Chris Chandler

Hello and welcome to Team Bangladesh 2010's Blog! My name is Chris Chandler and I am one of the ten members of Team Bangladesh. I'm so pumped to see how God is going to use our words and actions to speak to the people of Bangladesh/Nepal!

A little information about myself...

I'm a sophomore Business Administration major, Biblical Studies minor.
I'm from a suburb outside of Chicago called Hoffman Estates.

I have an older sister, Emily, and two wonderful parents, Ron and Connie.

I am on the APU Men's Club Volleyball team.

I'm going to be a Resident Advisor next year for the freshmen men in Engstrom Hall!

These past couple of months have been quite the adventure. I'm amazed at how things have panned out and how blessed I am to be serving with this team. Our two leaders, Corinne and Justin, have been nothing short of amazing and I can honestly say that I love getting to know every member on this team.

Something I have been learning since being on Team Bangladesh is how often we put God in a box. Who are we to say what God can and cannot do? He created the universe and yet we still question him. It is this "philosophy" that I now have of God. God is not limited to our own human constrictions. God is God and we are not and with this understanding, anything is possible.

With that being said, I believe that we are going to be blown away by what God is going to do with us. I believe that people will be healed, miracles will happen, and people will come to know Jesus. By the time we leave Bangladesh/Nepal, we will have seen God move in ways that seem absolutely illogical to the human mind. BUT, we are still in need of your prayers!

Prayer Requests

• That God would use us to speak to the people of Bangladesh/Nepal
  
• That we would focus and rely on God for strength


• That the people of Bangladesh/Nepal would be receptive of our message


• That we would unite as a team under one purpose-to bring the Kingdom of God to the ends of the earth
  

Thanks so much for following our trip and I cannot wait to tell everyone what God is doing!
