I think if this team was absolutely and completely honest with you, which we are, we would tell you that being a part of this trip has not been all it’s cracked up to be. It has been HARD. Not like World Race hard, but extremely difficult to pioneer.  When people look at us on this journey, they tell us how jealous they are of what we’re doing. Granted, it’s a really cool opportunity, but it’s nothing that anyone else couldn’t chase after. We struggle just like you and have incredible stories of hardship and overcoming things. The greatest...

  We sat in a room all seven of us and asked the Lord where to go in Thailand. We didn’t have anything planned yet accept flights out of Chiang Mai on March 7th. I got a word that Chantai would get the word for our direction. I looked up from the prayer to see her beaming smile ready to tell us everything the Lord had just downloaded to her. She resounds to the Lord through art in a journal of paintings, pictures and magazine clippings. She said she got the word to “build your house upon the rock” and she cut out pictures of cactuses and painted two strange shapes in...

  There is this incredible effect in film called a time-lapse. You’ve most likely seen them many times but you may not easily recall just because that’s exactly what a time-lapse intends to be – a smooth transition. Technically speaking, a time-lapse is a denoting photographic technique of taking a sequence of frames at set intervals to record changes that take place slowly over time. When the frames are shown at normal speed, or in quick succession, the action seems much faster. Fascinating, isn’t it?  This blog update is called time-lapse living because...

    It all began with one story. THE story. Like the dawn of a new day it comes. It rises with colors exploding. It whispers of hope. Jesus was born to die so that we might live. Hope breathed into being. We had a way home. From His resurrection, hope; and word got around. Story. Story. Story. Year after year. Hope. Stories of hope, faithfulness, of a great love. You see, storytellers are born everyday. “Did you hear?” “Did you hear?” “Jesus.” “Jesus.” “Jesus.” A life changed. A life remade. Generation upon generation....

Hello, Emily here! The Wider Lens team has been in Siem Reap, Cambodia for a little over two weeks now. It feel like its been a month, so crazy, but in a good way. We’ve been SUPER busy filming and following stories here, but also very chill. We’ve been following some developing stories and filming interviews here at the Adventures In Missions “business as missions” base here called the Overflow Guesthouse and absolutely loving working together as a team in this vibe of Cambodia. We really feel like there’s some unsettled spiritual dust waiting to be settled...
