Extreme Operations: August 2012

http://extreme-operations.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html

Friday, 31 August 2012. My son painted this picture after he heard about Operation Extreme Love, Thailand. He wrote the following comment about it:. This was the final piece for my final major project for the first year of my college course. Before reading this though. I wanted the portrait to be beautiful but at the same time to express the great sadness, loss, pain, and abandonment the girl is feeling. The tears are of great sorrow. The piece is called 'Shattered'.". Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). There i...

Extreme Operations: December 2014

http://extreme-operations.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html

Monday, 1 December 2014. I spend time with precious people, people like Stephen and Ying Fulton, people like Nella Davidse, who have the courage and the fortitude to stand, as beacons of light in this vast darkness. I see them, and I am astonished by their beauty. Light always shines more brightly when it is really dark. Is it worth it? Some say no. They look at the statistics and say the problem is growing.

Extreme Operations: Women at Risk....

http://extreme-operations.blogspot.com/2014/11/women-at-risk.html

Sunday, 23 November 2014. Relationship building is careful work. I was reminded of Siem. My heart still hurts, almost three years later, when I think of her. Such a sweet little girl. Far too sweet and innocent to be working in a karaoke bar in Poipet! So where is Siem now? What happened to her? Would she be hardened, innocence betrayed, trust lost forever? Do Not by desire or by choice, but that doesn't change how it must feel for her. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). How to Use this Blog - for new u...

Extreme Operations: Returnings

http://extreme-operations.blogspot.com/2015/10/returnings.html

Tuesday, 6 October 2015. Less than a month from today I will be in Asia again. It is so strange, so irrational. I like my First-World lifestyle. As time has passed, I have found my horizons expanding in Asia. It is still not a rational thing. God asked us first of all to open our hearts to Thailand, and right now I have no idea what to do about that. Was Thailand a marker on my road or a destination? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Extreme Operations: September 2012

http://extreme-operations.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html

Tuesday, 11 September 2012. As you know, I went to Cambodia earlier this year, to look at the issues of child trafficking and prostitution and to see if there was a way in which I could help. This trip was very much an expression of my heart, as I have always loved children and have been dedicated to promoting their well-being in whatever way I can. Children are the future of our nations and of our generation. And raising my own children as well as I possibly could. Flights are expensive, and I would lov...

Extreme Operations: October 2014

http://extreme-operations.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html

Tuesday, 14 October 2014. I have been wondering for some time about whether or not I would go to Asia this year. Then an American friend, Linda, wrote to ask if I would consider accompanying her on a trip to Myanmar. A mutual friend from Myanmar, David Joy, had been asking us to come for some time, to share stories and encourage Christians in his city, Yangon. Linda really wanted to go. I do have some thoughts though:. I am researching and writing - there is a book coming I think; I'm not sure when, but ...

Extreme Operations: November 2012

http://extreme-operations.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html

Friday, 23 November 2012. Cambodia Trip - Wednesday, Day 10. It was really hot today. As I emerged from my hotel, the heat hit me in the face, and only the thought of the air-conditioning in Destiny Cafe stopped me turning back again. I found myself feeling like I really ought to be doing ‘something’ on this, my last day in Cambodia for now. 440 Thai Baht, or £8.99. At my hotel I tumbled thankfully into my bed, too tired even to eat. Besides which, I had spent the last of my Thai Baht on the street c...

Tuesday, 25 November 2014. The young bar-girl Lynn was talking to decided not to come to XP's training centre. Lynn was in tears, telling us. Too afraid to trust the hand held out, she had decided to stay with the high-risk but more familiar environment in which she found herself. Sunday, 23 November 2014. Relationship building is careful work. So where is Siem now? What happened to her? Would she be hardened, innocence betrayed, trust lost forever? Monday, 17 November 2014.
