Thailand Journal 20 – Sept. 13

I’m 27,000 feet in the air crossing the Pacific on a 15-hour flight back to the USA. The entire journey since I left the University on Monday night, until I arrive home a little after midnight on Wednesday morning will be about 36 hours. The long hours of traveling are minor to the breadth of blessings we received, and gave during these almost three weeks. This year was one of those exceptional years. I love all the teams that have joined me on this Thailand adventure these almost 15 years. But there was a unity in purpose and mission that puts this group with those in the top percentile of my many mission trips. They went beyond the call of duty to reach out and touch and minister; to make long-lasting friendships; to truly demonstrate what true Christian mission is all about. They exemplified the wholistic ministry of Jesus as portrayed in the Gospels. And we had fun! Thanks guys!
