Moving Forward, Going Back

On a side note. I really wanted to integrate more direct journaling during my time. But I found that while I was in Asia, God was working with me very personally and inwardly, and in such a way that it was difficult to express what I was going thru, especially in a blog. Standing on California soil, I find He has healed my brokenness in a way that only he could. I am made new and ready to share with you more on this journey!

Dear Friend

*** letter to supporters***

There’s something I have learned here in Asia. God doesn’t change. The same God we worship in California is the same in Asia or anywhere else. While our contexts and circumstances change from place to place, following Jesus, we are all called to reach for His principles and priorities in our lives. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever.

Spending the last seven months in Asia, I am convinced that His indomitable will is for His name to be spread to all nations and people groups- whether it is in Long Beach, Corona, Riverside, Orange County or in a remote village in Asia.

Today, if you could see my heart you’d see its shape is Asia. I leave this side of the world with more work left to be done- more stories to be written- more Bibles to be delivered and more people to be reached. It’s a New World we live in and I have found the possibilities for connecting believers in the West and East are endless. Coming to the States, my desire is to continue serving the church community. If God is willing to send me back to Asia to do this, I will gladly take the opportunity. I will be in Southern California in early April where I will take time to pray and seek out opportunities to serve.

I would love to share the work here with you all. My friends here who are suffering and persevering for the gospel would appreciate me advocating their struggle on their behalf. I look forward to seeing you in person. May God give us more grace for today.

Sincerely,

EJ
