Matt Brown's Blog: October 2009
http://mattbrownblog.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 28, 2009. At night, we would drive a long ways out to a farming village and share the gospel message using skits, songs, and testimonies. The area was known for having many drunk men. We had so many distractions during our time there including passing vehicles and motorcycles, screaming children, drunk men, and animals! Thank you to everyone for your prayers and support while I have been outreach. Please pray that the next few weeks go well for our team as we leave November 14th. I hav...

Matt Brown's Blog: Haiti Disaster
http://mattbrownblog.blogspot.com/2010/01/haiti-disaster.html
Friday, January 15, 2010. Which brings me to my next point. In times in our lives when everything has fallen apart, where do we go? It really makes you assess your current decisions in life. If I was a Haitian with no home, no family, and nothing to look forward to, what would I do? What would I think about God (especially when certain televangelists, who will go unnamed, say God is punishing you for making a deal with the devil hundreds of years ago)?

Monday, December 14, 2009. It was a great surprise for her and I am so excited to start a new journey with her. I will leave you with a verse that I shared with the July 2009 DTS at their graduation. It comes from Ephesians 2:10 "For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.". Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). What I am reading.

Matt Brown's Blog: Back again in Oz
http://mattbrownblog.blogspot.com/2009/11/back-again-in-oz.html
Monday, November 16, 2009. Back again in Oz. We are officially done with outreach and are back in Australia enjoying a week of debriefing. I am so glad to be back here with the rest of the school and staff. It was a great reunion seeing everyone again. I think the reality that we have only a week left has not really set in for most of us yet. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). What I am reading. The Sacred Marriage By: Gary Thomas.

http://mattbrownblog.blogspot.com/2010/03/magic-dumpster.html
Tuesday, March 2, 2010. Ishwashing soap, a water pitcher, a Hawaii coffee table book, and a car shade. After thinking about it for a while, Britt and I came to the conclusion that someone in the apartment complex had been evicted. Apparently their belongings were just tossed out by the dumpster. I was hit by the uniqueness of this situation. Where else in the world can someone's belongings be tossed out like it was worthless? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). What I am reading.

Matt Brown's Blog: August 2009
http://mattbrownblog.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 26, 2009. Last week, we looked at "Relationships" with Tricia Hensser and Catrina Pennington. Both of them are wives and base staff here at the base. It was a great week of really looking at the value of all human beings and also the utmost importance of forgiving people. As we go forward in this DTS into outreach, it will be important to remember these principles. Outreach is a time when our integrity is tested. Thursday, August 13, 2009. Monday, August 3, 2009.
