“I had a dream last night, and you and Sonata were in it!” This was my friend Jenny speaking, as we sat down to dinner a few nights ago. I was naturally very curious, as Jenny had just come into the family about two weeks ago. So I asked her, “Really? What was it about?” [...]
I found myself squatting in the middle of a circle of Chinese people, all staring intently as I got to the part of the story where the prodigal son is living with the pigs, and suddenly realized, “Wait, pigs aren’t bad in Asia!” So I’m sure you’re wondering how I got through that one, and [...]
I had been dealing with mental attacks from the enemy on just about every level possible, was super tired, felt horrible about my lack of communication back home, was having difficulty trusting Father, and was extremely nervous about a good story presentation I was doing today that I had not prepared for. Yup, Father was [...]
Panic hit the streets of the ‘du this week. First the earthquake (during my birthday dinner!), then the constant rumours of another earthquake on its way (those are still happening), the aftershocks, the rumours of a water shortage (those ended up being false!), planes constantly flying overhead, volunteers requested to help at hospitals as the [...]
Have you ever had “Happy Birthday” sung to you in another language? Well, I got to experience that today for the first time! My birthday is tomorrow, and after our Sunday party today, my friends surprised me with a card, and some amazing muffins that my roommate and my friend Fair made for me. It [...]
This past week was one of the coolest and craziest ones I’ve ever experienced! CT is going to be expanding next year into a new city! It’s bigger, with even more influential campuses!

God answers our prayers. Even when we think it’s impossible, He comes in and makes a way where there seemingly is none. Like this past week, for example. I have a friend named Ruth who came into the family a few months ago, but hasn’t been able to come to even one of our Sunday [...]
In just a few days many of our friends are going to make a public commitment to follow Father for the rest of their lives. That’s right! We’re going to have a dunking! Bath-tub style. Yes, we definitely do things differently over here. I’m just really excited about this one. It’s for a number of [...]
Recently I had a meeting with two of my friends who are in the family. I’ve been taking them through some basic teachings about Father, and the latest was on the topic of dunking. These girls absolutely amaze me! I asked them beforehand what they thought the purpose of dunking was. My one friend Charlotte [...]
Father is so amazing! My roommate Rosey and I just had the most amazing time with our friend Fair. We wrote a song for God, together! It was Fair’s first time writing a song, and she’s still very new to the concept of worship. She was nervous at first, but we were able to encourage [...]
