8/24- 8/31 Update


Hey Friends,

College Group last night was fun. The cookies and guac were tasty and the conversation was engaging. I was encouraged by the interest about Myanmar and CrossWinds' connection to the people there. I'm really excited to see how our College Group Community will be used to both raise awareness about Myanmar and impact the situation within Myanmar.

For those of you who were interested in coming on the trip, we will be taking applications through September 7, but the sooner you turn them in the better.

Also - in our conversation the movie BURMA VJ was brought up. If you would like to learn more about it check it our here: Bumra VJ Our plan is to see the movie together - a "bonding time" Sunday October 4th in SF at the Red Vic Theater. This will be great chance for us to hang out together, and learn more about Myanmar. Please make the plans to come, and bring friends!


If you have any other thoughts or questions about Myanmar, lets continue this discussion online!

I thought last night's discussion was great. It was awesome to get the perspectives of those that have been to other countries and experienced what it means to "go and make disciples of all nations" (Matt 28:19).

Through my personal experiences with missions, I have realized that building relationships and maintaining consistency are key. Sharing the love of God doesn't always come in the literal sense. Loving on people and being an example can speak volumes as well.

No matter what mistakes are made along the way, I believe God works in everything. We can't screw up bad enough to throw off His plan. That's my two cents...
