 Jambo! (Swahili for Hello)   My team and I have spent the last three and a half days in Georgia being equipped with the training and knowledge that we are going to make a lasting impact in Kenya. The last few days have been eye-opening and spiritually challenging, as I have had to deal with many areas of my life I had yet to fully surrender to the Lord.

When first arriving at Atlanta, I was able to meet the rest of the team and we were able to...

Hey all, Today is my first official blog!  I am going to talk a little bit about what God has done so far.  Our training camp is a 4 day camp where my team of 16 (plus two leaders) and around 140 other college aged students bond.  There are around 10 different countries that are going to be touched by God through these groups such as Peru, Uganda, India, and Kenya.  God is doing great things by bringing all of these individuals together for one purpose.    To share God’s LOVE.  After training, we are leaving tonight to stay the night in the Atlanta...
