Amazingly Awkward

Training Camp

The past few days have been an intersting mix of awkward and amazing. We have been going through all of the awkward "get to know you" stuff with our teammates, but at the same time experiencing amazing encounters with God. If training camp is any indication of what is to come once we are in Kenya, it will be nothing short of absolutly increadable!

Being Pursued

Training Camp

Before coming on the trip my heart was hardened. My community was drifting and my life was a blur of change. Rather than pressing into the Lord for comfort and hope I chose to press into worldly things. I knew the Lord had something big for me in asking me to come on this trip but I had no idea how quickly He would act. Coming in I was appathetic and maybe even a little bittter toward my relationship with the Lord. I naively though I could hold onto my own stubborn and selfish desires. It's crazy how fast the Lord can act when He wants to. In the matter...

Blessed

Training camp so far has been a great experience for me. I just wanna update you guys on a couple things the Lord has really been putting on my heart these past couple of days. One of the biggest things Hes taught me is that my past doesnt define who I am as person and wont have control over my life. I'm not going to let things of the past hover over me like a dark cloud. I am his child and He pours his grace, kindness, mercy and love aroud me each and everyday. For a long time in my life i always that when situations occur and i dont hear from the Lord that he wasnt there helping...

KENYA bound tomorrow!

After much anticipation, I finally arrived in Atlanta, Georgia on June 1st for the Passport training camp. There are over 200 participants going all over the world so I was thankful that we all had to wear team colors which made it easy to spot and meet others. All of my teammates have been very nice and are a lot of fun to be around. I am definitely looking forward to getting to know each of them over these next two months! (There are 23 of us..19 girls and 4 guys!) On the first full day of training camp our team leaders were told to act like a tribe that didn't...

Ken-ya Go Now?!?

Training camp has been a blast! I've been having such a wonderful time getting to know my teammates but I am so ready to GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! I have no idea how I'm going to fit all my stuff back in my suitcase but it's gunna have to happen soon cause we leave tomorrow! I'm so ready for this journey!

Kenya, here we come!

I’ve been at Toccoa Falls College (middle of nowhere) for the past 3 days for training camp and I couldn't ask for anything better. My team consists of 19 girls and 4 boys. Our team is EXTREMELY loud (so I fit right in), goofy, and so full of laughter. I was really nervous about meeting my teammates and the awkward moments that would lie ahead as we got to know each other but I have never become so close to so many people in such a short time. I can feel God’s presence within our team and how His love just pours out of each team member. ...
