April Travels

I will be busy the next couple of weeks and wanted to post a summary of where I will be and what I will be doing.

Easter Sunday I will be traveling with 30 of the youth from our church to spend a week at an orphanage in the north. We will be doing a camp for the kids, teaching job skills, and planting an orchard. I will be the chief Bible teacher for the camp. The orphanage is run by Christians, but many of the children do not know Christ. Please pray that God will use us to exemplify His love to the children. Pray for our safe travels and good health as well.

The following Sunday I will leave on another mission trip. I will be traveling with the group that I work with in the slums. We are going to northeast Thailand to do ministry at a partner church during the Songkran festival. This is the Thai New Year's national water fight that I wrote about last year.

So I am effectively going to be on the road from April 4th-April 15th. April 25th I will be preaching in the main service at Immanuel, and April 27th I am coming back to America.

Please pray that God keep me strong, focused, and faithful throughout a busy and hot month. Also, may you all have a wonderful week celebrating the death and resurrection of our Lord. Praise be to the Lamb of God. May our hearts sing along with the hosts of Heaven:


9And they sang a new song:
"You are worthy to take the scroll
and to open its seals,
because you were slain,
and with your blood you purchased men for God
from every tribe and language and people and nation.
10You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God,
and they will reign on the earth."

11Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels, numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand. They encircled the throne and the living creatures and the elders. 12In a loud voice they sang:
"Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain,
to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength
and honor and glory and praise!"

13Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, singing:
"To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb
be praise and honor and glory and power,
for ever and ever!
