August 29th
A student recently asked about my accomplishments, referring to my high school track career. I began to list them off, event times and placements at competitions. The student quickly noted the lack of enthusiasm in my voice as she was amazed at my marks. Then words came out of my mouth, and even I was shocked by my response, “I guess the joy of knowing God and starting movements makes those seem like nothing.” Praise the Lord for His hand in everything, as it wasn't my intention to say such, but it was that very phrase that transitioned us towards a spiritual conversation. In reflection, and by God's grace, that statement is true for me, the joy of knowing God and the joy of witnessing people grow and come to know Him as well, paints my life. I am most proud and thankful for the opportunities to start/grow spiritual movements through Epic at UC Santa Barbara, UC Davis, UC Riverside, University of Hawaii, and Ege University (Izmir, Turkey).
Every once in a while, I'll get updates on how these campuses are doing. The news warms my heart, knowing that I've left a legacy for Christ that continues to this day. For those who have supported my before during my intern years, I thank you for your partnership as it was you who allowed me to do such amazing things. For those who are new to my team, I look forward to telling you more stories of God working on college campuses such as what these two photos explain: the photo above was taken my freshmen year in 2004 (there was no need to use a wide angle lens) – when we started an Epic Movement at UCSB. The photo below is a recent photo (2013) of a large group Epic meeting at UCSB. This year will mark 10 years of growth, and numerous Asian-American students who have been won, built, and sent for Christ! Please pray for God to raise my support so that I can report to campus so I can launch more movements and share more photos such as these.
