I was going to write about our canvas that we made as a team but I can’t get the picture to work. so I’ll just give you an overview. We started with a picture of a tree and a heart wrapped in the roots to symbolize that we are rooted and growing in love where ever we go. the second picture was of a lion to represent our fearlessness as a team. The third was a picture of a man holding a candle to represent the light of god that we want to take with us and give to all the people we come into contact with. Then we drew Africa (obviously). anyways. god is so good. I have started to...

Training Camp

So, we are off to Africa tomorrow, which I couldn’t be more excited about!! Training Camp has been pretty intense. It has been a lot different than what I am used to with respect to worshiping God and how people communicate and hear from God. Needless to say, it has been a bit of a struggle, but I am very thankful that I have this opportunity and can’t wait to grow in my relationship with God over the next 4 months. To be honest..I am just really excited to see the culture and the beautiful people in Africa. I have wanted to go to Africa...

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...

I had no idea why training camp was going to be so long. How many days in a row could they possibly tell us about the countries we are headed for? Were they going to teach us about culture or just how to be socially acceptable? Was this going to be like a class where they just give us history of the countries? I had a million questions about training camp. I didn’t have any idea what this camp would look like or even where I would be sleeping. I made the decision before coming to just give it to God, knowing I had to do that over the next four...

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

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. ...
