March Update
March 9, 2015
Family, Friends, and Partners in the Gospel,
In February we traveled to Thailand for the ReachGlobal Asia Division Conference. This was our first time attending a conference like this, and we were encouraged just by meeting fellow missionaries and soaking up teaching from the Word for gospel-centered ministry. Some of the workshops we attended ranged widely on topics of spiritual warfare, forgiveness, Sabbath rest, and more. While all of the information was edifying, some of the seminars that most deeply blessed us were the ones about how Jesus did ministry—very simply, living authentically and lovingly alongside others while passing on the Word of God to people who were willing to learn.
We came away reaffirmed in the simple, but easily forgotten, truth that ministry doesn’t center on having the right programs but on true discipleship in the love of Christ—where God’s people are transformed into the likeness of Jesus. And in retrospect, that’s what the ReachGlobal leadership did for us—they very tangibly loved us by getting to know us as individuals and building us up in fostering community and offering spiritual nourishment. Praise the Lord for using our organization in a way that disciples us as we look to disciple others!

I think these birds were just pigeons, but put them on some coconut trees and I'm wondering if I'm looking at some exotic species. |

We visited the market twice, two days apart. He was working on the nose on the first day; he was still working on the nose the second day. |
