Bring Me That Horizon II

August seems so far away. There’s a thin blanket of snow on the ground and we’re keeping busy working and going to school. Our church has agreed to support us, we’re preparing for our survey trip in July, we’re starting to learn the language, we’re putting together our growing list of financial supporters and prayer warriors, we’re looking at our budget and how much we need to raise before we can go…

Wow. August seems so close. 

We’ve been Skype-ing with a team in Thailand that we hope to join. They are doing some amazing things through the Holy Spirit, and have some great plans for the next phase. There is a huge need in the city we’re looking to be in; very few churches, very few missionaries, and lots of poverty and need. Many families enlist their children in the human trafficking trade, in order to make enough money for the rest of the family to survive. The Isaan region of Thailand is the poorest in the country. Many of the people are not native Thai’s, having come from Laos or Cambodia, so they are considered second class citizens at best. Every day our hearts break more for the people of Thailand.

August seems so far away.

We know that God is moving us in this direction; there is no question at all of that. And we know that God will get us there in exactly the time frame that he wants us there. And we know that God is going to provide us the people to make that happen, at just the time that we need them. All we can do is wait, and prepare, and continue to look toward and long for that horizon.
August.
