You know, there is a great benefit to being apart of the body of Christ. In the body, there are many brothers and sisters that we are able to meet and serve alongside. This really hit me during a taxi ride as I was trying to share with the driver. All of the guys were in the backseat crammed in this van and he was asking how we knew each other. I told him I met most of them the week prior, but we were all brothers. He looked at me kind of funny but it is so true! Every Christ follower that I have met over here has understood what it means to be a brother or sister to one another. I can tell you that has been a blessing straight from God. My family has increased one hundred fold as a result of my time in South East Asia. Overjoyed!
These are some of the teams that I have served with recently. Awesome people!
I came over to South East Asia with apart of a short-term team. These guys really helped with the adjustment to life here. Really enjoyed learning and growing with all of them for the first two weeks.
Spent the first six months here with my bro, Andrew. He taught me how to drive a 5 speed. One of the most calm and collected guys that I know. Love you bro!
My cell group. These brothers and sisters have welcomed me into their group and their family. Love these guys and girls to death.
My brothers. Cordova, Danny, Craig, Josh and John. I am a better person because of these guys. Couldn't have asked for a better group to work with! Can't wait to get together again soon.
I actually got to start the transition back home with another short-term team from our church. Really great way to cap this chapter. These guys were great and I enjoyed getting to know all of you.
On the night train to Kuala Lumpur. Wow this was no fun at all. Adam and I were sleeping on the bottom bunks next to the door that would open to the outside all night long! Good memories.
Still in transit. A typical crowded Subway in KL. I thought about my mom who is claustrophobic and knew that she would not be enjoying this ride in the least!
I have one more "M" family that I have gained while living here. Gosh these people are amazing and will continually be in my prayers. These workers in the harvest need continual prayer and support. Thankful to have a lot of faces and people that I can pray for specifically.
Acts 1:8 is my prayer for all of you. Knowing that God has equipped His saints to do the work of the harvest is such a comfort. It says this:
"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."
