Continue to pray

I can’t say enough about the work the Lord did through these guys this summer. These guys didn’t just come to play with kids and have a neat cultural experience. Presence doesn’t equal proclamation. These guys came to help fulfill the Great Commission by sharing the good news. They shared the good news in places we had never been with people who had never heard. 

Two of the guys they played soccer with professed faith in Jesus, and we have begun to disciple them. 

Continue to pray for this place. 
Pray that the seeds sown would not be sucked out by the world.
Pray God raises up national leaders in this area. 
Finally, pray for these young men as they go back to the states.

Enjoying the country

This week has been SO amazing, but it has also been exhausting! The heat is different here than in the city! We have decided we love the “country” side of Thailand a lot better than the “big city” of Bangkok! We are thankful that the Lord has allowed us to see so much more of Thailand than we thought we were going to. We have been able to meet so many students and teachers. We miss our students back in Bangkok but are incredibly thankful for the connections the center here is making with the schools and the relationships we have formed here this week!!
Please continue to pray for us as we finish this summer strong.

Look What God Can Do.... through Alex too!

3 summers ago, I embarked on a journey to Bulawayo, Zimbabwe for my first summer missions trip where I was given this little book to read for the first time. Who knew something so small could make such a difference in my life?! 

It is crazy to think how vastly different my life is now. I have gone through a lot these past 3 years: moving states twice, transferring universities, 2 summer missions terms, a summer youth internship, losing my grandmother, moving countries for a season, meeting so many new and beautiful people, making amazing friends, losing some friends along the way, traveling to my 6th continent, and following Jesus to the best of my ability. Each of these hold both good and bad memories. Through all the change, the loss, the gain, the failures, and the triumphs, I did not always know how to handle it all, nor did I always execute it all gracefully. But through reading this book and the constant scripture referenced throughout it, I was able to read about God’s Word coming to life in the lives of past and present warriors of my faith. 

I read about ordinary people like William Carey, a shoe cobbler, being unsettled about the reality of lostness and dedicated to his part in doing something about it. 

I read about Lottie Moon, a very small, seemingly insignificant woman, creating a new definition for the word “servanthood” and who Southern Baptist name our annual Lottie Moon Christmas Offering after. 

I read about Jim Elliot, a young man with a young family, who’s bravery and faith let to martyrdom and influenced hundreds, maybe even thousands, to follow Jesus’ command to complete the great commission. 

I’ve read this tiny book too many times to count. Each time I read it, it becomes more and more evident that this book was written about people who were ordinary, simply human, and sinful- much like myself! And yet, look what God can do! They had complete faith to trust God and follow Him to wherever He may lead. They had weaknesses just like the rest of us. As the Bible says, His power is made perfect in weakness. To me, this is life-changing! This is such good news! 

He knows we are going to fail sometimes. He knows our deepest hurts, thoughts, desires, sorrows, joys, and failures and He uses all of it for His glory and for the nations to be drawn to Himself. Right now for me, as much as I want to succeed at everything, I’m sure I will fail many, many more times. But, His power is made perfect in my weaknesses. The craziest thing is, more change is coming! I literally have no clue what the next chapter of my life will hold, and that’s okay. God knows. And if there’s anything I learned from reading about all those amazing Missionaries, it’s that when we follow Christ, life will be worth while. God used a William, a Lottie, and a Jim. He can use an Alex too.

Taytay sa kaayohan (Bridge to Healing)

After our early morning boat ride from the island to the mainland we arrived at the port city where we would board the large ship that would take us to our next island destination. The city looked different from before even though we had been in this same spot just a week earlier. The sun was starting to light the sky and neither of us had a clear idea of what day it was. 

Our Journeyman term has been filled with different seasons of mobilizing Filipinos to be World Christians and to lead this generation to finish the Great Commission, but this summer we have served as traveling supervisors for several American Nehemiah Teams here in the Philippines. As Traveling Supervisors, our main purpose is to visit the teams and make sure that they are doing their discipleship materials as well as functioning well as a team; however as we travel around to teams our favorite part is joining them in ministry for the few days we are there. We have been exposed to the deep darkness and lostness that penetrates this country from the muddy mountains to the small island fishing communities that the teams are serving in. This last week, our traveling took us to an island that is known to be the birthplace of the Catholic stronghold that so deeply entangles people and leads them away from the true gospel of grace. 
After our overnight boat ride, we then had a three hour bus ride, and an hour motorcycle ride through the mountains ahead of us before reaching the team. Once we finally arrived we were excited to see that they were in an area that no team has ever been to before and we learned that the people were eager to hear the gospel. We did a film showing in a neighboring village that was a modern day “5 loaves and 2 fish” scenario. The waiting shed we planned to show the movie in was not big enough to support the crowd that had gathered so someone suggested that we could move to the local catholic chapel and then suddenly a man offered to bring his TV so we could play the movie on it instead of the projector. Our group quickly set out and as the men and women walked up the hill, umbrellas lined the road and we grew excited to see how eager the people were to watch the film about Jesus. The showing went well and the guys on the team followed up with a very clear presentation of the gospel and an invitation to learn more about how we can receive the gift of salvation. 

Later that evening, we visited a house in the area to do Bible Study. The father had asked that we come after dinner so that he could invite the rest of his family and friends. When we arrived we were shocked to see how many men and women had gathered to study the word of God. We began with the story of Lazarus and the rich man and talked about the urgency of eternity and how all people will spend eternity in either heaven or hell and cannot switch back and forth. 

We continued with the passage from Ephesians 2 and talked about being spiritually dead or spiritually alive in Christ. All of the men and women there were very attentive and asked lots of questions about how someone who was dead could be made alive! Throughout the study we took turns reading the passages and quite unexpectedly one of the daughters said that that was the first time anyone had come to read the Bible with them. Before we left, the guys asked if we could pray for the family and Tatay (the father of the family) mentioned the family’s health and work. But then he simply added not knowing the truth in his statement, “tingali taytay sa kaayohan kamo” which translates to “maybe you all are the bridge to healing”. Although he was referring to physical healing our prayer was that the team would truly be a bridge to spiritual healing for this community. 

For some reason the Lord has sovereignly chosen to use us to be the messengers of the gospel. We must be the bridge for people to hear the only message that can bring true healing. If not us, who will?

Team of the Day: Seed Sower

Location: Indonesia
Team size: 2

Job description: Hub City is home to over 2000 refugees from the Middle East. A national partner started a church & it's been amazing to see the Lord draw these Muslim background followers of Jesus to Himself. The team will serve through an English Summer Camp as a trial to see if a school for refugee children is a possibility. Help recruit refugees to the new camp, planning lessons & activities, helping teach children of all ages English 2-3 days a week with the possibility of weekly adult classes. Primary purpose of the English classes are to build relationships AND share the Gospel with the families that come.

They can change the world!

There is a massive amount of poverty among the people we are serving. At first, it was easy to overlook. The business of the birthing room paired with the fact we rarely see our patients outside of the clinic makes it easy just to care for mom and baby and move on to the next patient. Gradually though, God began to reveal to me how incredibly unique He makes each person. 

Every mom and baby comes from a different background. God has designed each child amazingly unique. No one has ever entered this world, and no one is going to come after that's going to impact it exactly like this child. 

As this idea began to take root in my heart, I began to genuinely love the women and babies that we're serving here at the Maternity Center (before, while I cared, it seemed shallow in comparison). I feel sincerely blessed to witness and assist with births. I get to be the first person to see these new little people that God has so intricately designed! 

As this love grows, my desire to pray with and for these women and to share the Gospel with them grows as well. I desperately want them to know the God that loves them and values them beyond anything that they have ever known. I want them to see that they are valued in not only the ways that I serve them during a routine prenatal or postpartum exam, but also in my willingness to pray for them and share with them how much they are loved by Jesus.

Team of the Day: Stand in the Gap

Location: Philippines
Team size: 2

Job description: Over the last 40 years the Philippines has been a tremendous harvest field. This mission field is becoming a "mission force." Partner with a national supervisor to help finish taking the Gospel to the unreached & hard to reach. No IMB missionary is assigned to these places. Your team will help fill a gap where more harvesters are needed. Spend half the summer in the northwestern part of Mindanao going to small towns & rural villages. Many of these still don't have an evangelical church. The 2nd half of the summer will be spent on the island of Siquijor, known to be controlled by Satan through witchcraft.

Refreshed & Ready to finish!

Two of our teams got to take their mid summer break together! 
Pray as they travel today (Thursday) to new areas of ministry for the rest of the summer.
Pray for open hearts as they share the Good News in some hard places.

Emptiness of their Actions

One of the things we do consistently is host an English Camp every Tuesday at the church for the refugees here in the city. This camp is an opportunity for the children and parents to practice English, but more than that it allows the believing refugees to reach out to their neighbors and have more intentional relationships. While Paige and I are working with the kids, our supervisors are able to have conversation with the parents. This has led to friendships that continue outside of camp with the hopes of sharing the Good News. 

Since being here, we have been able to see how the people live their lives: in the city, in the village, and some of the refugees. We have seen and experienced the darkness & lostness around us in a way that neither of us have experienced before. I had the opportunity to share my testimony with a girl about my age while at one of the local mosques. When I told her that salvation is a free gift from the Father and that she did not have to work for it, she seemed as though she couldn’t understand how that was so. The concept of salvation by grace through faith is so foreign to these people.

Paige recalled: “It is just seeing how people live and what they spend their time on. They put so much energy and time into things that  have no eternal value, like going to mosques. But they don’t realize the emptiness of their actions...”

It has been amazing and challenging being here. The Father is teaching us so much. We pray that He will open the hearts of the people here and that His Spirit will move.

Part of the family

As of today (July 7), we have 24 days left in Thailand. One week will be spent in southern Thailand, and three days of it will be in northern Thailand. This being said, I only have one week of classes left teaching here in BKK! This seems very overwhelming, yet really excited to see how the Lord is going to work through us in our time remaining here.
He has already shown us so much from putting students in our path that we can form friendships with to showing us the city life is for us. To placing us here in BKK with great people who love the Lord and their families yet are choosing to live here intentionally. These families are individually amazing because despite their own sin struggles or difficulties with family members and raising kids they CHOOSE to live here among the Thai people so a great need of people knowing English will be filled while also telling them who the Savior-King is. I have such high respect for each couple here. They have truly treated us like family- even cooked for us on the 4th of July so we would feel a little more at home. Countless times they have given us rides places and sitting in the back hearing the chatter among the kids and the parents makes me feel apart of the family.
Lord, Thank you for designing the body of Christ in the way that when we aren’t physically with our loved ones back home we still feel part of a family because of the blood of Christ. 🙏🏻❤️🙌🏼🇹🇭
Pray for us today as we are able to further connect with students! 
Please continue to pray for the missionaries here and for perseverance.

Team of the Day: Whatever it Takes for Cambodia

Location: Cambodia
Team size: 3

Job description: Teach English to elementary & high school students, tutor or teach music, training other teachers in children's ministry, teach art, play soccer or other sports. All of these will give you an entry point to build relationships and open doors to share the Gospel.

Beautiful Feet

We've finished our first few weeks of ministry and are absolutely in love with this people & these people. Our aim is to focus on house to house evangelism & Bible studies... with the goal of seeing every household turn to Christ, training them to be reproducible disciple, passionate for the Lord and for growing His church.

We have already entered & shared the Gospel with every home, held multiple Bible studies and have seen 3 people give their lives to Christ. We will continue to disciple them & help them grow in the grace & knowledge of Christ. The bondage here is great, but the power of God is greater still. We will stop at nothing as we proclaim His name.

We consider every challenge a blessing & every obstacle an opportunity to grow. Some challenges are funny... for 3 days straight it had been raining relentlessly. We would have to hike up the mountain, shin-deep in mud to get to the area where we were visiting homes. And on the return trip... we would end up sliding back down the hill. We don't even recognize our own feet at this point... they are so constantly caked in mud.

Through it all we press on with job, knowing that these people's eternities are at stake... and the salvation of their souls is worth it.

Until all have heard,
Tropical Harvesters,

As the team will be transferring to a new location, pray for the those who will be following up in the original location. Pray for the growth of those who have already made decisions to follow Christ... pray for a harvest in the lives of those who have heard the Good News and have yet to respond to Christ's free gift.

Continue to Pray


Hello from Southeast Asia! We are having an amazing time. We have spoken at two house churches, one church service, and have prayer walked all over the city. It is such an eerie thing to hear the Islamic call to prayer as we are worshiping the One True King, but it reminds us to pray for those who do not yet know Him. 

One Sunday, we drove to a remote village and walked around, praying for the people there. One girl asked to share a story, but our local partner told her they are not yet ready to hear it. So we continue to pray. Recently, we went to different houses, praying for the sick and for those not yet Following, and continue to pray for these people. Also, we had the opportunity to share our stories on the local radio, and are excited to see how He moves through that!

Let the Little Children Come... without bugs

Our team is spending the summer on Dinagat Island in the southern Philippines. Currently, our home is an unused pregnancy clinic... I say "currently" because there are several pregnant women here that look like they won't be pregnant for much longer!

This past Sunday we went to a small Baptist church. My team mate Christian spoke about how we should let the little children come as Jesus did. Later that night, a gang of little children ran into our rooms, trying to scare us with a huge beetle they had found. Christian told our national team mate/translator, "Rafael... tell them to get out! Tell them they better not let that thing loose!"

Rafael responded, "Didn't you just say, 'Let the little children come?'"  We've been joking about that ever since.
