| Dear Friends and Supporters,
I hope this letter finds you well and that the past few months have been
good to you! After an August of packing up my things and saying goodbyes to my
friends and co-workers in Mongolia,
I finally left Mongolia
for Hawaii
on 8/23. Though it was
sad to say good bye, I am also excited to be back! It has been a
refreshing past few weeks as I spent time resting, reflecting, and
being with my
family and friends.
As I look back on my time in Mongolia,
there are so many thoughts, so many lessons, and so many things
experienced. Though my time in Mongolia
hasn't always been easy, your prayers and support for me have been such a great
source of blessing and strength! Thank you for all of your faithful support and
prayers these past two and a half years!
FCS
The end of the summer also marked the end of my official commitments to
Mongolia's FCS
college ministry and teaching at Ulaanbaatar
University. Over the past two and a
half years, we have seen many students hear the gospel and
given their lives in following Jesus. This summer we completed our fourth GrX
English summer camp. Though I usually help support the work of FCS-2, this year
we worked with about 30 students from one of the other FCS chapters. It
was a busy but very good two weeks as we built relationships with the students
and shared God's love. The highlight of the camp was on the
last night where we went on an overnight camping trip and had a campfire. It was an awesome time as the students shared
their camp experiences and the incredible love of Jesus that they experienced
through the camp and the FCS community. As the new semester begins, four of the
new students from the camp have came back and signed up for Bible studies to learn more about Jesus and Christianity!
Praise the Lord!
Ulaanbaatar University
In June, I was both sad and happy to see another group of my students graduate.
However, after graduation, I was able to go on a camping trip with them for a
couple of days in the countryside. It was good time for me to just hang out with
my students, have fun, and share our memories from these past couple of years.
Though some of my students were often quiet and reserved, I was glad that in
this environment, I was able to have some deeper conversations with them about their
life, their future, and share with them one last time the Good News of Jesus.
As my time at UB University ends, the Lord has also provided others in
continuing the ministry to the teachers and students at our school. One of the people
that God has provided is Eva, who is a missionary from Hong Kong. She also has a heart for reaching
Mongolian college students and this past semester, we co-lead an English Bible
study for students from our school. I have also been mentoring her this past
semester in teaching classes and working with the college students and teachers.
She has such a passion for talking about the Bible and spiritual things and I
am so thankful for God's continued provision.
What's Next…
After soaking in the warm Hawaiian sun, I will be coming to
California on 9/19 and spending a
couple of weeks in the Bay Area and Los Angeles. I am planning to
use this time to continue to rest physically and in reflection and debrief of my
experiences in Mongolia.
I am also looking forward to meeting, reconnecting, and spending time
with friends
and supporters. I am hoping to be renewed and refreshed spiritually as
well as physically, and to encourage and be encouraged through my
interactions. Though I don’t know what exactly God will lead me to do
next, I
am hoping this time of reflection and spiritual refreshment will help
me to
better hear and discern His leading.
I hope all is well with you! If you are around, please let me know. I would love to hear how you are doing
and meet up with as many of you as I possibly can. Currently, I have no home address. However,
if you would like to reach me by phone, you can call me at: (408) 667-0865
God bless and I look forward to hearing from you!
