Trip to Uganda!

Hello to all!
I just thought I would write since I haven't in a while, and let you all know what's going on with me!
Well to start off I would just like to say that school is going pretty good. I got my report card today and I have all A's!! So I am very happy about that!

Another exciting thing recently is that I got accepted to go on a trip to Uganda this summer! I will be going with an organization called global expeditions which every year they take teens on trips all over the world to minister to people through evangelism, drama and just being a friend to people who may not have any friends.
In Uganda we will basically be ministering to kids that are in migrant camps, who have no one to turn to and they are orphans. We will also be doing street evangelism and drama!

I am very excited about this opportunity and I just ask that you guys would pray for me as I prepare for the trip and raise the money needed!!

Well that's all for now!

China

Friends,

We had the opportunity to minister in the Yunnan Province of Southern China. It was a great visit with our friends. They are exploring the possibilities of working in a new city. There is much need of our message in this area.

The trip home was long but uneventful. Now I am trying to adjust my body clock back to CST. Oh yea, an extra hour to lay in bed awake tonight....

Thank you for being a part of this trip. It was very successful.

Hello from Thailand

Friends,

This has been a great trip to Thailand. We have exceeded our goals and expectations. We have spent time with Davelyn, a Filipino missionary who works with the Shan people. She has a good work with this people group. Many are refugees who have little to nothing but are open to receive the love of the Lord.

We have met with the Bianchi's who are wonderful people who work tirelessly to help missionaries stay on the field. They provide member care to many organizations here in Chiang Mai. We also visited the Phayao Girls home which is another area of ministry for the Bianchi's near the border with Laos. This home provides a place for at risk girls to keep them out of prostitution. While at the home they learn about the love of God and these girls have been transformed by the power of God into a mighty prayer force. They prayed for us yesterday before we left and there was great power in their prayers.

Tomorrow we are off for China. I will try to give an update about China after we have departed for home.
