Thailand

Welcome to a terribly delayed tour of the adventure God took me on in Thailand! I find myself thrilled to finally sit and share this experience with you. Jesus placed a love for south-east Asia in my heart since early middle school. What a gift to enter this region for the second time in my life (our family went to Freedom in Christ conference in Malaysia when I was a young teenager)! I went to Thailand on an internship with the ministry Project Rescue ( Project Rescue ). They reach out with Christ's love, the Gospel and practical aid to individuals hurt by human trafficking. The ministry started in India; since then, God has grown them to over a dozen locations around the world! Project Rescue wisely gathered us nine interns for a time of training and spiritual preparation before sending us to the field. They hosted us at their base in Missouri for three days. Several missionaries, psychologists, and Project Rescue workers spoke to us. They equipped us with practical knowledge, in...

Greece Part 2

Greece trip continued... For the next three nights we stayed at AZ Bible camp in Leptokarya. The camp sat on the Aegean sea shore with Mount Olympus in view on the opposite horizon. The handful of staff received us with the love of Christ. They cooked our meals with love, taught us words in Greek, and gave wonderful hugs. A Greek woman named Anna who studied at Moody Bible Institute in the late 1900s even came to meet us! These women are modern Tabitha's, serving the body of Christ with whatever their hands find to do. A view from the camp dining room Cabins on the camp property. We stayed in the main four-story building.

The views from Mount Olympus... Mount Olympus, according to Greek mythology, is home to the main gods. Greek history and mythology intertwine repeatedly. The Greeks believed their gods were env...

Greece Part 3

  One final stop: the Evangelical Greek Bible College in Pikermi (near Athens). This is the only evangelical college in the country, and we had the blessing of staying here for an entire week. On our way to church the first morning, we passed sheep heads on the grill. The cook insisted on a selfie :) We worshipped with one of the very few evangelical churches in the area. The pastor of this small congregation served in Papua, Indonesia before becoming a missionary to Greece. He walked in wearing a Papuan shirt for the first time in a while, and the Indonesian student from our group excitedly connected with him. He pointed out a large picture on the wall of his father ministering as a missionary among a Papuan tribe on the student's home island! The pastor, Jonathan, also directs Hellenic ministries; he shared with our team about the persecution they have faced: beatings, imprisonments, arrests and ostracization. They receive this pushback from the Greek Orthodox church and some mem...
