update

woah cool convo yesterday. As you know, my small church plant has been meeting at Kamp's, a historic deli in the Asian District of OKC. Anyway, accountant/owner of Kamp's Ann Cong has been noticing me. She says that I am a huge influence in my church and that people are drawn to me. She sees me as a leader in the community we've been placed in, and my heart is there. I want to know more about being able to minister to the diverse population in the Asian District where our church is located.

She asked that I consider joining Leadership Oklahoma City. I don't know how much influence this training place has, but I missed the deadline for this year's application. If it means more to you umma & appa, she has two sons who are very respectable too-- one finishing up dental school in May :P

Life at the Mission is amazing too. God continues to open doors. My blog has some stuff on the refuge too-- like the latest newspaper article that was written about it!

Random people have also been coming up to me and telling me such encouraging things! People who have gotten to know me this past year say the Spirit of God is changing me, but I don't see it because I feel like I'm the same person. It's weird, but when random people I meet for the first few times consistently tell me the same encouraging things, I can't help but give all the glory to God. People are seeing the beauty of Jesus through me and it's incredible.
