<br />
I have made it to Thailand, as many of you already know if you have been following my on Facebook and Youtube. <br />
<br />
I have been working on settling in and getting into the swing of thing. Schedule and whatnot. My time in Thailand will be spent in classes that are meant to ensure the entire team is on the same page 'skill wise'. We all come from different backgrounds and skill levels, so this time will be interesting to say the least. But, I am looking forward to it. Each week we have several assignments and projects to cover. <br />
<br />
I set out to find a subject today for one of my photo assignments and ended up finding it in the form of a Thai farmer/fisherman. Needless to say he was startled when he turned around to find a strange white guy with a camera snapping away. I followed him around while he checked previously placed fishing lines for fish and rebated the hooks. He didn't speak any english and I didn't speak any Thai but he managed to teach me how to catch catfish with live crickets. <br />
<br />
Anyway, I just wanted to get these photos out. More to come.<br />

Time flies.. <br />
<br />
It's already been 26 days since I arrived here in Switzerland. Going well... Being here is definitely a blessing as is the ability to see family members I don't usually get to see. The job isn't that fun-sitting in front of a computer for 9 hours a day tackling tedious network and server issues. Ha.. It's good to be here though. <br />
<br />
I was able to go snowboarding in the Alps, which is something I have always wanted to do. DONE! Ah.. Incredible. 360 degree view of snow caps and blue skis. Heaven. There's something magical about carving down a mountain almost parallel to the ground while grazing the fresh powder with your fingertips. These memories will last a while in my dreams. <br />
<br />
Okay... About the trip in April...<br />
<br />
I have a portion of my flights booked.<br />
<br />
Toronto - Bangkok, Thailand<br />
Bangkok, Thailand - Delhi, India<br />
Delhi, India - Amman, Jordan<br />
Cairo, Egypt - Nairobi, Kenya<br />
Nairobi, Kenya - Johannesberg, South Africa BOOM!<br />
<br />
I still have to book the flights for the second leg of my trip but I will worry about that later. Good thing is... All my insurance has been covered with the purchase of these flights. I got a great deal. Thank God. One less thing to stress about. <br />
<br />
I leave Toronto at 2pm on April 4th.<br />
<br />
VISAS:<br />
<br />
I need to get 2 VISA's-- One for India and the other for Thailand. Somehow I have to get all this done while being in Switzerland. I think I'm going to skip getting the Thai VISA because I can get a 30 day tourist VISA when I arrive and then I'll just pop over to Laos for a weekend and then come back into the country and get another tours VISA. Does anyone have experience with this? <br />
<br />
I'm planning to go next week to get my Indian VISA. Please pray because this can be a consuming process. Especially with India. :)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I sat down last night to plan for the week I'm back. I've never had a busier week in my life. I have something book for the moment I get off the plane! Crazy. I'm excited though. I love being here but I can't wait to be home. <br />
<br />
Back on the 28th of March... Message me!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
God Bless,<br />

<br />
<br />
I made it here. After being delayed 6 hours, almost missing my flight and being randomly searched by a big sweaty guy named Lou, I made it. <br />
<br />
I'm doing well. The first few days were rough but It think it's just because I was jet lagged. 6 hours is rough when compared to 12 or 14. I arrived at 5pm and then I had to start work the following morning at 10:30. Without any sleep, that day was overwhelming to say the least. The people are very nice and so far, it seems to be a great work environment. The only thing that is killing me is having to sit for 9 hours a day in front of a computer. That, I am not used to. Well, at least not for that long. There have already been times where I wanted to pick up my computer and throw it out the window. Haha.. For all of you that work in an office setting, I feel for you. I couldn't do it. <br />
<br />
Basically my job is to take the photos in the Medair database and organize, delete, tag and make it more user friendly. I don't really know how I am going to do that yet but, hey, I haven't even been here for a week yet. <br />
<br />
People come and go here because of the way Medair operates. Some may be here for 3 days, others 7. They fly in for briefings and leave shortly after. It's hard to get to know people. That can make being here slightly lonely at times. <br />
<br />
It is VERY cold here. About -12 most days but it's all the wind coming off lake Geneva that makes it unbearable. Sucks, because it doesn't make going out very fun. I walked to Lausanne the other day (6 KM) and now my face is burned from the wind chill. <br />
<br />
<br />
I know that I have spoken about this a few times before but, this trip has really revealed how much I rely on the friendships and relationships in my life. I have so many amazing friends and I'm so thankful for all of you. I miss you all and I can't wait to see you.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Well, There's a little update. I hope to send out more as I have time but my internet use has been limited because I don't have any at my apartment. I have had to find down coffee shops. All good.<br />
<br />
<br />

Hello everyone,<br />
<br />
<br />
In my last update I mentioned something about "my next adventure". Well, said adventure has just been confirmed so I can now tell you about it!<br />
<br />
On Monday I am flying to Switzerland to work for an NGO called Medair. I will be living there for 2 months and then I'm flying back to Canada for a week and then I'm off on my big trip for 18 months.<br />
<br />
It's all starting to sink in. All of this was just confirmed about 10 days ago when I was still working on the video so, I didn't have time to think about it. But now, it's hitting me like a Mack truck. It's funny... I have lived in Hanover for about 6 years; the first four were spent hidden away everyone while I worked away at the Campground. It's only been in the last 2 years that I have ventured out into the community and started meeting people. It's caught me off guard because suddenly i'm realizing how much I care about the relationships I have here in Hanover. Without noticing it, it has become my home and my family. I know that I'm only leaving for 20 months, but.... still. I've always said: "it doesn't matter what I face in life as long as I have friends that are behind me". So friends, please know that I don't take you lightly or for granted. I am confident that this is the path God has me on, so you could say "suck it up buttercup and git er dun!" Still.. There it is. <br />
<br />
I'm excited. I really am. God is doing some incredible things and I can't wait to see where he takes me.<br />
<br />
This has been a quick update for you all. I will try and post something before I leave in 2 days! Wow..<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

Hello all,<br />
<br />
I'm back from Mexico and still very much alive with the exception of a slight cold and bowel discomfort. Yes, I said that. I have been back for about a week and I'm still slightly sick, though, I am slowly getting better.<br />
<br />
Mexico was AMAZING.<br />
<br />
I think I may be having a hard time explaining just how amazing it was.<br />
<br />
I have traveled a lot in my life and have experienced many different cultures but, this was my first time experiencing 'Latin' culture. I might just have to say it's my favourite. Although i'm not 100% sure about that just yet. I was amazed by the love, kindness and hospitality of everyone I met. Everyday felt like a great, big family reunion. Mexicans have a special way of making anyone feel welcome and accepted. I connected instantly with a few people in particular- so much in fact, that when it came time to say goodbye, I was almost in tears. I felt as though I had known these people for years and I didn't want to say bye. Their culture is rich with family and relational values. The way they do church is also notable. New comers are immediately noticed and welcomed-so much so, that, when it comes time for the service to start, the preacher has already met them all and can call them by name; and does! They start the service thanking God for the newcomers (by name) and for the way He is growing the church.<br />
<br />
I was in Mexico to Photograph and make a Video of a missions team that has been doing work in Guadalajara. I was there for a week and I probably banked 145 hours. I was busy. Every morning I would wake up at 5 am, get my gear ready, charge batteries, eat, and head out the door. Each day was different as I was fallowing the different teams around. Some days we would be touring hospitals, ministering to the church, cultivating land for church expansion and anything else we could help the church out with. I love this team so much because they were in Mexico to 'partner' and 'help' the Mexican church. Not to 'run' or 'take over'. I think that has been one of the major screw ups in the past- Christians that go into a community and take over rather than partner. The Mexican church has so much to teach the world about 'church' and 'community'. Each night I would get home around 10 pm- eat dinner, talk till about midnight and then head off to bed. But, before bed... I had to organize my gear, charge more batteries and organize data. I usually went to bed at 2 am. Yes, I went to bed at 2 and woke up at 5. I was running on adrenaline.<br />
<br />

I was staying with my uncles family at a host family that attended the church we were doing most of the ministry work with. Every morning they would have breakfast prepared for us before we left for the day, and dinner, when we returned. They were a huge blessing to us. </div>

A few weeks ago, my uncle asked me If I would be interested in shooting a video documentary for his mission organization (MBMISSION) in the upcoming weeks. At first, I didn't think too much about it because I didn't want to get my hopes up. I don't usually like entertaining an idea that hasn't yet come to fruition. A let down, if you will. You will… However, after talking to my uncle and a meeting with his associates, I can say that I am going to Guadalajara, Mexico on Friday! I'll be there till the 7th of January.</div>

It's very exciting but I have no idea how the project will work. I think the concept and 'heart' is still being formed. I have been praying a lot about it in the last few days. I will write an update explaining more about it when I come back. Just wanted to let you know!</div>

Well, I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas. Is it just me or did this year not feel very much like Christmas? Maybe it's just me. This is just a quick post to show and ask you what you think of a few photos I did over Christmas.<br />
<br />
I have been wanting to do a bathtub shot for a long time and the other night, the opportunity came up! I was sitting around the Christmas tree with my family opening presents at my Grandparents house when I remembered that they have a very nice, vintage looking bathtub in one of the quest rooms. So, I leaned over to my brother who was sitting beside me and asked him if he would like to do a bathtub shoot after desert. He agreed and after desert we made our way to the tub. I think it was perfect for what I had in mind. With Jordan down to just his underwear, I snapped away trying not to laugh at the suggestive and obscene poses he came up with. I think I almost peed my pants at one time because it was hilarious. haha.. I missed a good shot because I was laughing so hard.<br />
<br />
All in all... I didn't get the shots I was hoping for.. But, I got some different ones! Still happy.<br />

<span style="font-family: Times;">As a Christian, I am exposed, at the very least, to
a weekly ‘Christian’ influence. I
am taught to be humble, to trust, to be thankful and to forgive. In Christian circles, these are the
very traits that are praised and valued.
A person who is constantly demonstrating humility and thankfulness is
put on a much higher pedestal than the one that is expressing the
opposite. For me, I know that I
will get far more respect from my Christian friends if I am constantly
expressing humility. My 'humility'
has suddenly become very ironic. I
came to this realization many years ago but I have recently revisited it
through my 12 step group. To be in a group that is constantly urging you to
share your 'defects' requires a degree of humility. I can say that I started out humble, but now, I'm having
trouble knowing the difference or rather noticing which is which. It's an interesting thought--to be
proud of your humility. Clearly, it's no longer humility at this point. How many of us are just coasting by;
appearing to be something that we know we're not? I wonder if there are more examples out there...<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">I need to write. Writing, to me, may be like
breathing. Our emotions and feelings need a way of getting out of us and into
an action. Something tangible. Something we can understand.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Maybe all confusion starts to fade away
the moment the words hit the paper--or in my case, this word document.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I keep a journal of anything
worth documenting on a day-to-day basis. Sometimes I look back on the things I have
written and I find it amazing to see the progression of myself.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It's good to keep track of progression.
Sometimes I feel like I am stuck in a rut without any movement. When I look
back on what I have gone through, I am encouraged because I can see just how
far I have come.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It's
healthy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">On Tuesday I received an email from the leader
of the PhotogenX program saying that the program has been pushed back by 3
months. As I mentioned in my previous update, they are having trouble landing
an additional staff member and it sounds like there are a few other
complications. Because of this, they have decided to move the date back to the
5th of April-rather than the 5th of January.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.3pt 56.65pt 85.0pt 113.35pt 141.7pt 170.05pt 198.4pt 226.75pt 255.1pt 283.45pt 311.8pt 340.15pt; text-autospace: none;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.3pt 56.65pt 85.0pt 113.35pt 141.7pt 170.05pt 198.4pt 226.75pt 255.1pt 283.45pt 311.8pt 340.15pt; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">Needless to say, I was quite caught off guard
by this.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mentally, I think I was
already gone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Over this past year,
my mindset has been: "You are leaving in January for 18 months".<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It's funny how we make plans for
ourselves without ever considering any other outcomes--and then we literally
are struck down in our tracks because we never planned for such a thing to
happen.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Because of this situation,
I find myself asking the question: "Is this me, or God?" Have I
become so fixated on the way I want my plans and life to unfold that I have
completely disregarded any possible direction from God?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Don't get me wrong; I believe that God
has placed these specific dreams, passions and desires within me for a reason.
A specific image comes to mind:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>An
employee may be given a task to complete but that, by no means, gives him the
skills, knowledge and abilities to complete it. Sooner or later, that employee
will hit a block and realize he/she needs help to complete the task. From
there, he/she needs to make a decision to ask for help or try and do it
himself/herself. I can imagine that these two finished tasks would look
completely different.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We don't
have all the answers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are given
these dreams and desires from God, but then we must team up with him and work
on them together to see them become a reality. Just as we must be in constant
relationship with God, we must also be in partnership.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">I can look back at my own reaction in that
situation with concern. It's a little scary that I reacted that way.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It all goes back to trust. I mentioned
that in a previous update. I DO NOT trust God as much as I should.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As I have been preparing to leave on
this journey. One of the recurring impressions has been the fact that this
experience is going to stretch and challenge me; Specifically in the area of
trusting God with everything.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Another growing experience….<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

Yesterday, I spoke to the leader of the Photo school for about 40 min. to clear up any remaining questions I had. Everything is set to go with the acception of one thing. My leader is trying to find one more person to staff the school. Without this person, the school might not go forward. After talking to her and hearing all the incredible things God has done in preparation for this school; I am encouraged to believe that God wants the school to work! Bringing another staff member is nothing for God. </div>

In the last update I sent out, I mentioned my attendance in a program call '12 step'. For those of you who assumed Alcoholics Anonymous--You can all breath a sigh of relief. When I first started to tell people about the program, I didn't realize that their minds may jump to the all too familiar 'AA'. Oh, well. I'm not an alcoholic. </div>

12 step is a Christian, self help/recovery/inner healing program that, I suppose, does reflect many of the same values as 'AA'. I didn't take time in my last update to explain more about the program because, frankly, I was unsure how to explain it. I think I have a better idea now that I'm approaching my 7th week of attending. Basically, as you progress through the '12 steps' (one step a week), there are several questions that you must answer and then share said answers with the group. The questions are aimed to cause you to look deep into your life, and hopefully, by your answer, provide some kind of healing and perspective on why your life is or is not 'messed' up. </div>

Snow started to fall here yesterday. I should have taken a picture but no, I didn't There's something magical about the first snow. The temperature is still high enough for objects to be damp which the snow takes advantage of by sticking to them. This is most impressive on trees. White branches sparkling in the warm glow of dawning sun. Maybe it's jus me but when I see snow, I feel complete. I feel like I am on top of the world and impervious to any opposition. One of my favourite things in the world to do is to drive through a blizzard at night without snow tires while listening to German Christmas music. Best feeling in the world. It fills me with nostalgic feelings of childhood. Somehow, my memory tells me that everything was OK when that mysterious, white substance was on the ground. </div>

However, at this particular moment in time, it's bittersweet. Although I love the snow, it's presence means that work is coming to an end. There aren't many campground related jobs to do in the winter. Last year at this time, I was working for Landmark Builders. Great company and I loved working for them. Anyway, I've been working for them during the last 3 weeks but that is starting to wind down now. Or is it? I don't know. They don't give me much information in advance. I'm trying to find some more work to help me save up for my trip in January. I can't believe how soon January is!</div>

I'm trying to work as much as I can and save money. I think i'm doing pretty well. I only need about $10,000 for my trip. I have just about all of my camera gear now. All my lenses! I picked the last one up last weekend. I made the decision that I would leave for this trip even if the money hasn't fully come in. I know that this is what God has for me at this point in my life and I think I need to take a risk and go with it. Although, if I really am convinced that this is what God has for me, where's the risk? Exactly. Maybe there is no risk. But I think we will always feel some kind of risk as long as we are not completely trusting in God. Many of us don't get to be in that place but we MUST always strive for it. If anything, our RISK is a gage to our TRUST. TRUST enough to RISK and RISK enough to TRUST. </div>

I found out where the school starts! Bogotaaaá, Colombia! I have to be there on the 5th of January. I've been looking into flights and they are a lot more expensive than I thought they would be. Lame.</div>

I'm trying not to freak out about leaving in less than 2 months. Yes, the money is a factor but also i'm being overwhelmed by it as a whole. I feel like there is so much to do and not enough time to do it in. Again…… TRUST.</div>

I’m still preparing to leave in January for my 18-month trip
around the world. There are a few
things to tell since my last update.
Including: I have purchased
my new Camera Body! I ended up
buying a used Canon 5d Mark II.
Very nice camera and I’m confident that it was the best possible camera
for me at this point in my life. I’m
working on tracking down the remaining lenses I need for the trip. I’m getting everything used because I
can’t afford to buy it new. Used
can be just as good. </div>

I have started going to a program called 12 step at a local church. (More on that later)</div>

Other than that, I have been working trying to save as much
money as I can. I still have to
raise about $13,000, which is a lot of money but for some reason I feel
confident it will all come in! I
have been able to save about $23,000 over the last year and a half. I’m pretty happy with that. Still, I
have a long way to go. I should
have constant work up till mid November and I’m not sure what I will do for
money from mid November till the end of December. God knows. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I was planning on having a bike-a-thon to raise money for
the trip but it turned out to be a major flop. I couldn’t get enough people to take part. A few people did join in and that was a
huge blessing so, thanks guys! We
raised about $300 from that and about $200 from a car wash a few months
ago. Everything helps!</div>

This has been a very short update. I will be sure to update
you on news as it happens and my general thoughts on the trip as I have
them. </div>

Thanks again for all your prayers and support.</div>

The truth is that there just hasn't been much to report. Currently, I am working at my parents campground and... that's about it! However, I finally have something to report! <br /><br />On January 1st, 2012 I will be embarking on an 18 month mission of love and justice. I have joined a ministry of Youth With A Mission Called Photogenx. My intension is to use photography and other elements of digital media to expose global social injustice that is being overlooked or underexposed. Presently, digital media is the most powerful source of information and awakening to the realities of this world. The world is full of voices; some quiet; some loud. Who will listen to the ones that need to be heard? This journey is not just for me or even them. Ultimately, this journey and sacrifice is for the Glory of God. When Jesus left the earth He didn't request of us, but commended that we love one another--take care of the widowed and the poor. We MUST let our love for others be greater than the love we have for ourselves.<br /><br />What compels you? My church just finished a youth camp where the words "I MUST" was their theme. It is taken from Luke 2:49: "Why were you searching for me?" he asked. "Didn't you know I had to be in my Father's house?" What do you think of that? I think that Jesus was almost surprised that Mary wasn't expecting Him to be at the temple. I mean, it is Jesus so how surprised could he have been but.... Jesus is saying: "Why were you looking for me? Don't you know that I MUST be about my Father's business?" Does that make sense? <br />I haven't been able to stop thinking about it these past few days. The great commission hasn't changed. What is God's 'business' for you? There is so much opposition to face as I am preparing to step out into this journey God has for me but-- through everything, I feel and I say "I MUST". I MUST reach out, I MUST be about my Father's business, I MUST love, I MUST be a voice to those who have none. <br /><br />Think about it.<br /><br />I will be traveling for 12 months to each of the 6 inhabitable continents to engage with the community, serve in outreach projects and fight against social injustice relevant to each region of the world. After the 12 months of travel our team will undertake a massive debrief time wherein we will compile our experiences, stories, service, photos, interviews, and data. As a team we will create a professional publication about the issue(s) of social injustice we feel need to be brought into the global spotlight. The last month of this mission will be spent in various parts of the world doing speaking engagements to increase awareness, incite action and raise funds to fight these issues through the sale and distribution of our publication. <br /><br />The mission is a combination of training, outreach and activism. We are engaging with countries on every continent with the express purposes of gaining a Godly, global perspective of the people and cultures of the world; to experience firsthand the issues facing the poor, needy and oppressed worldwide; to grow in Biblical truth, knowledge and understanding; to serve the people everywhere we go; to generate relationships and share the Lord with people around the world; to understand God's heart toward injustice and His desire to see it end; to create a publication used to increase awareness; and to raise our voices to fight on behalf of the abused, overlooked and neglected.<br /><br />I am asking for all of you to be praying for me and my team as we are preparing ourselves for this journey. Financially, this trip is supported by the people who choose to be apart of it. In all, I need approximately $35,000. That money will go to airfare, accommodations, equipment, insurances, visas, etc. As of now I have $18,286.00. I have worked hard to save this money and I am very passionate about where it's going. I am asking to you to please pray and consider supporting me through prayer or ever finances.<br /><br />If you want to hear more or get together to talk about it, please send me an email and we'll plan something! <br /><br />I am so blessed and fortunate to have all of you behind me--supporting my every step!<br /><br /><br /><br />God Bless<br />Brendan Daniel Serez<br />brenserez@gmail.com<br /><br />"Why were you searching for me?" he asked.
