Future plans

DTS is going really well.  I couldn't have asked a better group of staff to run with this quarter in the sense of unity and seeking similar things in our relationship with the Lord.  The students have been amazing with how they receive teaching and discipleship, and they are all hungry to know more of this God we serve.  In a little less than a month this group of young men and women will go out in 8 different teams into the nations to minister to people around the world that the Lord  is crazy about but I will not be joining them at this time.

As of now, my plans are to go home and be with my family in Frederick, Maryland.  I have been praying for my next step and I feel that the Lord has told me to go home for at least the next 3 months to spend some time with my family, invest in a local church, reconnect with supporters and work to raise funds to go out into the field again. 

I'm not sure what the Lord has for this next period of time but I do know that it is better for me to obey than for me to plan out my own future.  God loves us and he is for us so I don't have to worry about what tomorrow might bring although it does feel a little strange for me to come home for a longer period of time.

This does not mean that I will be done with missions and it does not mean that I'm through with this "phase" of my life and I'm coming back to "normal" life.  It simply means that the Lord has other plans right now and I'm just following him.


I'd love to meet with you once I'm in the continental United States, so please let me know if you would like to and we can arrange a time.  I'll be flying back on Sept 23 and arriving in Maryland on Sept 24. You can e-mail me at schoi19@gmail.com and we can schedule a time.
