TITC (This is Training Camp)

“How beautiful upon the mountain are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news of happiness, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion ‘Your God reigns.’ The voice of your watchmen – they lift up their voice; together they sing for joy; for eye to eye they see the return of the Lord to Zion. Break forth together into singing you waste places of Jerusalem for the Lord has comforted His people; He has redeemed Jerusalem. The Lord has bared His holy arm before the eyes of all the nations, and all the ends of the earth shall see the...

The beginning of the rest of my life

Training camp has been as amazing experience! I had no idea what this part of the trip was going to look like but it has trulyset me in efire for what we will be doing in Africa. I have seen the Lord working in so many ways. The worship is just incredible and inspiring and unlike anything I have ever experienced. I have learned how o surrender all of my fears and worries and concerns and burdens, and how to truly open up to people. I am realizing how much I am in need of my savior and how completely broken I am without Him and I am loving every minute of it! I know that I have to be broken...

The Lion of Judah is Thundering Deep

Training camp has taught me how to be free in Christ. Jesus is breaking chains that have been holding me down my entire life.

I’m so ready to get out in the field and heal the sick, break chains and bring hope. Open the floodgates...

Power in our footsteps

“The Kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power” 1 Corinthians 4:20 This verse has been pressing on me for these last couple days at camp. I wasn’t entirely sure why this resonated with me so strongly…of course we all believe that the Kingdom of God is about more than talking–that’s why we’re all here! A group of crazy college kids getting ready to walk in truth and spread truth. But I’ve seen this verse is about more than simply ‘walking the walk’, so to speak, but that, in walking, the power of God comes with us....

Power in Number

For the last three months Ive told myself that my team was the least important aspect of this mission trip. While I was prepared to grow close to this group of people through shared experiences, I never realized how quickly we would become brother and sister in Christ. This weekend has been very intense and has begun to prepare me for a summer full of change and adventure. I have seen God work and heard His voice more in the last 72 hours than in the last three months. I feel like this is because I am surrounded by young adults who are so thirsty so hungry for the Lord that they are...
