As many of you know we have been constantly praying for God to lead us where we can most effectively serve Him and bring Him glory. So far God has sent us to Thailand, Vietnam, and Japan! We have been so blessed to have been a part of so many different ministry opportunities over the last 8 months and to have seen and experienced God working all over Asia. We have learned so much, not only about ministry, but about ourselves. This trip has challenged us in many ways, growing us in our relationship with God and each other. We met many people who have greatly impacted our lives and we will be forever grateful for the time we shared together in Asia.  So whats next?! Over the last month we prayed that God would again guide our way. We prayed for Him to open the doors where we need to go and close them where we didn't. After seeking His direction we felt that God was calling us to come home! We obviously had more to our trip planned, but it is just a reminder that God is in control and...

Tokyo Update

Happy Late Thanksgiving!  We are so happy we were able to spend Thanksgiving in Japan. It has been so fun continuing to build friendships with the missionaries at Hope Alive. On Thanksgiving day everyone came together and we met many missionaries from around Tokyo, most of whom we had not yet met.

At one point I found Brandon and Emily laughing historically not knowing if it was cooked or how to cut it. Despite all the challenges they faced the Turkey came out great.  We have been having a wonderful time h...

August Update

                Hello Everyone ,      I hope this letter reaches you well. While our regularly scheduled monsoon hit this afternoon, I figured it a great time to give you all an update. Mallory and I are doing great here in Chiangmai. It has started to feel like our second home, as we have gotten a good feel on the best little markets to eat at, and where to find the best produce in the mornings. We have even joined a small Pickleball club, and are hoping to grow some relationships with both foreigners(Farang) and Thai's. We are still attending the same church connected to the school, and we have grown some great relationships there. The church is still very young and there is a need for growth, leadership, and discipleship. All that being said, there is no lack of love and commitment to the Lord!       We have made a small shift in our roles at the school, from full time teaching to subbing and helping...
