Hello everyone!  As our time is winding down in training camp, one thing remains on my mind.  We are a strong community of believers with the desire to change the world!  My favorite part of training camp has been spending time with so many believers with the same goals for this summer.  This lifts me up when I am down and keeps me going when I want to give up.  I have been struggling with my identity in Christ on my trip.  What I mean by that is I am struggling with knowing God’s plan for my life specifically  this summer.  Many people have...

Training camp has been as amazing experience! I had no idea what this part of the trip was going to look like but it has trulyset me in efire for what we will be doing in Africa. I have seen the Lord working in so many ways. The worship is just incredible and inspiring and unlike anything I have ever experienced. I have learned how o surrender all of my fears and worries and concerns and burdens, and how to truly open up to people. I am realizing how much I am in need of my savior and how completely broken I am without Him and I am loving every minute of it! I know that I have to be broken...

In the months preparing for this trip, I had never felt like I had as big of a purpose as I did then. It was deep rooted, overwhelming, and God given. I wasn’t wavering at all. The enemy tried all different things to keep that purpose from being fulfilled, he even got a strong hold on my health. It didn’t matter though, I knew my purpose was bigger than that. My God was bigger than that. Getting to training camp, I was thoroughly excited and ready to be sent, but for some reason over the past few days, my excitement lessened. I had joy and I was learning, but it seemed like the...

I’m feeling great right now.  Anybody from the 60s and early 70s probably knows how I feel right now.  Training camp has been an eye opening experience.  Everything so far has brought me closer to God already and I haven’t even left the states yet.  I super pumped to hit the road jack.    Some of the coolest parts of training camp have been worship.  In the past I haven’t really gotting into worship but here I can’t help but shout because the power of the Holy Spirit is saturating the room.  So many...

God knows. I know it sounds simple and obvious but He knows each of us individually. He knows where we have been, what we struggle with, He knows what holds us back and what encourages us to push on. Nearly everything that has happened at training camp has acted as an arrow, hitting its mark straight and true. God knew what I needed to hear in order to sharpen me into a useful tool in His toolbox.  Worship is incredible. Although we sing the same songs over and over again, and repeat lines over and over again, the words never lose their power. I find the repetition comforting and...

My Father calls me to surrender all I have and all that I am so that He can do with me what He will.  My experience at training camp has been one of surrender! Giving all of me in order to receive all that God wants to equip me with, and then pouring that out on others.  God is so good and provides true freedom.  The Lord has increased my joy, my passion for the lost, and my excitement to get on that plane tomorrow and GO. He has provided for me through my leaders and the members on my team.  He has placed us together for great reasons and His power will be displayed...
