God Speaks

The first time I heard someone tell me that God spoke to them I truly thought it was a joke. How could God speak to us? I have never witnessed God speaking through my life.UNTIL, I was reminded in a session at training camp called,“God speaking,” that he speaks to us all the time, we just need to listen! After the session, someone came up to me to tell me “God is speaking in your life, just listen.” That was the last day of training camp. Monday night we all gathered together to worship the God we serve. As I began to cry out to the Lord, Ruthann came to me...

Life on the Field

We have arrived in Kenya! We have been living in Kijabe with Pastor Simon and his wife Margret. Today we leave and are heading out to the bush. Our team will be living with the Massaai tribe! I am so excited to spend time with them! We will be doing youth and young child outreach along with door to door ministry. Another tribe I know we will be staying with is the Pokot. In church sunday, we learned that the Pokot tribe is "in salved by the culture". They do not know Swahili and they do not go to school. The Pokot tribe is "trapped in their culture". Pastor...

We just spoke with the team leaders and they've all arrived safely in Kenya. They are in route to their ministry site and will be settling in these next few days and getting some orientation from their host. Expect to see some blogs rolling out in the next few days as they find internet. Thanks for all the prayers for this team! The Passport field support team

Everything I Expected and More

Training Camp

I came to camp expecting to build a relationship with my teammates, grow closer to God, and to have fun. Much to my delight this is exactly what has happened. Since the time that we meet at the airport, my teammates and I have spent nearly every minute together laughing and getting to know each other. It has been cool to me that although we have never meet before we have very quickly become a family. It is only possible because of our shared love of Christ and our heart to serve the people of Kenya. I am so excited for the months ahead as we...

God Wants To Talk To Me? WHAT?!

Training Camp

Coming to training the only thing I expected was preparation for Kenya. Instead, I got a little chat from God. Before I could never tell if God was talking to me or if my brain was talking to myself… That makes me sounds like a crazy person, but I’m sure you’ve thought of that too, right? Wednesday I asked my leader “How do you know when God is talking to you.” She gave me a pretty good answer, but I was still a tad confused. Also, I was convinced that God just didn’t want to...

Training Camp

At training camp I expected to learn a lot about the culture and what type of ministry we would be doing in Kenya. Instead, training camp was about preparing our hearts and getting rid of baggage in our lives before we stepped into our missions field. I am looking forward to witnessing miracles, healing and prosperity. I am so excited to love on children and serve the people! I know God has great plans for everyone on my team. We are going into Kenya with characteristics of a warrior. My prayer is that God is going to use us to break chains of brokenness and burdens, the chain of sin...
