“But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever. Amen!” – 2 Peter 3:18 “Growth.” The word that has always struck me with power. But it hasn’t been until recently that I have realized that it is a word that can only be defined in Christ. My life has recently been filled with Jesse attempting to let her heart grow in beautiful directions. Despite this beautiful intention, I slowly realized that I was not moving in a direction toward the Lord. If anything, I was moving in the wrong...

We Are More Than Conquerors

My Father calls me to surrender all I have and all that I am so that He can do with me what He will. My experience at training camp has been one of surrender! Giving all of me in order to receive all that God wants to equip me with, and then pouring that out on others. God is so good and provides true freedom. The Lord has increased my joy, my passion for the lost, and my excitement to get on that plane tomorrow and GO. He has provided for me through my leaders and the members on my team. He has placed us together for great reasons and His power will be displayed...

WE ARE COMING.

For the past four days we have been in the beautiful mountains of Taccoa Falls, GA at Training Camp. This is where team members came from across the US to meet and prepare for the mission field. I’ll be honest, my emotions on my way to camp were very comparable to dread. The main source of this emotion was the thought of the unknown. Luckily, God has slowly changed my heart and as we prepare to leave for Africa in just a few short hours, I know we are ready to bring Jesus to the nations. Training camp is quite tiring… We have two lovely leaders, Eric and...

You should know that I love the extreme. If I see a river I want to swim in it. If I see a fast car I want to race it. I love living in the moment and jumping headlong into things. But I was in no way ready to fully realize how extreme God wants to be with me before this trip started. Despite being a Chiristian for all my life, I had never fully surrendered to Him. I had never just opened myself and told God that He was free to come in and do whatever the heck He wanted in me. Whatever He wanted to do with me. And I finally said that at camp this week. For the first time in my life I...

Wait…I can DO THAT?!

Training Camp has come to a close and all I can say is “Thank You, Jesus!” This is hardly because I’m glad it’s over- more so because I’ve been trained, equipped, anointed, blessed, taught, and loved here. He is so good…SO GOOD! When I was leaving home, I felt extremely ill-equipped. Thoughts like, “How am I going to carry all of my stuff for miles across Eastern Africa”, “How will I be bold enough to speak the name of Jesus to people who have never heard it?” and many others, both serious and simple, flooded my heart and...

Training to become Amazing

Training Camp

Training camp so far has taught us so much. It is really preparing us to go out and do the best mission we can. So far I have learned that we are basically going to do evangelism. That first scared the crap out of me. Like am I good enough to go spread God’s love and word? I really struggled with that thought. With my group we prayed together and talked a bunch. We are all good enough because we have God to equip us on the field. What really got to me here is the true worship. You will never know what worship is until you do it with a room full of 200 God fearing people. It...
