Summer Highs

Wow! What a Summer. I am sure you feel like, too. I have had a great summer. In my last post I described how God worked out some details for our Thailand Mission Trip. Well, it was great. We ministered to about 2000 school age kids. We saw several professions of faith. We also saw a lady profess Christ. She had heard of Christ through another source and when we appeared at the village daycare she worked in, she asked the wife of the Thai pastor how she could become a follower of Christ.

We also got to pass out sveral hundred gifts from Samaritan's Purse. This experience was heightened because Ruth Graham died about the time we returned to the States. Just knowing her heart for Asia and her sons work for Samaritans purse reminded me that kingdom minded people have their impact multiplied.





My son Andrew was sometimes treated like a Rock Star. Teenage girls in the schools would point and giggle. He did a great job in his ministry responsibilities. A couple of weeks after returning from Thailand our youth were at Super Summer. Andrew surrendered to missions that week. God's plan for our trip was bigger than our own.





As a Fellow Traveler, I try to keep my comments hear positive, but to be genuine we must acknowledge there are difficulties and disappointments. I have those, too. No, everything is not always just right, but I choose to focus on God's blessings because they far outweigh the negative.
