asking for big things.

You said ask and you will receive whatever you need
You said pray and I'll hear from heaven, and I'll heal your land
You said your glory will fill the earth like water the seas
You said lift up your eyes, the harvest is here, the kingdom is near
You said

Ask and I'll give the nations to you
Oh, Lord, that's the cry of my heart
Distant shores and the islands will see
Your light as it rises on us

This song, "You Said," was written on our hearts all summer. We have asked for so many big things for the Karen, for Burma, and even for ourselves as we look ahead to the unknowns of our future. We also had so many people praying big things for us from home, and we are so thankful that.
We were able to share this song with the students and invite them to join us in asking for big things from a big God who loves us. We want to invite you to do the same as we return. Please keep praying for Burma, for the Karen people, and for the students at Noh Bo. We ask you'd be praying big things for us, too, as we return to a very stressful two months before our wedding and countless decisions and unknowns.
Thank you for the prayers you have offered up for us already! We pray God will bless you for your faithfulness.
