I have been selected to join a team of 5 to Thailand and SE Asia coming up in just two months. I would love for you to join me in the process as I gather a prayer team and raise the financial support needed to go.

Personal:
I have been praying to be able to visit this area of the world for many years now. Many of you know that I have been dealing with autoimmune issues over the past few years. This area of the world- food, weather, humidity, and altitude- all are very good for my body. I have found that being in more hot and humid places has actually increased my health and the food they eat is all food that my body can digest easily! How cool is that?!
Work:
I will be traveling with TEAM for the SE Asia Vision Trip. There are 5 on the team including our leader. We will be hosted by an area missionary once arriving in Thailand and she will take us around the ministry areas. This will not only be an amazing opportunity to be a part of what God is doing in this area of the world, but also to get insight into what TEAM looks like internationally. This will increase my understanding in coaching and mobilizing people and churches in missions in the PNW!
The Gospel:
SE Asia is place where there are many closed doors to the gospel; however, we are in a special time in history where it seems that many countries are on the verge of opening their borders to the message of Jesus Christ. We will be visiting many ministries who are actively living in the communities to come alongside and encourage them in their work and gaiin insight as to how we can best mobilize workers into this specific field.
Bonus: My home church in Tacoma, City Central, supports a family in Chang Mai and I will be able to spend a few extra days at the end of this trip visiting the family and gaining understanding as to their mission. This will be beneficial as we are working at developing our mission support and sending process at City Central.
