Welcome Julie!!

What an amazing ministry! I will be praying for changed lives, safety and prosperity!

What made you choose Thailand?

I feel very blessed to be a part of Bridge’s US.

I am praying for all things listed above ⬆️

I helped out a friend by helping her get her ballot. It was also an opportunity to disciple to her. We talked about her family dynamics and ways to improve their relationship.

Like the bridge is inside an orange outline of the United States.

What about the same logo of the orange bridge but inside an outlined shape of the US map?

I have had more of a habit in the past few years of thanking God. “Thank you God for my kids”, “Thank you God for this moment”, etc.

I also talk to God on a much more personal level when I am feeling anxious or scared. “God, please help me with the future. I know it is in your hands, so I must give the future to you. Help me with the discomfort I feel in this moment. God, remove my doubt.”

Thank you for your comment Betsy! Communication with God is everything!! I always tell the youth that I minister to at my church- keep the dialogue with God active. 🙏

Does Discipleship also include creating other spiritual leaders?

[Tara Martinez Fernandez]

I think these questions are great. I would also add “What are my friend’s religious views?” If I know them outside of church, I think it’s important to know who their god is. Is it substances, relationships, lifestyle, education, success? Everyone has a god, so it’s important to note who their god is before introducing God to their life.

For example, if someone’s god is relationships/ falling in love, I would approach it by validating that they are worthy of love. Then I would point them to the everlasting Father, who loves us unconditionally.

I found Tim Glover’s Podcast very helpful! He is a Bridge Leader, one of the things they are working on is to create community for Christian Filmmakers in Los Angeles.

It was filled with information about the impact of Bridges. I really recommend it!

Thank you for explaining, Julie! I would be interested to hear more about why China is in the condition that it is in.

I had a friend from high school who was an exchange student from Thailand. Her name was Naphawarian but we all called her Nine, I guess everyone there goes by nicknames. You are very brave to go out and spread the gospel to those in need for it!

My ministry is a podcast where discipleship happens with guests and to our viewers. I feel called to share my testimony with others as well as listen to theirs. I also have long term goals of narrative media and storytelling of people’s testimonies. I am very focused locally and hope to improve our culture for Gen Z and the younger generations to come.
