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 […]
Matthew 12
What did I learn about Jesus? Jesus reiterates that he is divine (verse 8). Jesus was a student of the Word (which speaks to importance of OUR studying and memorizing the Word). What did I learn about disciple-making? Again, our genuineness as disciples is clearly evidenced by the fruit of our lives. When you follow […]
Reflections from the Latongku Medical Clinic
As I tried to prepare for the medical aspects of this trip, I found it difficult to get a handle on reliable information on basic healthcare and health statistics in the Karen people along the Thai/Burmese border where we have been traveling. It quickly became evident in talking with the many different medical assets on […]

Matthew 11
What did I learn about Jesus? Jesus shares a strong identity with the Father (verse 27). Jesus faced opposition (verses 20-24). What did I learn about disciple-making? The comfort for our doubts is the surety of who Jesus is evidenced in the life he lived (verse 1-19). Disciple-making is an invitation to rest and labor […]
You aren’t as relational as you think you are!
A team of us went to a disciple-making conference back in October. Frankly, we were prepared. We had read all the materials, we were “talkin’ the talk,” we were committed to disciple-making as our way forward as a congregation. So, one morning, our co-facilitator said, “We’ve decided to throw away the script. You guys understand […]

Matthew 10
What did I learn about Jesus? Jesus passed on his authority to heal and teach to his followers. Jesus sent his followers to face persecution without fear. What did I learn about disciple-making? Jesus promised that the road would not be easy for disciple-makers; there would be persecution and hatred directed at his followers (verses […]
Meeting a Celebrity!
Our Thailand/Burma Vision Team continues their journey! In the last few days they have gone to visit the medical clinic in Latonku and met with Eilya, the co-founder of the Free Burma Rangers. They commented that it was, “like meeting a celebrity!”. All are well and they continue to seek the Holy Spirit’s guidance to […]
Matthew 9
What did I learn about Jesus? Jesus claims to be God (verses 1-8). He loves to do new things that unsettle us… and that old systems can’t hold. What did I learn about disciple-making? Disciples are called right in their places of work (verse 9). He commands us to be good shepherds to the crowds…harassed […]
Matthew 8
What did I learn about Jesus? Jesus has the power to heal—physical and spiritual (see esp. verse 16). Jesus has power over nature (verse 26). Jesus was a “going” God…he “goed” (went) and He bids us to go in faith and obedience. Where do I go today at His bidding? What did I learn about disciple-making? […]
The journey continues!
It’s impossible to get anywhere on time! Although we are a fairly low-maintenance team, everywhere we go in this country we run into someone who knows Laurie or one of the other Eubanks and we are halted for a short time. Typically it is a divinely timed connection and needed information, supplies, transformation, encouragement or […]
