God lives in me.



When you realize that your “new life” invited Christ to live inside of you, you are accessing the impossible.

“On that day you will realize that I am in the father, and you are in me, and I am in you.” John 14:20 (NIV)

“Believe me: I am in my Father and my Father is in me. If you can’t believe that, believe what you see—these works. The person who trusts me will not only do what I’m doing but even greater things, because I, on my way to the Father, am giving you the same work to do that I’ve been doing. You can count on it. From now on, whatever you request along the lines of who I am and what I am doing, I’ll do it. That’s how the Father will be seen for who he is in the Son. I mean it. Whatever you request in this way, I’ll do.” John 14:11-14 (MESSAGE)

“I mean it.”

To realize that Christ really does mean “Whatever you ask, I’ll do,” is to assert the confidence of The Holy spirit inside of you. Even the disciples, who had been walking with Christ for some time, had to allow the Holy Spirit to lead them after Jesus went to be with the father. They had to realize that though they couldn’t see him any longer, He now lived inside of them.

And He lives inside of me. So my desires become His desires, and His desires are my desire. So when I ask for things in His name, it is done.

What is takes is both the realization and the reminder that He is living inside of me. The Father, the Son, and The Holy Spirit are at work inside of me. I can be about The Father’s business just like Jesus because through the Holy Spirit it has become plainly known to me. And in the Father’s business nothing is impossible. In the Father’s business there is still greater things to be done than the world has seen, because greater is The Father than anything in the world.

So ask today.

“Then Jesus said to them, “Suppose you have a friend, and you go to him at midnight and say, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread; a friend of mine on a journey has come to me, and I have no food to offer him.’  And suppose the one inside answers, ‘Don’t bother me. The door is already locked, and my children and I are in bed. I can’t get up and give you anything.’  I tell you, even though he will not get up and give you the bread because of friendship, yet because of your shameless audacity he will surely get up and give you as much as you need.” Luke 11:5-8

Access HE who lives inside of you today. Have “shameless audacity” to believe that He can do anything. And because He is inside of you, you can do anything, you can believe for anything, in the name of Jesus, you can be anything. You can go anywhere.

 “I have been crucified with Christ and “I” no longer live but Christ lives in me.”

And the life I live in Him is extraordinary. And in Him and through Him all things that seem impossible become possible.

My life for the gospel.



God is moving and molding all things for His glory. That is the best thing about the gospel is that in every season, God is still working. He is still victorious. There is darkness but He is light. He is the only light, the only good. That is why the gospel is all I have. With a tangible darkness throughout Cambodia, the gospel is all I have. And it is good, the only good.

 It is with great pleasure to announce that I will be staying in Cambodia until May. Until May my
time will be well spent carrying the good gospel to the crevasses of Cambodia.  I will continue to work with Cambodian Care and their vision for this country. I will be a part of the hope to integrate six programs into the poorest villages in Cambodia. These six things include: school, church plant, teen discipleship training, nutritional program, child support program, and a thriving business to create job opportunities as well as self revenue for the ministry. The vision for this project is to be active in two villages every six months. The prayer is to stretch to all corners of Cambodia, to share Jesus, with hopes to meet physical and spiritual needs of the people here. 

As one of the first to be a part of this program I will continue as a pioneer paving the way for other missionaries. I will also hold the role of an English teacher in more than one school. I will continue to be apart of the nutritional program and distribute food to villages every opportunity we get. On Sunday's I will serve as the "kids pastor" at the church plant in Toulpongroo. On Saturdays I will be pouring into teens as a part of the teen discipleship training.  And as an intern be available for whatever Cambodian Care needs. God is allowing me to see the gospel change people in Cambodia. 

Thank you thus far for your prayers and support. People have already been changed by the gospel. People have been eager to receive salvation. Students are enrolled in school, some for the very first time. I have seen the excitement of healing take place. I have seen joy restored in poverty-stricken households. I have seen God move and that is why the gospel is all I have. That even in the darkness, he is the good that is shining bright. Thanks you to all that have been apart of what He is doing here in and through me. 


You can continue to support what He is doing through prayer, financial support, or even send a missions team to Cambodia. 
 
To stay until May I would need to raise another $1500. You can contribute by going to the link below!

Also Check out cambodiancare.org and support a ministry that is impacting  many for the gospel. 

For the gospel.

Pursue Purpose.

We're here because of Jesus.

The beginning and the end. 
The first and the last. 
The one who died for your heart to mend. 

The lion and the lamb. 
The one who was crushed for our sins.
The one who is called The Great I am. 

Well I don't know about you, but I am here for Him.
The one who calls us Beautiful, 
his royal priesthood, His truest gem. 

We're here because His love is sustaining and does not waiver. 
He chose to die for our eternal life. 
That is why I believe in Him the one True savior. 

The son of God who mends and molds. 
The potter as we give ourselves are clay. 
He creates us to be worth more than the finest golds. 

The King seated victorious.
 The King of all kings. 
The only King whose presence is meritorious. Truly glorious. 

We're here because we are no longer bound,
No longer a victim of death.
It's a freedom so sweet I have found. 

Be reminded us of His deep deep love, 
The great commission that covers us. 
A message that this world should not be deprived of. 

Be here because of Jesus.
