In Thailand with new Friends

The pic above is a few of us Business as Mission students enjoying our first dinner together. I am quite impressed and astounded at the variety of backgrounds of the students attending this course from pastors who support their church by selling fish in Cameroon to retired commercial real estate brokers looking for their next move. Kyung-min the guy on left is trying to convince me to go to b-school with him in the Fall at Michigan. He just finished 4 years in the automotive industry.

I apologize for not sending an update sooner. While sitting in the airport in Bangkok, I learned that I was not accepted to Stanford business school, so now I have been scurrying to get apps out for other b-schools that have a strong social enterprise community. That's quite frustrating since it has taken away time to spend connecting with people as much as I want. Pray for grace on that.

Also I want to say Thank You to my financial and prayer supporters for helping me get here. So far I've raised $1,025 for this course. Thank you!. I still have about $3975 to go. If you would like to contribute more:

For accounting purposes, put 'Thailand' in the memo, not my name.

Updated Prayer Request: Pray for clear communication. Apparently one of the gods worshipped here is a god of communication and the staff have noticed that since they've been here they have experienced major miscommunications.

I look forward to sharing how God is using this time here in Thailand to make me more useful for Him in the marketplace. Off to lunch!

Bethel is even cooler than expected

Within 90 minutes of landing in Redding, I learned of Bethel students engaged in business solutions to extreme poverty. Monday I heard a powerful teaching from Bill Johnson on how life on Earth offers us the only chance to worship God in the midst of our pain, suffering, loss, and confusion.  When we are in heaven we won't have the chance to give God that gift.  Bill's teaching reaffirmed this ongoing theme that suffering matters.  Suffering creeps me out but I can not deny that suffering somehow leads to intimacy with Christ. Monday night gave me a few a hours to meet a great house church where blue collar types mingled with Bethel alum. Prophecy and healing flowed amidst their faith and love.  God gave me a chance to pray for healing for one of the guys. This tested my faith when his knee actually got a little worse in the first couple of minutes of prayer. That hurt my pride.  Fortunately during the second bout of prayer his knee healed completely.  V...
