I'm Selling Shirts

I'm now selling shirts as a way to raise money for my trip. These super cool shirts were designed by me and only available through March 23 so make sure and get yours ASAP. If you like them enough to order one talk your friends into purchasing one too. There has to be an order of at least 5 in order for them to be printed so make sure and spread the word. This is a fantastic way to support missions! Check out the shirts and order a shirt for everyone you know!

Face To Face With Heroes Of The Faith

Hi Everyone! Can you believe I've been in Thailand almost three weeks? It's been an amazing time or learning and adjusting so far. I am enjoying the immersion in a totally new culture. Being able to experience a new language, food, and practices is stretching and challenging at time and other times it's exciting and fun; often it's a mixture of all four. Even though they don't have a whole lot with this post I'm throwing in random pictures just so you can see what I've been up to with your own eyes. There are six of us going through a month of training at Impact School of Missions in preparation for various internships across South East Asia. We have classes and training up until the end of the month; in October we all officially move on to our internships! Our month at ISM consists of classes involving classes on the culture, language, effective ways to minister and serve, culture shock/stress, learning about ourselves, and many more. We explore ...

The Lost Cause Part

The name of my blog is Thailand and Other Lost Causes, that probably seems like a strange name to give this blog. Why would you call something you're passionate about, something you want to spend the rest of your life doing, something you want others to support you in a lost cause? It makes no sense...it seems counter productive, it's not I promise. The idea for the name came from this blog post that I wrote almost three years ago while I was an undergrad intern at Honor Academy of The Ozarks. That post was inspired by one of my favorite quotes of all time, "It's very often that the lost causes are the only causes worth fighting for." - Jimmy Stewart These words are spoken in the fantastic movie Mr.Smith Goes To Washington by a man by the name of Mr.Smith ( Jimmy Stewart ) who is in Washington D.C. fighting what seems like a losing battle for something he believes in, something he knows is ...

Facing Fear

Fear...fear is something we all face at some time or another. It can be small or it can be crippling. Some may face it every once in a great while and others face it every day of their lives. Fear can be brought on by accidents, people, wars, disease, governments, media consumption, and by simply being alive. I would venture to say that fear is interwoven into the fall of man, therefore it is interwoven into being human. However, to say that it's interwoven into the human experience doesn't mean that it should be; I truly believe that when God created humanity he never intended for us to be fearful creatures, in fact time and time again the Bible tells us not to fear. This is something that we did to ourselves. The second Adam and Eve messed up and everything came crashing down around them fear entered the picture and it came to stay. Fear doesn't affect and interact with everyone the same way. Some people merely brush up against it...
