Hear about a house church pastor I met in China and the impact he had on my heart.

Yesterday we met with a new partner church in Phayao (Thailand) to talk about start a ministry initiative for those living with a disability. Many of Pastor Matthew's church members are college students!

I see hope in the inspiring work of my friends with those living with a disability in Thailand!

I see hope in the way my friends minister to "bar girls" and their families in the city where we live.

Today I wanted to share the hope I found in the story of Joseph found in the book of Genesis in the Bible.

Several years ago, we were able to visit a friend in their hometown over Chinese New Year. We saw much evidence of hope during our time there!

In this episode, I reflect on a recent home visit conducted by our local team in a rural area of Northern Thailand. I was pleased to be present, and saw evidence that in spite of all the bad news, there is still good out there to be found.

In this episode, we see how God completing a work through the Israelites opened a door for God to do a work in the Israelites.

In this episode, we learn how Nehemiah made the courageous choice to challenge those who were exploiting the poor among their own people.

In this episode, we see how Nehemiah and the people Pray and Prevent, which prompts God to Protect.  This in turn inspires them to persevere.
