Lost and Found

Yesterday I had the chance to worship in a church in Chiang Mai, Thailand. I sat right behind 3 college age kids from Holland. The worship music was in English and then Thai. The songs were the same we sing at home. It was amazing to watch those kids in front of me worship in a Thai church with English when they were from Holland. Very cool. I am sitting in a cyber cafe in the middle of Hong Kong. I went up for coffee and just held out coins in my hand and let the guy take whatever he wanted. I may be drinking the most expensive coffee in the world right now. I toured an HIV orphanage. Every child has HIV and all their parents died of AIDS. I walked out thinking the love of Christ is the greatest thing in the world. I love being a follower of Jesus. So do those kids from Holland. I hope you do too.

I thought of you yesterday during worship. I thought of how blessed you are (and HCC is) to have Jim as your mentor and friend. His passion, honesty and love for the Lord is contagious. His obvious love for his wife, family and church is amazing. I love his couragous and vealous faith. Your relationship has made HCC a unique place. I am glad you and Jim have such a strong friendship and I thank God for the "Jims" in my life too!
