Here!

I am surrounded here in Northern Thailand by complete and utter darkness. Satan definitely has a stronghold over this place. Today we visited a family just in time to experience something quite unusual. A woman was doing a special dance that called the spirits to enter her body. The spirit was that of a young boy; hence, she acted like one. It was very odd indeed. These people are not only under the influence of Buddhism, but also Animism. Tomorrow we will move into a various homes and begin building relationships with these wonderful people. Despite their mistakes and traditions, God still loves them. They need to here about Jesus. They are longing for a relationship with their Creator! They just don't know where to look to fill that longing. Please pray that we can be a light in this darkness. Jess, the creator of Nehemiah Teams (the summer missions project that I am involved with) also says, "Wherever I go, the King goes. Wherever the King goes, His kingdom comes. Wherever His kingdom comes, the powers to be must submit." I must be comforted by the fact that though I am surrounded by darkness, Jesus is with me!!! He will never leave or forsake me. Please keep our team in your prayers!
