Love Does

Recently my Facebook page has been filled with posts from friends of mine at Mountain Christian Church. The current sermon series is "Love Does" which is based on the best selling book with the same title. (written by Bob Goff.)

In light of this series and seeing the words "Love Does" everywhere, I began to think about what "Love Does" looks like in my life and ministry here in Thailand.
So here it goes. . .
