It’s been a week since our team arrived back from Cambodia. We are all back into the swing of life, school, work. Although I’ll be the first to admit that I still yearn for a nap around 1:00 each afternoon. And I’ll admit that I spend a lot of time scrolling through the pictures, my […]
Cambodia Team has Arrived
If you are reading this blog post, the Cambodia team has safely touched down in Phnom Phen. Those who have been before are basking in the familiarity of a country that keeps calling them back. Those of us that are here for the first time are experiencing the initial whirlwind of new sights, sounds, and […]
Send Me!
Over 20 years ago, I went on my first mission trip with Chapel Hill to Mexico. Back in those days our Mexico trip was in the summer, we rode buses all the way down I-5 to Tijuana, and we slept on church floors along the way. We are all grateful for the introduction of midwinter […]

Here’s my highlight: One of the highlights for me from the last few days was joining in the celebration and events surrounding the dedication of the Latongku Health Center. It was incredible to see the Lord bring things that were once far fetched visions to reality. Allan Eubank was called to the Talakone in the […]
First Full Day in Thailand
And now, here I am, seeing the long and storied work of Joan and Allen Eubank. Yesterday, our first full day in Thailand, we hit the ground running.
