31st January

I'm a bit lonely today! It's midnight as I write this, and I am thinking of Sawang. He is away on a ministry trip to Cambodia. They are having their second annual Victory conference in Cambodia this week, which is amazing, considering 3 years ago there was no Victory churches in Cambodia. Sawang is filming for our missions TV show that airs in Canada, or you can download the free podcasts on the continuum site, below. Anyhow, he's gone, as is my brother-in-law, so Sawang's sister and me have been hanging out here and missing our husbands!

We are also gearing up for several more trips coming right up, and we are also beginning to prepare for our "7 Weeks in Asia" short-term missions trip in the summer. Anyone that wants to go on this trip can apply, watch our website at www.continuummedia.com for more details and to download the form!

Countdown to UK: 3 months; Countdown to Canada: 4 months

I've uploaded a photo Sawang created for someone, I think it's great and wanted to share it with you!

24 January 2008

Sawang and I are starting a whole new season in ministry. It's funny, because we really have 2 new "seasons" in a year; one in January, one in September. God always speaks to us about direction, about the ministry, and about what we need to do to prepare for the next move of God.

In this next few months there are several ministry trips coming up; we want to use wisdom in which ones we go on. We are also standing in faith for tickets to go back to UK to connect with our supporters and churches, and we also need to get to Canada so my family can meet Sawang for the first time!

In light of those two immediate needs, we know we cannot go on all the trips, although we need to go on a couple because we are needed; also that is why we work in this ministry! We are called to minister God's Word to the nations of Asia!

Faith is a good thing to have; it gets for us the things God promises in His Word! What an exciting way to live life!

check out www.continuummedia.com to view the ministry's website, you can also download episodes of Continuum TV, a missions program about what God is doing in the nations of Asia!

you can also contact us at gottawearshades@hotmail.com if you want to partner with Sawang and I for the ministry, or just to drop us a line and tell us how you are!

HAPPY 2008!!

As 2007 has come and gone, Sawang and I have seen many changes in our lives. The biggest, of course, is our wedding in September, followed by house and roommates and ministry and lots of new beginnings. But in 2008 we believe we will see the biggest breakthroughs yet. The bible says we will prosper as our souls prosper. How do our souls prosper? When we receive what we need from the Word of God and the presence of the Holy Spirit.

Sawang has been a great friend, and an even greater example of the love of God in my life. I praise God every day that I have him.
