I cannot express to you how incredible this team is.  This community of believers has been together
for nearly three weeks and we feel like we are all family.  The Lord is doing incredible things within
these young men and women.  He is
certainly healing past wounds and giving direction to most.  I can see that Hunter feels “right” in serving
the Lord in this capacity.  He knows that
he is called and cannot run away from it.  Sarah’s intimacy with the Lord is deep and
encouraging.  She knows that she is a
daughter of God and she lives like it.  She
always wanted to be a princess, and well, she truly is.  Nate’s humility and trust in the Lord speaks volumes.  I know that he is truly led by the Lord and
is sensitive to the direction of the Holy Spirit.  Also, he is an all-star with the
children.  Nikki is right on.  She has been receiving much healing and
understanding of who she is in the Lord.  She is so strong, and is a blessing to this
team and this nation.  I am confident
that she will be unstoppable for the Lord when she returns home. Courtney is
always encouraging and gentle.  I know
that she does not like the heat but she never complains nor shows fatigue of
the heat, even thought it is pretty hot here.  Don’t be surprised if Courtney returns to Thailand or
some other foreign land to serve the Lord.  Her love for the Lord is evident and will
follow Him to the ends of the earth.  Eric loves the Lord… that is an understatement.  He seems to always center everything we do to
the cross.  He is consumed with the
Lord.  I am pretty sure we will find this
brother preaching the Gospel in the future.  He cannot run from his love to teach and
preach.  Jamie is fitting in well for
this Buddhist nation.  She loves the
culture, people, but moreover, Jesus.  She
and I have been spending much of our days at a high school and the students
love her, and she loves them.  Her
meekness, love, and acceptance of these people is already pointing the students
and teachers to the light of Christ in this dark place.  Angel is scratching and itching because of
some weird rash.  But, other than that,
she loves being back in Thailand
and is doing well.  Pray for her health
though, we’re not sure what this rash is.  But, she has been non-stop for the past three
years going from country to country and her body is probably and little
fatigued.  And I love Jesus.  And I want to love people like He loves
people.  

But that’s all for now. 
Thanks for all of your support and prayers.  Praise God because no one has been sick!  Well, except for Angel and this rash.  But, God is so good.

  1. Well this is the first time I cried, but they are tears of joy and pride (and I miss Sarah just a little!). Your descriptions of these beautiful young women and men sound so true and remarkable; God truly puts everyone on earth for His purpose. Stay safe and happy on the other side of the world. The people on this side of the world are humbled and proud.
    Miss you,
    Love,

  2. It is incredible what God can do with a group of young, strong, young adults. It is nice getting to know the rest of the team. I wish I could be there to witness the growth of each and every one of you.

    Thank you for what you said about Nate. As his mom, I have seen God do real miracles in his life – especially since Hurricane Katrina. That is when I saw the biggest change in him. Nate is extremely excited to be ministering in Thailand. Give him a hug from his mom – who loves and misses him very much. I am very proud of not only my son, but the whole group. Just think, 5 1/2 more weeks to go – I can’t wait to hear what God uses that time for.

    Blessings to all of you. As many are, I am praying constantly for all of you.

    In His Love,
    Judy Kaiser

  3. I will continue praying for all of you! I could not imagine doing what you all are doing (unless God called me to it, of course!), and I thank God that you all are doing well. I will be praying for Angel’s health and that God clears this rash. I have no doubts that you guys are doing wonders there, and I cannot wait to read more stories!

    God bless you all,
    Dori
