     “Well are you all going to sing me a song?” I looked around at my group. We were all a little surprised by the question. It was 1:30am and 30 degrees on the streets of downtown Atlanta, and in nearly 3 and 1/2 hours we had managed to meet a variety of people. We met 3 women who were waiting after work together to catch the midnight bus, a jazz player who entertained us with worship songs on his trumpet, an alchoholic who could’ve talked to us all night about his “Big God”, and another man who just wanted food or a little...

“I am the good shepherd; I know my own and my own know me. … The sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. … He goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.” (Jn 10:14, 3-4)     God speaks. Don’t believe it? I pray that this will help shatter a bit of that doubt. I have known and heard the Lord’s voice prior to training camp, but never to the extent that I have experienced it here. The Lord spoke to our group through a set of challenges and Shoeshine. Allow me to explain with the...

Eventually we all choose between what’s right and what’s easy. This is so true and are now the words that my team members wear on their shirts. The easiest thing to do is nothing, but we are ALL called to follow the Great Commission. Matthew 28:16-20 “Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authroity in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of...

   So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him. – Luke 11:13   I have never see the Holy Spirit move so much as I have in the past four days.  It’s not becuase He doesn’t move, but because we are so focused on ourselves that we forget to ask Him to move in our hearts.  It has been so amazing to see the spiritual gifts that some of these people here have been blessed with and how they are trying to master the gift that God has given...

Long story short…I missed my first flight Monday morning. Everything worked out just fine and I was able to catch a later flight. As I flew into the Atlanta airport, I could only wonder what my team was doing. Were they still in the airport? Had they left for training camp? The first few hours seemed so important to me when meeting my team, I was worried I had missed some of the team bonding God would. After a smooth flight I headed over to grab my luggage and find the atrium to meet up with everyone. Upon arriving I was so thankful to see that the groups had not left the airport...
