Silence

I sat down with Rana and a local pastor in a supermarket restaurant as the sunset approached and the Ramadan fast broke. Rana is from Iran, and she is a university student. She was accepted to study in our country, but her husband and children were not allowed to join…

The Thirsty Prayer Warrior

I opened my eyes mid-prayer, causing my student Jei-ing to burst out laughing as I caught her sneaking toward her water bottle on the couch. She was thirsty and could not wait. Between giggles, she joked, “God told you, ‘Open your eyes, Jei-ing is getting up to get water!’” We…

A Package of Blessings

A few months ago, when I arrived at church, one of the church mothers approached me with a smile and told me a package was waiting for me in the office. As the principal, I naturally assumed it was something related to the church school. However, to my surprise, the…

Many Faces of Outreach

Missionary? English teacher? I never thought I would become either, yet that is exactly what the Lord has called me to do. Just as Jesus called humble fishermen and made them fishers of men, God has called my humble soul to do the same here. Since arriving, I experienced trial…

The Little Missionary

After 10 years of marriage, we decided it was time to expand our family. Thank God, Sol has had a wonderful and stable eight months of pregnancy, and very soon, Julián will join our family in person. When our dear local friends found out, they could not help but offer…

An Angel Between the Door and Me

On either side of the road stood a few houses on the mostly open fields, with small trees and bushes scattered here and there. Because it was Cambodia’s wet season, water and mud from recent rains filled the ditch at the sides of the road. The sun was strong that…

Countdown to Departure:  Short-Term Missionaries Reflect on a Season of Growth

Three months ago, the short-term and student missionaries (STMs and SMs) set a simple counter on their phones: 120 days until departure. Every week they watched the number drop while the school buzzed with year-end preparations. They pitched in everywhere; then, three weeks out, cleaned rooms, packed suitcases and chose…
