training camp has been intense. i have struggled so much with leaving behind everything that i am used to, all comfort. but God keeps reassuring me that with this comes change. i want to grow in love for Him. i want to draw closer to and follow harder after Him. i can’t handle all of this without Him. and i think this is the best place i could be right now. luke 18:27-29 says this:   “He said, ‘the things which are impossible with men are possible with God.’ then peter said, ‘see, we have left all and followed You.’ so He said to them,...

I don’t have much time, so I’m going to try to make this quick! In the process of doing so I might skip a lot of details; bear with me! So, Friday afternoon I arrived in ATL. I met my team and figured we’d soon be heading to training camp. Instead we were given $20 and some instructions: get to the 89 Ellis Street, Atlanta GA. The task was simple, but exciting. The excitement of meeting of everyone in person for the first time, taking a train through the amazing city (Yes, I love the city, graffiti and all), and realizing I packed too much stuff as I trekked from location...

 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. I have been keeping a journal and each day writing a list of cool things that we did each day….and I seriously have filled it UP! 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...

AHHHHHH!!!! God is So Great! He has been rocking my world the past few days! I have been at training camp for the past few days and am headed out to Kenya in the morning (we are heading to the airport tonight actually). So God has been teaching me a lot. Two days ago as we entered out night session we were handed an egg. We were told to hang out to this egg all night until told differently. We then invited to pray a while a figure out the thing (or things) God wants us to surrender. We were handed markers and told to write the things we need to surrender on the egg. I wrote lots of...

WOW so were leaving tonight, flying out of Atlanta. I’ve been doing the training camp since friday and now we’re finally off. Its pretty amazing! Everything has been amazing! i feel like I’ve been gone for weeks already but it’s one been a couple days! ..were not even in Africa yet!   My team is beautiful. I’m so excited to get out on the field and live it out with them. I just want unity so bad for our team and I really feel like God’s blessed us with that already. Everyone’s heart is so pure. Everyone puts God first and that’s so...
