I’ve been having an amazing time in missions with the Logos Hope.  God is really challenging and teaching me these first few months.  He always continues to amaze. 

                Working with the crew has proven to be very challenging.  Challenges brought through culture and communications mainly but also relationally with Him too.  It’s kind of like the cross Kasey uses for the youth (FBCM youth leader). 

 You see how the arrows point.  The two arrows running horizontally are a representation of our relationships here on Earth, and the other how we connect with God vertically.  With culture there is always a conflict with over 40 different nationalities represented.  It seems every time you open your mouth you offend someone.  Next, communications, this seems to be a problem no matter how well you know the culture.  I know this something I saw a major problem with in some areas of my life back home.

                With these challenges I’ve come to find the only way through these challenges is through the many juicy fruits’ of Spirit, Galations 5:22.  If we want to continue to have a vital relationship with God we need to stay in step with the Spirit.  Just praying for others and myself to have God rain these fruits down on us and have them represented in our actions has been very satisfying. God's love is relentless. 

                I’ve seen so many answers to prayer too.  It’s been a great blessing to see God at work!
