I will learn the language, to read it, write it and speak it. I looked at my calendar today… only a few months left.Time has flown by, but I’m grateful for every second of it!

Christmas…in…Asia!

Dayle — Wed, 22 Dec 2010 16:49:19 +0000

Chyeah!!! Christmas in Asia. I’ll be having friends over making sugar cookies. Getting and giving gifts! I ask you to continue to
pray for me because what better gift is there than the gift of salvation! I will be having 5 friends who aren’t Christians
over. Ask God to do his work and see them entered in! Please!!

My heart has been growing and I have chosen what is next! I will plan to come back to Asia! I know that God has called me here. Since last January when I was at bible school. This January will mark 1 year since I have answered the Call! Yeah, Oh I want to tell you all what has happened here! So much, I have learned so much already. I spoke in their language and didn’t know it, I
saw 2 of Asia’s future leaders baptized, I’ve got to meet great people of God! I love it and I love it and I love it!

There’s so much God will do this year and I humbly wait on his timing! I yearn for His people to love him, feel Him and to see Him! Can you imagine when you ask some one about Jesus and they say they’ve never heard of Him. When you tell them that God loves them and they say, “Really”? He loves me? I’m so blessed to be here! My heart hurts even now as I write this; I just can’t wait for God to do so much more… I continue to pray for of you all!

I wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! When you go in to this next year, ask God to pour His favor upon
Asia!

Blessed!

Dayle — Tue, 14 Dec 2010 15:41:24 +0000

I’m blessed to tell everyone something GREAT that God has done!!! A friend that I’ve known ever since I got here just came into the
family last week! I count new family the same way a new baby is born into this world, we should always be grateful and celebrate new birth! We had been talking to my friend for a long time. He was faithfully coming to our Bible studies until we decided to buy him a Bible with English and his own language that he wanted. After we gave it to him, he was so happy and amazed he told us that Thursday he would come to make his decision! I’m so grateful that God has been working in us here!

So.. there’s more…. when he came something happened. After my friend received Jesus, each of us prayed for him. But while one was praying over him, I was whispering and was speaking in tongues over him. After we were done, I showed him Acts 2. He already knew it and said, “Actually you know I remember what you said over me while you were whispering. You spoke in my language and told me of my friends and I seeing God’s Magic”! I was speechless for a moment. I was just whispering I didn’t think anyone heard me. I was speaking his heart language!!! Wow, I prophesied he would see miracles and I did’nt even know it!! haha I love God. My friend will be getting baptized this week, praise God!

Awesome Week!

Dayle — Tue, 07 Dec 2010 15:18:36 +0000

I really, really, REALLY, had an awesome week! The first part of the week started last Saturday at our Bible study. My friend that I had been inviting for three weeks finally came. He wanted Jesus and asked Him into his life that day! He also brought a friend with
him who was practically in tears the whole study, the Spirit really touched him and they both want to come again. Also another one of our friends who we really been asking God to touch came up to Dublin after the study. He said that Thursday he wants to come to
the house and accept Jesus! WoW! This kid was someone we first met here and the first time we talked to him he came close but right before prayer he said he couldn’t do it. But thanks to God and continually praying for him he is ready!

I also just want to say thanks to all of you for thinking of me and the friends here! 3 people in one day! I love it!

It was our friend’s birthday this week and she decided to make a theme party! It was dress up as your own superhero. It was hilarious! After the party we all went roller- skating together. I’m excited today because I’m going to meet more break-dancers at another university here! You know, it’s crazy how God works! I thought I’d be coming here to one university to try and find break dancers but I’m on the other side of the world and this will be the 3rd university I’m meeting break-dancers! I feel so grateful, I’m just anywhere and I see people break-dancing, sometimes I go up to them and they say they already know God! I know I’m supposed to be here. I want to learn the language!

I have more thing to tell you all….. Every day I walk home at night, there is a bridge I cross and a blind man sits there with a
bag begging. I actually think he’s blind, deaf and mute. I usually give him some money as I pass, but every time I pass, I cry because
I just want to lay hands and see him healed. One night I was talking to God and I had a vision of the man being healed. The next
night I told myself if I see him on the bridge I will pray for him. Guess what…. He was there. I was nervous but I put money in his bag
and touched his hand saying receive your sight! His eyes focused on me and he looked at me, I got really scared and kind of walked
away. He didn’t say anything but he looked at me. Every time I walk past him he only gazes forward as if he never knows who’s there but this time was different. I haven’t see him yet so I don’t what happened but if I see him again I will do the same! I always cry
out and ask for miracles but God said to me they are all around you. I just have to make the step. Every day I see a cripple, blind
or people with a gimp leg. God gives me opportunity all the time! So now, I will take them!

Turkey Day

Dayle — Wed, 01 Dec 2010 15:32:00 +0000

I hope everyone had a great thanksgiving. I got to have two turkeys and enjoy time with some new friends. I actually celebrated
Thanksgiving twice. I had one with my Asian friends and another with the family here! It was great! We had all our Asian friends
make turkeys out of construction paper. Then they stuck the turkeys on the window and we had a contest for the best one. Towards the end we sat everyone down and went around the room telling one thing we were thankful for.
Everyone was in charge of bringing a dish for the party! When it got to me I marked down that I would bring………. cinnamon rolls! Of course! It was great to take a day to gobble down some good American food. I can still feel the after effects from the dinner!
I love and miss everyone and I have new word to share. Please pray that we stand on God and let him do the work. That we
will see signs and miracles but that we remember they are done through Him. Also that we have faith to trust He will do all he
speaks of. I got a picture… Just like the five loaves and two fish Jesus used to feed the 5,000. There are five/loaves = of us on
this campus and there are two/fish = specific people new in the family who He will use this year to reach the 10,000 people that
are here and they will be fed spiritually with his Gospel. Praise God!!! Yeah, He has been speaking very clearly, something big is
going to happen!!
