We are in Tororo! <3 This city is precious. The people are welcoming, humble, and love unconditionally. Being here for only a few days has already changed my perspective on basically everything. No matter how many words I use to describe this place, it would never be accurate. We have been partnering with Deliverance Church to do door to door evangelism and other types of ministry. This church has partnered with Compassion International, which is AWESOME! As soon as I found this out, I asked about my little sponsored boy, Nehemiah. He isn’t at this Compassion base, however. He is...

Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that after 20+ hours of flying, layovers, etc.. by way of Atlanta, Boston, Amsterdam and Entebbe we’re safely in Kampala, Uganda! Tonight the team is camping out in an African hostel and will be on our way tomorrow.   That’s all I can say now, we have 25 minutes before the computers shut down and there’s a line behind me for the computers, God is ready to do crazy things here and put us in crazy situations, including but not limited to     –Trekking the desert brush in Kenya with giraffes and all the other...

I am in complete awe that God choose me to come and witness to those who are lost. Since the beginning of training camp, I’ve been open which is unnatural to me but definitely the way to be. I can not believe how easy it is to let God take control and to show people who I really am. It’s been an healing experience for me and I didn’t really expect it to be. I can’t believe I’m here serving God and His people, actually I can’t believe I made it here period. Now, every struggle and obstacle I’ve faced thus far makes complete sense. I’m not...

Training Camp has been amazing. We leave in less than 30 minutes to head to the airport. The thought that I will be in Africa in less than 24 hours makes me SO excited. Probably the most excited I have ever been. Friday we met all the “Real Lifers” (Adventures In Missions name for College Aged Missionaries) at the airport. My specific team instantly bonded! From there we were off to a homeless shelter in downtown Atlanta for the night. There is 154 of us who are at training camp. All different teams going to all different places around the world from India, Israel, Bolivia,...

Imagine roaming the streets of Atlanta for the first time. Imagine that you are roaming the streets of Atlanta in the dark. Imagine roaming the streets of Atlanta, waiting for God to show up. This was my experience the first night of training camp. Instead of heading to Gainsville, our team spent the night in Atlanta at the “Safe House.” After an awesome worship time, we were given an assignment. We were given $8 and told to touch the life of someone on the streets of Atlanta. We were PUMPED.   So, we headed out! Our team of 9 set of on the streets of the Atlanta searching...

I’m Malisa. I’m on this trip because I crave adventure. Because I think my life is too easy and the fullness of God has been unrevealed in my easy life. I’m a senior at Georgia Tech in Atlanta and I’ve been following Christ for three years now. I’m on a trek through Africa to find who I am and who God is. I’m about to turn 21 and I’m just now discovering what I care about!  And what I care about is the Lord. And his work. And finding out things about his character that I refuse to take down into my soul. Things that God believes about me that...
