Fusion & Sundaes on Monday & Ignite

Weren't you just thinking how much you could use a short break from schoolwork? Isn't it true that to go away for a mere 24 hours could change your whole perspective? Don't you want to hang out and enjoy yourself and make some new friends before hitting the books hard again?

We have 11 going to Fusion so far, but we could still find a spot for you, too, if you hurry up and let us know that you want to come. We have a few spots in hotel rooms that we can still fill.

Email me hjrojas AT verizon DOT net to let me know. We will be meeting at Clark University at the parking lot on Woodland and Downing and road-tripping from there at 5:30. We have the Holy Cross van and one or two more cars. If you are interested in driving, let me know that, too. This is only one night! Be sure to save your spot with the $30 registration ASAP. Hotel will only cost another $30!!!!

Monday Night, 7:00 - 8:00 PM, October 23

Back from Central Thailand

So I am officially back in Bangkok. My time in Central Thailand was extremely enjoyable. I went around with a group called Sattha Soccer. Sattha means faith in Pasa Thai. We would travel to different villages around central thailand to partner with the peacemakers or church of that region. While there we would use soccer as a platform to get the people of the town connected with the church.
This trip was a super blessing to myself and I am sure the other guys as well. The time in this region was very heavy though. This is an area with a very very small Christian influence. This region is a poorer region than Bangkok. It is mostly farmers and small shop owners. The region is mostly filled with very devout Buddhist.
I was especially touched by the commitment and patience that the Thai Christians and missionaries show in this region. There is a lot of work and not much reaping. But that does not mean God is not working in this region. He is doing some really cool stuff through this soccer ministry.
The one major thing I learned from this trip is the importance of prayer. There is so much spiritual warfare going on in this region that it is extremely overwhelming for the Christians there. Pray for them. Pray for the people they encounter. But most importantly, pray that God would continue to be glorified through all he does.
School starts next tuesday. Pray that I would continue to rock in the classroom for God. Also, pray that I would actually be a better teacher this year. Here are some photos to entice your imagination. That golden buddha is ginormous and it is on top of the mountain in Nakon Suwan. Pray for the ministry there bigtime.

Discussion starter...

This poor neglected blog won't be neglected forever. Here are a couple of fun links for those 2 or 3 people who pop over each day.

Jack Bauer of 24 (the BEST show on television!)--Jesus figure?

David Hasselhoff (one of the worst actors, except in the German pop cultural imagination) is the antichrist.
