Exciting news, ways to give back, and more

 Why do i love this month so much, i have exactly four reasons. In this post though i will be discussing two of those.  One is that this is the month of my birthday, yaaaa September. Two, is that Lecrae's CD "REHAB" is coming out on sept. 28th. I could not be more excited!!!!

Check out a way to give back: A way to make a spiritual difference in Sudan while in the comfort of your home, i just donated, you can too:)

Lecrae will be going to Sudan the week his CD comes out, check out why and how you can help missionaries, on his blog: http://reachrecords.com/blog/show/REHAB-MISSION

 Your donation will be helping"Red Revolution Ministries and pastors from The Village church to train pastors and community leaders who are passionate about spreading the Gospel despite the current situation in Sudan."

 

 Here is a song he created this summer for a camp that i absolutely love, its not on the new CD though. Also included is a song from his new cd called: "Just like you."

                         

Also Tomorrow according to Lecrae fb page:"

Trip Lee's "The Invasion (Hero)" will be the new joint of the day tomorrow on BET's 106 & Park. Tune in and tell a friend!"

Interesting! I absolutely dislike BET, but like sho Baraka said: "If we stay in the church they will call us religious. If we go on mtv and the saints think were trippin. If we try to hit the streets then we're thugs in sin. With those spectator you cant expect to win." So my prayer is that this video draws people to the direction of Christ, may Christ and only Christ be glorified through this.

Here is what Lecrae said to someone angry about this news: "........... now the reality is I am NOT promoting anything but the Gospel and bro Luke 15 finds Jesus in a very similar situation. Read it. Where would you have the Gospel go if not to where the sick (lustful, porn addicted, prideful, violent, homosexual) are? Would you prefer The BET audience be punished (legalism) or receive the same grace (I hope) you've received. (gospel)
It's not Hypocritical BET can be dangerous for us and we proceed in fear and caution (Jude) but none the less we proceed. Don't know where you'd like to see the Gospel go. Cleaner, better, healthier people only? We are in need. You
my friend as Ephesians 2 states ( I hope)  were just as dead in sin as the worst of us." 

Well said Lecrae.

Here is the video that will be on BET:

My trip to Hong Kong and laos

Because school just began again for me, things have been a bit busy.

Why did i travel to Asia?
The answer is that i traveled to Asia, as a Christian teacher, to teach English to young students. It was a awesome experience. I learned so much about the Father, about humans, and about myself while at Hong Kong and Laos. I definitely grew spiritually because of what I learned in Asia. In Hong Kong, I got to interact with around 120 students; 21 of those students were mine. I spent so much time with the students and my team which allowed opportunities to develop deep relationships. How I miss my team and my students, but I know many of those relationship will be lifelong, thanks to technology.  “Love” was a very big theme this summer. From learning/practicing the love languages of each of my team member, understanding the father’s love for his children, to having countless opportunities to love on students/team members, “Love” played a very big role.


Here is a clip i recorded of my students while they were watching a movie. They are a bit camera shy!

Stayed tuned for pics from my trip.
