And Back Again.
Well we finally made it back from the Asia/Pacific Area Retreat! We had a wonderful time getting to know the different MTW families, and it was a joy to work with all the volunteers and teammates that make these trips possible. It was AMAZING!
Over the next few days we will fill in with more specific information about what we did there and how it all went over, but for now I'll just toss up a few pictures to give a small taste of the adventures we had.

It was an awesome trip, and we have been extremely encouraged by the relationships we built and the responses we received from the families we worked with. Thanks so much for all your prayers during these last two weeks - we are very much aware that though Linds and I are able to be the ones on the ground, the work that is being done is an extension of your love for these students as well. Thanks again for keeping up with us and supporting us in this ministry!

Hey! Great to hear you guys had a great trip! I can't remember, but are you guys planning on going to Malaysia full time then?
ReplyDeleteI actually visited Malaysia in 2009 as a vision trip to meet the CrossWorld team in the north--on the Island of Penang (close to Thailand). I chose not to go there, of course, but it was an amazing trip and I am so glad I had the opportunity to go!
Looking forward to staying in touch with you guys!
