Lion Of Judah….

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...

Lions, Tigers and Bears

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...

Silence myself.

Psalm 37:7 Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for Him.. God has shown me I just need to wait. I need to silence myself and let God take control. No matter how or what is going on I just need to wait. I need to sit back and wait for what He has in store for me. I may feel like He isn’t going to be there or he is far from me but I know He is always there, When I feel like He is gone it is because I have walked away from Him. I need to completely rely on God not on my friends or family and know He is always there.  Psalm 139:9-10 If I...

Surrender

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.    ...

When God speaks, I want to listen.

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...
