God Wants To Talk To Me? WHAT?!

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...

“KEN YA” believe we’re going to Africa?!

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...

ONE MORE DAY UNTIL AFRICA!

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...

We have reached the Mother Land… Or Close Enoiugh

So even though I'm on a plane on my way home I'm gonna try to do a quick fill-in of my past 2 weeks.  Last week we went to Challenge Farm in Kitale. The easiest way to explain it is like a boarding school for street kids, buts it's a home. Mama Cheri started it in 1992 and now they have over 130 kids. I made great friends with 3 girls named Maggy, Diana, and Alice. Everyday they wrote me notes about how much they loved me and that I was like a mother to them. Needless to say, when we left, it broke my heart when they started crying as I told them goodbye.  Saturday...

2 Corinthians 5:17

"Therefore is anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation; old things have passed away, and look, new things have come."      This probably sums up my entire trip. At the beginning I had a heart with bandaids on it and now there is a healing heart with only a few scars, but the heart is beating like a whole new organ.      I have seen people go from doing drugs, to throwing themo n the ground and accepting Christ. My eyes have seen hope in the eyes of the hopeless on the streets, healing in the sick, thankfulness in those who have...

Wholly in Love

Fear as held me back from so many things in my life. It has kept me back from trying out for sports, branching out, almost kept me at home from this trip,realtionships I've had with people,and mostly in my relationship with the Lord.I came on this trip knowing that i was in need of a change in my life. My relationship with the Lord was summed up by me going to Him only when it was convient for me. I was spiritually dead.  I still remember the first couple days and the how the Lord shattered this idea of how i thought my relationship with Him should be like. For most of my life,I...
