We want to be effective, we want to be productive, we want to take the burden and not be burdensome. This is the cry of the heart of someone who wants to serve, to be the hands and feet of Jesus. So we were told that we could help out by washing “a few sheets.” This quickly turned into a soapy situation when this precious child named Issac put the ENTIRE box of detergent into the washing bucket. The few sheets turned into 20 bedding sets and 30 outfits of the children who live at Camp Joshua. We didn’t care, we just wanted to help out. Six rinses and two hours later it was...

Dear Drayton, You are beautiful. You are a princess and I love you. There is no power in heaven or earth that could ever separate you from my love. It is higher than every mountain and deeper than every ocean. I have trained you hands for war. I need you to fight for what I stand for, you are more than capable.

What if you followed The Great I AM, It meant you were risking your everyday, ordinary, livelihood to go into the literal unknown and unexpected? Would...

Radical transformation. Two words that mean you’ve been changed forever. We’ve all seen the shows on TV where someone goes in looking one way, and in a few days or even some months later they leave looking like a completely different person, inside and out. The reactions from others come in all different forms they can scream, cry, jump up and down, or shower them with compliments. In the end the person is always described in the same way: transformed.   The first trip I had taken with AIM was back in the fall of 2010 with the formally known ‘Real Life’...
