Missing the family

So I've only been back in Thailand for a full week and already thinking about the blessings that I left in California.  It is amazing to realize that missionaries nowadays are able to jump on a plane and 24 hours later I can be walking into my home here in Thailand.  I am overwhelmed with the blessing that is my family.  When I think of the love I have received from my family, and Tracy's family, it is a tangible demonstration of the amazing love and grace that Jesus has shown me.  So thank you LORD for the wonderful gifts that you've given me, I'm eternally grateful.

Great times in the US

I can't believe that this time in the states is already over.  These past 6 months have flown by so fast.  These are some pictures of some conferences, speaking engagements, some fun families events, get togethers, and new friendships that have been made.  What an amazing opportunity to connect with the body of Christ and making new friends.  Thank you for all of your love and support.

Blessings,

Kern County Fair

So Tracy and I have been looking forward to many events here in California, one of which is the Kern County Fair here in Bakersfield CA.  I certainly has been surreal having the opportunity to be back in my hometown with my bride and boys.  Nonetheless, we desire to make the most of this time here in the states.

Sharing

Tracy and I have had many opportunities to share at different places and Churches.  Such a gift it is to teach from God's Word and share about what Jesus has been up to in South East Asia.  May the LORD use us to challenge the Church.

Reconnecting

It has been fantastic seeing old friends since we have come back stateside.  What a blessing it is to be reconnected to old friends.  What a blessing from Jesus.

MINA Retreat

Coming back to British Columbia has been wonderful!!!  It was such an incredible time to be at the MB MINA-Ministry in North America, used to be called furlough, retreat with other MB Missionaries throughout the week.  What a gift to connect with friends we haven't seen for about 3 1/2 years, since our training, to reconnect with them and with new friends as well.  The sessions and prayer times had been amazing!!! I'm so honored and grateful to be part of such a wonderful organization and family!
