Southeast Asia: Day 18

Southeast Asia: Day 18
We continue to stand amazed at the incredible timing and purpose of Father. These two days have been filled with meetings in the mornings and afternoons with individual or pairs of students we've connected with over the past few weeks followed by larger group meetings in coffee shops in the evenings. Several of these connections came out of students we'd just met inviting their own friends to come hang out with us. Other connections resulted from random conversations with people in restaurants, one of whom turned out to be a Sister. She was surprised and incredibly encouraged when she found out that we were in the Family as well. No conversation or interaction is too short for Him to work in mighty ways. We've also made some connections with medical students and outgoing philanthropists that will be extremely useful the next time we are in this country.

Unfortunately, our time here is coming to an end and we only have a few meetings left.
Tomorrow, we are meeting with a Brother and Sister to strengthen our relationships and perhaps help connect them with a strong Family Group here.

Please pray that our energy levels would be just as high as on Day 1 and that we would persevere to continue Upward Focused conversations via social media once we leave this beautiful country. Please continue to pray for our fulltime Ms here, that they would be able to connect with those students with Upward Focused questions and that their Work here would be His and His alone. Lastly, please lift us up as we're making the long trek back to the States. We are humbled and blessed by your thoughts and prayers and we can't wait to share more stories and pictures with you all once we've arrived home.

In Him,

Southeast Asia Team
