Entering the New Year 2026 with Trust in the Father Almighty

As I step into the New Year, I carry with me a deep sense of gratitude for how the Father Almighty has led us through the past season. Serving my family, people, studying, and writing research reminded me that ministry is often lived out in ordinary faithfulness: showing up, listening well, and trusting the Father Almighty even when our strength or resources are limited. Along the way, I have learned to slow down, realizing more and more that:

Ministry is not only about only what we do, but about becoming more like the Son: to love, serve, and care as He does. It is not easy, but I try.

A Night the Water Changed Everything

Flooding in Manang, Satun, Thailand 2025

It was around four in the morning when our dog would not stop barking. His bark was loud, urgent, and relentless. 

At first, I thought there must be a big snake nearby. Living in southern Thailand, that would not have been unusual. What made it more confusing was that there had been no heavy rain that night. Still half asleep and slightly annoyed, I got up to check on him, unaware that his warning was about something far more serious.
