Making A Big Difference

You never realize your dreams really can come true. Putting them in the hands of God was one of the hardest thing I had ever done. From the skyline of Vancouver, Canada then the the our BIG little area of Tri-Cities in Washington State to the view of the lines of sky that I have been blessed to see in the last 4 years serving to extend the Kingdom full-time, I am constantly humbled that the Lord is blessing me with the opportunity to take flight again and again. The first big trip, after fishing in a successful, in wordly terms, career job for 13 years and still missing "it" , The Lord kept saying, "Come, I will show you how to fish..." It took me 3 years to obey. And in 2004 I quit my 6 figure job to go to follow that command. As we are called to go "... in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."

We teach there every week, usaully 2 classsrooms unless there is a random holiday or assembly planned right in the middle of the day that I usually find out about when I arrive (and this happens often!). This is in one of the communities that our team, at ARK International, and I get a chance to work with each week. It was organized chaos. No, in fact, there was so little organization I would heave to say, " chaotic chaos ." In the middle of the lesson 1/2 the class got up and walked out. With very limited Thai explanation...I was dumbfounded. I got another assistant teacher (after the fact) involved in the crisis, and she told them a thin
