Home for Now
There isn’t enough room in a library to write the things that happen in a span of five minutes, so how am I to write what has happened in the last two weeks? There is really no way, but I pray that God will give me the wisdom to write those things that are truly important.
First, I would like to say that although I have returned from Asia safely, the prayers shouldn’t stop. God has begun an amazing work in the kids that were ministered to over the last month at the Onnuri English Camp and I hope to see it completed in them. I know that God will be faithful to draw each and every one of them closer to himself, and I hope that we can be faithful to pray for them as well.
Last week, we had the opportunity to participate in a foot washing ceremony with all of our students. I was able to pray for and with each one of my students and I could see their response as they opened up to the Lord. I can’t wait to see what the Lord has in store for each one of them.
The final week was an emotional one. We watched the students go and then had only a couple of days left in Korea. I was ready to return home and see my family, but I desperately miss the people of Asia, specifically those with whom I was able to establish relationships. Please pray that my faithfulness would remain in the Lord so that I can carry out the work that He has mandated in his word. We must each devote our lives to the Lord and worship him through our faithful obedience. I pray that I can do that and that each one of you would be given the strength to do the same.
Until I return, and even then, I will be praying for what God is doing in the lives of so many. Please join me in prayer. Thank you so much for your prayers and partnership as I traveled. The Lord really worked through your faithfulness, providing me with strength to carry out his work.
Take care and look for future updates!

You posted this a little over 2 months ago. Can you believe that? The days are flying by. I was just thinking about the foot washing service the other day. Found an entry in my journal about it. What a powerful night. I wish we could keep up with all of our kids and see what the Lord ends up doing in each of their lives. May He continue to put people in their lives to pour into them and disciple them as they grow in their love and knowledge of Him!
