DREAM BIG
Dreaming Big!
Hi Everyone!!!! I miss you all so much! Thailand has kept me on my toes this January and February. For the past few weeks I have been in the South teaching English on Koh Phi Phi island. God continues to do amazing things here and teach me so much. Lately God has been challenging me to dream Big with the passions He has put on my heart. I encourage you to dream big 'cause all things are possible with Him!
~ Matthew 19:26
An Amazing Sight...
One morning on Koh Phi Phi I walked out of the school and saw a huge cloud of smoke rising not too far away. I asked what it was and the teacher told me it was probably coming from a local store but it was nothing to worry about. We didn't realize how bad it was until we reached the scene. Smoke covered the entire area and at least 6 buildings were burning down. But what saw was amazing... Hundreds of Thai people and tourists worked side by side putting the fire out. People took their place in line as they hauled up buckets of water from the sea to the burning buildings. I had never seen anything like it... So many people from around the world united together for one cause. Everyone felt connected. It gave me a glimpse of what the family of God looks like in action.
When the fire was out a huge applause arose from everyone. Six stores burnt down on the tiny island with four families losing their homes. Later I found out that it was the same day (Sunday) at the same time (11:00am) that the Tsunami had hit the island 2 years before. This event brought back painful memories yet I hoped to share with them God's comfort in times of hardship.

PRAYER:
1. Please pray for the people on Koh Phi Phi island who have lost their businesses and homes. I will be going back to the island in a few weeks. Please pray that I will be able continue to build friendships there and bless the people.
2. My family is coming in less than 2 weeks to visit! Please pray that we would have a great time and that we would be a light to the Thai people as we travel and do some ministry.
3. Please pray for more of God in my life, for health and for wisdom.
Thank you so much for all your prayers and support. I would love to hear how you are doing and what is happening in your life. Remember to Dream Big!
God bless you so much,
Love and prayers,
Melissa
