    LorisStoriesAugust/September2009 AsianTourI have just finished what was an incredible summer. I

    was looking back over what I wrote in my last

    newsletter about how every time I go to Asia it is such

    a fruitful time and a time of immense growth for me as

    a leader. This time was no different! The Lord

    rocked my world with my team, in my relationship

    with Him and the plans that He has for my future.

    While in Asia we were able to minister in so many

    different ways, but a highlight for me was when we

    went to a Taiwanese hospital, I was able to share my

    faith openly and was reminded of the PASSION I have

    for evangelism and sharing Christ with those who

    dont know Him. While in the hospital I met a woman

    named Pamela. She was a Buddhist who was so

    unhappy, depressed and lonely. She was there to get

    more medication for her depression. I was able to talk

    with her for a long time and she opened up to me

    about her life. She had a Christian friend who would

    share Jesus with her & pray for her. I asked her if I

    could pray for her that the joy she had lost would

    return to her. She said yes. So I began to pray, as I

    was praying she started to cry she hadnt cried in

    years and forgot what it felt like to cry. I looked at her

    and asked if she wanted to receive Jesus as her

    Saviour?! She said yes. I had the opportunity to lead

    her in a prayer of salvation and experience the

    presence of God like I never had before. There was an

    instant transformation in her right before my eyes! It

    was an amazing testimony to the power of God!

    Thoughtsonlife...While in Taiwan this summer the Lord pressed on my

    heart through a series of events and promptings to return

    to the base in Taiwan in March to do what is called an

    SBS a School of Biblical Studies. It is a 9 month long

    course where I will learn an inductive method of studying

    the bible along with gaining deeper perspective on the

    Word of God. This will also help me towards a future of

    teaching, which I believe I am being called in to. I will

    remain on staff in Orlando in hopes of returning there

    once my schooling in Taiwan is complete. More to come

    on this, please keep me in your prayers regarding this

    upcoming change in my life.
