What do you think of when you think of the word surrender? – To give up? – To let go of everything? – To make a complete 180 and turn around from where you were. Those are all great answers and maybe you have more or just your own wotch is fine. These four days have been the most carzy, amazing, LIFE CHANGING four days of my life. These days have really made me think and mde my heart really broken for what God has called me to do. I did not expect traning camp to be this intsense and trul amazing. My first thought of traing camp was it was going to be a class room...

Reflection

Well, this is new. I haven’t had a diary in a long while so I will just do my best with this whole blogging thing. What did I expect out of training camp? HA. I had actually looked at a World Race training camp blog before I camp here; I saw fish head soup, tents and a lot of hiking. That didn’t seem so bad at first besides the fish head soup, but then we got to Atlanta and I realized it was still freezing down here, so the idea of tents and hiking began to bring worry as well. However, when I got to the camp I was relieved to recieve normal food, a cabin to sleep in, and...

“Be still and know that I am God.” Psalm 46:10 People that have come before me have all told me the same thing, “training camp will break you.” My first thought was fear. “What do you mean BREAK ME?” What will they do? How will I handle it? Will I even want to continue my journey and fulfill my calling to Africa? Am I even being called to Africa? These questions have run through my head over and over again. That is the most accurate statement I have heard in a very long time. Training camp DID break me. Between worship, fellowship, and stepping...

Training Camp

Before coming to training camp I thought that I had surrendered everything to God, but over the past couple of days God has been showing me that it is not only the physical things in our lives that we need to surrender, but also our emotions. Through out my life I have always struggled with hurt, sadness and personal thoughts about myself that has brought me down. God has shown me that I don’t NEED to feel the pain and suffering of being in these prisons and that I can be free of these hurts and be fulled completely with his unconditional love and desire for us. But He...

The Beginning

Field Support

I am currently only on day three of training camp, not even in Africa yet, and God has already begun to work on changing my heart, on growing and stretching me in my faith, and on pressing me to do, say, and believe things I would never have dreamed of before. Thursday night, I thought I knew what to expect spiritually. I thought I knew who I would become and who I’d be at the end of this African adventure. I’ve discovered, however, that God’s intentions are far greater and more extravagant than I could have ever imagined. ...
