When I told everyone back home in Ohio that I would be at training camp for one week in Georgia, I bet they were picturing what I had been picturing for so long. Sleeping in a nice building, eating lots of food, being clean the whole week before we left, and especially being comfortable. This week has been none of those things, but for so many reasons this week has been so much more. The Adventures in Mission's staff have trained us physically, mentally and most importantly spiritually.
God has been so evident in every moment of this week whether it was trying to sleep in the middle of a field with only a tarp and a sleeping bag, quieting our hearts before the Lord to hear His voice, using our voices to scream praises to Jesus Christ during worship sessions, trying to kill twenty-million spiders with our shoes, or spending time laughing and crying with this AMAZING Kenya team. God is just SO good all the time!
Tomorrow we'll leave for the airport at 7am, and we'll spend the whole day there until our flight leaves at 5pm for Amsterdam. I can't believe that we're finally leaving, and I can't wait to see what God has in store for this trip. Thanks for all the prayers! I definitely feel them!
Africa here we come…
