You’re not gonna believe the crazy story Dan Cornelius tell of confronting a pedophile in Thailand. Watch now!
When you think about human trafficking and sexual abuse, you typically think about victimized girls. Dan Cornelius reminds you that boys are suffering in extreme ways as well.
Dan Cornelius says we’ve been saved from something but what have we been saved for? What is the purpose for which you were created? Just to sit on your butt and wait for your meal ticket out of here? There’s something bigger for you as you join God’s missions force through prayers and financial giving.
When you’re in the thick of a difficult situation, it usually doesn’t feel like Paul’s description of a “light and momentary trouble.” But in light of eternity, Dan Cornelius says, God is adding you to the bigger narrative.
When you live cross-culturally in a country not your own, you’ll be challenged daily. Your mindset will change over time and you’ll become accustomed to the nuances of culture, but get ready to live on the fringes for a long time.
