I arrived in thailand at 3:30 in the morning yesterday after about 30 hours of traveling time! my first time being in a foreign country besides australia and I am in culture shock! this city of bangkok is unbelievable! everything about it is so different and i love it.
i already have such a heart for these peope. this country. yesterday as we were walking around bangkok in the markets we saw this beggar lady so we bought her a shake and gave it to her and the smile on her face was priceless. that is what i wanna live for. serving god. serving others. myself last. i just wanna love those who don't know what love is. speak for those who don't have a voice. God is changing me continously and showing me things in a new light.
today we toured four different buddhist temples. these temples are unbelievable. as i watched hundreds and hundreds of people bowing down to these false gods i started crying. what kind of fullfillment or satisfaction is there in that? but god began to speak to me and tell me that this is a way of life for people that has been passed down from generation to generation. they dont know any different. they are scared to jump into something new. there was such a demonic spirit of darkness over these temples. i can even feel it in the air. thailand is 95% buddhist and 1% muslim. can you believe it? my prayer is that God's presence would be stronger than any other demonic presence in this country. may I be a walking testimony of Christ and the Holy Spirit dwell inside of me. please pray for the oppressed people of thailand. may there eyes and ears be open to God's presence.
there is so much to say right now but i am running out of time. i'll write more the next time.
i love you and miss you all!
