And the Lord provides, yet again.

Matthew 7:11
"If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give what is good to those who ask Him!"



Confirmation from the Lord is evident that I will be spending my summer in Thailand! The Lord has spoken through his people and has provided me to reach my support goal of $6,000! It's been a journey, but through 3 months of raising support, it is finally complete. Out of the 15 college students raising support for  Thailand, 11 have completed their $6,000 goal. This means that prayer is still a need among my team for the raising of support. 


As of two weeks ago, all visas have been approved and flights have been booked. The official date of our departure will be May 24th, 8:45am from Birmingham airport- 1 month and 1 day from today. Official arrival time is July 21st in Birmingham, AL. 


As I finish up with my busiest and most challenging semester yet, I want to let you all know how much of an encouragement you all have been to me. By God's grace, my trip would not be possible this summer without an amazing support team like I have. I would say you have done enough, but the impact you have made on this trip has just begun. Prayer is the one of the most powerful weapons we have as Christians to fight the battle of Satan and to impact the Lords Kingdom for eternity. I urge you to continue to pray for me, my team, the campus outreach team already at work in Khon Kean, and the lost we will engage this summer. The following are some specific requests:


1. For God to grow CCP students' hearts to be dependent on God and be strengthened by Him. 
2. For God to open doors and lead us to students in whom God is already at work. 
3. For physical, emotional and spiritual strength from God. It will be a draining and tiring summer. The weather, the conversations, the studies will be challenging and stretching. We will have to live supernaturally.


If you have some free time, the following message is an encouragement to all on the importance of prayer in missions. Love you team!
