Met with the man who imports guns from the US for the Thai military. An ABAC grad! We talked leadership, family, and entrepreneurship. Faith came up, and we were a diverse group. I shared just a parable and my testimony. A mom was there with her daughter, and something I said struck a chord with her. But I knew it was the Holy Spirit already at work in her heart. I walked away feeling like she had a bit more hope in God’s love and His good plan for her life than when when we met. There’s a lot I feel like I can’t control. It’s my fault, really. I set the bar high when so said yes to a vision to “Awaken Thailand.” Only God can do that. But when I do what I can, I often see God’s hand already at work in their hearts. Behind their amulets and religious garb, there are beating hearts and curious minds being drawn to Jesus by the goodness, grace, and glory of God. it’s His vision, His plan, and His Spirit at work. #sandystoriesblog #sandystoriesnewsletter #immerseimpactignite#awakenthailand

God called Tawni to Thailand during a mountain top experience. Her training school had planted a church in Chiang Mai and was nearing the end of their trip. The team retreated to Doi Suthep's viewpoint for prayer over the city. As she gazed out over the lush Northern province, a voice began speaking to her heart, "Will you give your life for my people here?"

These were our dating days.

Meanwhile I was in Mongolia working with youth, teaching city kids about prayer, worship, and evangelism. God had given me the gift of evangelism, and regardless of language or hemisphere, God would put soft people in my path. While in Ulaanbaatar, for example, I was run down by a young man asking if I could tell him about Jesus. Mongolians aren't known for their hunger for God, but God is known for sending missionaries to hungry people, wherever they are.

When Tawni told me she felt God was calling her to Thailand, it hardly surprised me. What has surprised me, however, is just about every step since we moved.

Mike and Tawni now have three children, all of whom were born in Thailand. They attend Life Church in Bang Na and recently celebrated five years overseas.
