????Have the kids to myself for a few days while @tawni28 takes a spiritual retreat to @hillsong color conference with some sisters in our church. Pray for prophetic words, divine appointments, and refreshment for her, and for me just pray that I can figure out how the washing machine works ? #colorconference #hillsongcolorconference #sandystoriesnewsletter #sandystoriesblog // “...but by My Spirit.” What is spirit? A ghost? A feeling? A mood? Regardless of whether or not we can wrap our heads around it, one thing is certain: the Holy Spirit is a determining factor in the Christian walk. I love David who writes about God widening the path beneath him so his ankles would not turn. The perfect man is not one who can walk alone, but one who can faithfully walk with Jesus through anything, and does so every time. Because when we fail, his mercies are new every day, and he can pick us up. I cannot give my kids all the love and attention they deserve, but I can show them the way to walk close to the Father, at all times, in all circumstances, and that gives me hope that one day, these kids will fully live out their potential. And I love that in our family, we walk together daily in such a way that every day is a clean slate, a fresh start, a new horizon. Jesus has taught our family that there is freedom through forgiveness, and out of that place our family has continued to grow closer, stronger, and sillier! We’re a young family, so there’s a long ways to go for us to learn and grow, but we’re walking together with Jesus, and I wouldn’t trade that for the world. ???? #dadjoy

Our Story

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.
