Supplies Needed

Hello Friends,

So, I'm still fundraising and preparing for Thailand. It's getting closer every day and I am so excited. If you've been interested in helping me prepare for this trip but aren't able to help financially maybe you can help me out with some supplies! I have a list of things I need to get; maybe you have some of these items you're willing to help me out with.

  • Luggage- I have one suitcase and it's really small and not in great shape. I'm packing for 6 months of living so I'm need of some large luggage.
  • Books - I have a list of required reading and I need to obtain and read them is a semi short amount of time. If you have one of these books you would be willing to let me borrow that would be great!
    • When Helping Hurts by Steven Corbett & Brian Fikkert
    • Serving With Eyes Wide Open by David A. Livermore
    • Unearth: Exploring A Land With No Name by Christy Vidrine & Autumn Rogers
    • Buddhism In The Light of Christ by Esther Baker
    • Dreaming With God by Bill Johnson
  • Gift Cards - to pretty much anywhere. I have to purchase clothing, toiletries, notebeooks, etc for my trip so anything helps!

As of now that's my list of supplies I need, but I'm sure I'll think of more as the time gets closer. If you've traveled a lot and you have suggestions of things you think I'll need or want feel free to let me know. I'm always open for advice and anything to make the journey a little easier. Thank you all for your prayers and support!

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 ...

Seven Year Dream

     Just in case you missed it. I finished my month of training with ISM and I am now at my internship. I am so thankful for my amazing month with ISM. I was able to learn so much and grow with an amazing group of people. The likelihood of falling flat on my face without the help of ISM would be much greater than it is now that I was able to spend that time in training and transition. However, I am so happy to finally be at Nightlight working and serving. I serve in the office as an office assistant, but within that role I am blessed to be able to do a number of different things. I do some data entry, work sales, clean the showroom, give tours, attend outreach, I have the opportunity to teach English once a week for some of the women, and I help with whatever else needs to be done.      Some times working in an office or cleaning a room can seem mundane and pointless, but when I truly stop and think about the reality of where I am and what I'm doing I fin...

May Our Hearts Always Break

     Today I was giving a tour to a team that was visiting. We met and I told them about NL; how it was started and what we do and how we reach out to women. We're located in one Bangkok's many red light districts and usually after a tour the visiting team and I will walk to the offices. Often I hear teams express their shock at how out in the open and tolerated exploitation is in these areas. I watch their faces as we pass by various places and people in the middle of the afternoon on a week day. Things that should shock me, but I walk past them every day. Things that maybe they're being exposed to for the first time, but between my short time here and volunteering back in the states things I have known about or I have seen first hand multiple times. Does my heart really break the way it should? Have I become so used to the darkness around me that it doesn't phase me the way it used to?      I remember reading a blog post  from Love146  where th...
