Happy Fall Y’all!
How is it October already? Thanksgiving and Christmas are just around the corner. Before I get too ahead of myself, I want to share with you what has happened the last couple of months.
In August I got to travel to San Diego to share at Faith Chapel church. They have been supporting me for about a decade now. It was so good to get to update them on what is happening in Thailand because of their support. Of course I always enjoy the conversations at my table after the service. The Pentecostal handshakes aren’t so bad either ;)
My 5 yr old niece wanted to tag along with me. She told her mom that she wants to be a missionary one day. That’d be awesome! On our way down to SD we stopped by downtown Disney for lunch and dessert.
In September I did a church service in Barstow, CA. This church has also been supporting me for nearly a decade. I’m so humbled by the faithfulness of my supporters. Most churches give me 3-5 mins to share, but this church gave me the whole service. God hasn’t gifted me with public speaking skills lol but He is gracious to use me. God is setting a foundation to build his church in Barstow. Be ready!
After the church service I drove down to Santa Monica. I used a reward night to stay there and spent Monday at the beach. I needed a mental health day and the beach was a perfect place for that. I walked from the Santa Monica pier to Venice beach and back. One of my favorite things to do! One thing that kept going through my mind was, “God really did tell the ocean how far it can go.” I was so in awe of God the whole day.
If any of you are familiar with skateboarding, I saw Eric Koston! He was literally a couple feet in front me. I’ve always had a draw to skating. I sat and watched some guys filming tricks on the basketball court. Then all the sudden Eric Koston rolled up. So fun!!
Later in the month my sister and her husband went to HI for their anniversary. My mom, another sister, and I are watching the kids. She left us money to take them to Disneyland! The kids haven’t been in years. It was so fun to see them have fun! I ran into Mary Poppins while we were there. I had to show her my tattoo. It was a little embarrassing but mostly funny!
Let’s pray for each other!
I did this a few years ago and stopped along the way. Sorry about that. I’d really like to do it again. It keeps me connected with you and you with me. It also lets me know that I’m covered in prayer everyday.
Here’s how it works. You pick the day of the month. Then you and I will pray for each other that day every month. A seemingly simple thing but it is very powerful!
James 5:16 says, “Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is very powerful in its effect.”

Prayer requests and praise reports.
You might remember the elderly lady that fell a while back. While I was in Thailand we took her an audio bible in her native language. Her eyes lit up as she listened to the songs and stories. She later fell and was in the hospital for a few months. She recently passed away. I’m not sure if she got saved or not, but because of the love and care from the Christians at the community center, her niece got saved!! We have been loving on this family for two years. The niece is experiencing a lot of pressure and opposition from the people in the village now that she is a Christian. Please pray for her to have a strong, bold faith in Jesus.
One of my students has been experiencing abuse at home and at the temple. He moved in with one of our Thai staff that is a Christian. The young teen is being bullied and criticized by his peers and teachers at school for not living with his family. So, myself and the other staff are going to sponsor him to go to a Thai Christian school. There he can grow in his faith and learn in a safe environment. Pray for him to become a man of valor. A man of influence in his community.
I thank God for your continued support that allows me to bless and serve the spiritually impoverished in Thailand. By meeting their physical needs their hearts are open to us meeting their spiritual needs. You help make that happen. Thank you!!
Coming up…
This month is going to be crazy busy! I will be going to AZ for my niece’s quincenera. Not sure how she’s 15 already. She was just 2 not that long ago. While I’m in AZ I will be meeting with the missions pastor at my childhood church. They’ve been supporting me for a long time. I’ll update them on all the happenings in Thailand. I will be speaking at a missions conference in Alhambra, CA. I’ll be traveling to NV. And a few other things. Please be praying for me!
I will be dropping some new merch soon! A limited supply. I will be posting it on my instagram so be sure to follow me.
Thank you for all you do to partner with me in bringing the Good News to Thailand!
