My Hands are Tied

Inspiring

Its only been three days since I arrived in Atlanta and already my world has been rocked. You see, I’m not exactly “new” to the ideas of living in community or missions or AIM, and yet, I have SO much more to learn. I’ve always thought of myself as averagely useful. I don’t mind hard work and I genuinely like to make people happy through acts of service. That’s always been the way I show the love of Christ, the way I could comfortably minister to those around...

Um, what, wait?

Reflection

“A man’s steps are directed by the Lord. How then can anyone understand his own way?” –Proverbs 20:24 This has rocked my world. I can’t even fathom the fact that God has created the universe, what makes me think I can begin to understand what the Lord has in store for me? I can honestly say that training camp has not been at all what I thought it was going to be. I’m not even sure I knew what it would be though. I’ve learned more about myself in the last 3 days then I ever thought possible. I’m already learning...

Expedition 3

“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...

When God speaks, I want to listen.

Training Camp

What a rush. Training camp has been CRAZY! for real. It is amazing to see the hearts of everyone here. That their passion is to go to these nations and serve the Lord. These past few days feel like years. My team is my family, short and simple and God has been working in my life in indescribable ways. For one of the first times I am truly understanding the POWER of the Holy Spirit. The POWER of Jesus name, that simply speaking out His name can change the world. Regardless of any challenges we face the name of Jesus will hold strong. This time of training has truly been...

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. ...
