INDIA...here I come

Well folks, this is probably my last blog until I come home. There will be very few chances, if any, for me to access the internet while I'm in India. Thanks for following this far, I hope you've been blessed and encouraged by what you've seen and read. I'll be sure to blog about India after I'm back in the States...but until then, I'll be off the radar :) Thanks for your prayers as well. I spent much of the day preparing my teachings for the Worship Conference, and I now know more than ever, amongst many other great divine-appointments, that I have been undeniably sent by God to pour myself out at this conference. He has put messages in my heart, and I can't wait to share them with these awesome believers. Pray that I'd be confident to sow my seed, that it would land in the soil, take root, and that the Holy Spirit will water it long after I'm gone.

God Bless and thanks for journeying with my in prayer and in heart!

My extended family

I thought I'd post a few pics of the family I've been living with while I'm here...
(be sure to click on them for a closer view)


In this picture (starting on the right and moving left) is Issac, the younger of the Porter's sons. To his left is Seth, who was found on the street around the age of 14. The Porters took him in and adopted him after a couple of years. To his left is his fiance Gabby. She is from New Zealand and they'll be married in January. To her left is my main man Elijah. He is Issac's best friend from Korea and he's living with the Porter's while going to school here in Thailand.



Here's a pic of Phil and Cindy, seated on the right. Seated on the left is Dan and Bonnie Olson, who were part of the original home group that prayed off the Porters to Thailand 18 years ago! They have been praying for and supporting them since then and this was there first visit after all these years. They finally were getting a chance to see with their own eyes, the fruit of their relationship! Their daughter Lisa is seated just behind Phil and Cindy.



Here's a couple pics of Issac and Elijah. I've had a lot of fun with these guys! I have a LOT in common with them...they love soccer, video games, laughing, being sarcastic, and dancing to "Boom Boom Pow." An interesting note about the pic of Elijah below...Those sunglasses currently belong to my American roomate Jerrod, they are currently being worn by a crazy Korean, who is currently living in the country of Thailand...who 'da thunk?
