when the Lights Went Out

I am reminded of the grace and mercy God has for my life. I am reminded that even when we do not realize it, He is there with us, watching over us, sending His angels to protect us and keep us safe. During my time at the Tai-Kadai Project, many…

Examining the Ancient Thoughts and Ways

In Northeast Thailand, conversations about death often include two deeply rooted spiritual ideas. One is ผี (phii), the spirit or ghost of the deceased. The other is ขวัญ (khwan), the life essence believed to remain connected to a person even after death. These beliefs shape funeral traditions, family relationships, and…

A Pink Flamingo

Since I was a child, I have always listened to stories of people traveling to different countries and becoming missionaries. The idea of becoming a missionary myself seemed idyllic, especially when I was younger. As the years went on and I continued to see people go and serve, I felt…
