Winding Down

Hey guys!

Wow, looking back at this location, the time has flown by! We are leaving this coming Sunday to spend the last few days of outreach in Bangkok; and then we're flying back to snowy Colorado February 11. There we will debrief for a week to help us move back into society and discuss our futures! But enough about that!

The past few weeks have been amazing! As you know, the US Navy came ashore in Patong (the red light district) this past Monday. Although it was difficult for my team and me to handle watching some things that happened at the bars, we had some amazing opportunities with some of the bar-girls! As you also know, I have been building a relationship with a 21-year-old woman named, Pong. Last night I did not go to the bar to meet with her, but my group told me they prayed for her in front of the bar before going in, and as a result she opened up a lot more about her life!

Another awesome opportunity happened with a girl from our team too. She was able to pour her heart into one of the bar-girls life and share with her how God had delivered her from a hard past and how faithful he has been to forgive her. God has opened many other amazing opportunities for my team and me. We feel so blessed to be working with the ministry here!

That’s all I can share for now. Thank you so much for all your support and prayers! It has been amazing to see God work through us, and remain faithful through our difficult times here :)

Please pray for our last few days here in Thailand, especially Phuket. Pray for our health and strength. We are growing weary. It's been rough these past few days pushing through being tired and not feeling a 100 percent! Also, please be praying for more breakthroughs Friday and Saturday night. It will be our last nights in the bars. We’re praying for a flood of women to leave the red light district!

Thank you so much everyone :) I love and miss you all! See you soon :)
