Seek His Kingdom – unspoken prayer answered
Last night, I received an email from a staff at Hagar International. She’s from Canada as well. The first time I corresponded with her was last year in September. That’s six months ago. I was inquiring a visit to Hagar facility in Cambodia. I also emailed Place of Rescue to see if I can visit them. The […]
Hagar Aftercare for Girls
I watched this video this morning. And to think three weeks ago, I was in the same facility. I walked in the playground. Played with the same kids. Went through the classroom… The organization is called Hagar International.

Yesterday, I went back to class. I am taking a course on World Mission at McMaster Divinity College. The teacher was a missionary in Nairobi for a number of years. He shared with me the following… 95% who went on a short term mission and did nothing afterwards. 95% of long term missionaries went on a […]
Unusual
Thoughts from my trip in Asia… After going to Cambodia, I spent a few days at Singapore. While I was there, I had the privilige of meeting with Scott Hurd, the CIO of OMF (Overseas Missionary Fellowship). During lunch, I shared the experience I had at Cambodia.

Strangely Familiar
After three weeks of travelling across Asia: Cambodia, Singapore and Hong Kong… Three weeks of meeting new faces, old friends and families… Three weeks of visiting from the wealthiest cities to the poverty stricken nation… Three weeks with nothing but a backpack…(where customs kept asking me where’s my luggages)…. I am back home. It is […]
