What To Do Now?

I've been home two days now, and to tell you the truth, I am not sure what to do. I know that I enjoy getting up in the morning, walking down the three stories to the little canteen and eating breakfast with my team, having and a sense of purpose for the day. I also enjoyed walking to the school, to the store and to the little WiFi cafe. Today I spent a great deal of time driving and getting less accomplished.

I am also not looking forward to restarting my job search. I spent 2.5 months sending out many resumes to no avail. I think it is a shame that having received a Masters Degree, that I might be forced to seek work overseas. Having said that, I have stated that the high school in Ha Noi is trying to secure me a position, may be starting in October. I look at this as being a full time ministry and if the Lord wills it, I will go into the field full time.

If He calls me into the field, I will need your full support. I and Coy live in the US and thus we have monthly expenses befitting an American. Unless we sell everything we will need your financial support. I truly hope that you will find it in your heart to do so.

Vietnam is a spiritually dark country where people practice ancestor veneration, more so than Buddhism. More funding goes to Africa and India than to Eastern Asian countries like China and Vietnam, yet there are far, far more Christians in these two countries than in South East Asia and China. Despite the fact that Asia is lacking in both funds and human resources, more people are coming to Christ in Asia and at a faster pace than anywhere else in the world. God is working mightily in Asia. As one man said, "They have the divine right to hear the Gospel message, the divine right." Don't you agree?

sickness

Greeting, I must tell you that I've been very sick. I figure I ate some bad food. Nonetheless, the work goes one. This country is a very spiritually dark country, where people sacrifice to trees and rocks, and seek out fortunetellers. My team isn't a team, there are three girls that have formed their own team. There's not much I can do about it. I am sure that He has sent us here to pure a foundation for future teams. I don't question Him. He has a plan, and maybe it is beyond me. There is a spiritual battle being waged here, and in all battles there are casualties. Please be praying for my health, and my teams health. Everyone has come to my rescue, I have more fruit than I can eat. Hoa will be brining over even more since her mother is concerned about me. They are brining me bread. The days are hot here, even more so now that I am sick. We consume a ton of water each day. I must wear two shirts a day which means I must clean my clothes more, which I am...

Peeling the onion July 7 07

My dearest Friend and mentor Bob, has a phrase, peeling an onion. He is referring to being refined as one matures in their walk with God. Each time I come to Asia, I have another layer peeled off. And as you can guess, each time a layer is removed, it hurts. As I sat in the commissioning ceremony the other day, I cried, and thanked Him for making me who I am, and for guiding me, and growing me. I realized that it isn't my direct job to bring the message necessarily, but rather disciplining the counselors. That was an awesome realization, or I should say Revelation . As I write this, I am sitting in the Hong Kong airport, hours away from entering Viet Nam. I've reflected on many things. I would like to take this time to publicly say, Jen, I am proud and honored to call you my friend, and I am thankful that God permitted us to meet. I also want to share that I began this journey $1500 sort, which included my expenses, but through the blessings of the Lord, some on...

Loving Others

As we march out into the world to share the message we must remember one thing. A person’s relationship with God isn't up to us. That is a hard thing to get a hold of. So many Christians make it their business to save people, forgetting that they do not have the power or authority to do so. We can only deliver the message, after that it is between that person and God. That is if we truly believe in God and fully understand that He is in control. Severn years ago, I met a young lady as I have stated in this blog in the past. On my first visit to China, she came to me crying. Since then she has visited me and my wife in each city we have visitedt in China. One day in Chengdu she brought to me a piece of paper. On the paper was the worse news I've received in China. Her aunt and mom practice Fulan Gong. This piece of paper was enough to get her, her mother and aunt thrown in prison and deportation for me. After seven years, she finally had an in depth conversation with m...
