Blessed

Hello, just some quick updates. My parents was here last weekend and we had a blast!! Seriously it was a great blessings to see them again and for them to be able to see what I am doing here in the field and be able to bring a glimpse of home to me. Ohh... just realizing how blessed I am to have parents like them. They love the Lord, so so much and they bring not just love but also encouragement and support. I know it is very hard for them to see me being away from home, but I appreciate their hearts that are obedience to the Lord. We went up to the temple up in the mountain for fun, but they were all praying and speaking prophetically for the city. They love this city! And that of it self, speak a lot for me. It speaks more than just "I love you" or "We are proud if you", it speaks to me that they are putting God as their priority and really loving the very thing I love, the very thing God loves. Again I say, I am so blessed to have parents like them. To be able to

Greater Things are Still to be Done...

I have always love to work with young people. So, some of you probably know that my ministry focus kind of shifted a little bit after the new year yeah? I am now full time working at the coffee shop and doing friendship evangelism with the young people in the university. and it has been a heck of fun, I have to tell you. There is nothing better (except maybe revival broke out and people are repenting in a massive scale) than working in a coffee shops, talking and sharing stories with young people my age, making friends, play sports, hang out, and have the chance to meet teams from all around the world. Yeah, that sounds really fun isn't it?? But I have to admit again, that there is some challenges here and there. If you have received my newsletter regularly, you probably know about my struggles and prayer requests. But I just want to say it again here... that I have HOPE! and hope is not disappointing because the love of God has been poured out for us!! There has been some signific

I do not want to leave

hey, it' s been a while. I am so sorry that I am doing a pretty bad job of updating my blog! but here is a new entry about what I feel and experience here living in Thailand. I don't want to leave. It's not that I don't want to leave Thailand... but there is another reason to it. Last night I was at the youth gathering and we were singing and worshiping together. It has been a while since I go to a youth gathering like that, since our church doesn't really have a youth gathering. This is a thing that they did once a month and I was able to go this time. We were praying and gathering for a camp that will be held in Mae Jo next week and they are expecting about 5000 people will show up. And we were worshiping God and we were singing this Thai song that I know, titled "I will love and adore (translated)". I mean, I sung this song many many times before that I memorized it in Thai. And I do love it. But last night, they were putting the English translation to

Just some thoughts

So I just realize that I've been learning a lot through all that happen in my life, even just in the past year. Yeah, it doesn't seems like it. But I do, I do learn a lot of things... One of them is following the Lord, just the fact that it is hard. I know he never said that it's going to be easy at all, but when it comes, boy I feel like I want to quit. Yes, I have to admit that there is time that I just want to give up. It is so easy for me to look back and regret my decision following God like this... don't get me wrong, I love the Lord, it's just that I could have way better life and easier life at home. I don't have to drive motorbike in the rain and get my pants soaked on the way to work, I don't have to do my own laundry, I don't need to work hard to make friends, I don't need to create opportunities with people, life at home is easy. But why would I do that, if I have to disobey God? I know that he will bless me still if I would stay at home,

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to you all! I know I haven't give any updates in a while... It's been crazy hectic for me. There was tons of parties that I need to attend and I had a trip back home for about 2 weeks. So I am really sorry for not sending you newsletter this month and not even a greeting on Christmas day. But I figured that your inbox probably filled with that season greetings. :) but forgive me. Things are going good. A lot of ministry even during the holiday season. It's been tiring I am not gonna lie, but it's been good too. I've been refocusing a lot these days... and doing a lot of prayer. Because some things had happen in our ministry, and all of us were taking a step back and really asked the Lord to restore us again. It's been a rough end of the year but we know that it was necessary so that we persevere towards God and his works. I've recovered a little bit from the business, and now I feel like I am ready to do some work again. And for those of you t
