Training Camp

I am sitting at the airport in Atlanta, waiting to fly out for my new home for four months, Kijabe, Kenya. A sense of apprehension is setting over me, not quite enough to affect me, but, a degree of it nonetheless. The Lord did tremendously powerful things the last few days at training camp. People were encouraged, renewed, comforted, and, constantly reminded of how much they are loved, how much they are meant to be here, to be used by God during the coming months. Truth was spoken, again and again, over the trip participants, myself included. Experiences that were...

His word

In preparation for my journey, God has really disciplined me on how to stay in His word. Throughout the week, I've been extremely swayed by a lot of things that are not truth: fear, insecurity, doctrine, etc. I was forced to realize that in world where a bunch of things are out of whack, His holy nature is the only thing that prevails and stands strong, true, and good. That's all I can write cause I ran out of time.

So, training camp is almost over! Tonight is the last night of training camp and we leave bright and early tomorrow morning. As much as I'm not excited about the almost 30 hours of travel to get to Kenya, I'm equally as excited to see Kenya! When we first arrived at training camp, I was a little agitated to be here, honestly. It was all a bit anticlimactic to me. I got all excited and pumped up to go on this great adventure and left my family… only to go to Georgia for a few days. I was like, seriously?… because I signed up for Kenya, not...

Training Camp

This weekend has been exhausting, exhilirating, exciting, and insanely fun. Training camp has been a roller coaster of emotions for myself and my teammates. I have made 14 beautiful friends who I cannot wait to spend the next four months with, and I have witnessed God's presence multiple times. We have been doing everything, from running around downtown Atlanta on a Friday night to role-playing a tribe encounter. We have heard many testimonies from previous participants, and we have been educated on our destination's culture and traditions. At the...

Hello all, My name is Neal Montgomery, I was one of the two leaders on this past semesters trip to Kenya. I would like to upload a photo, but I can't find the cord since I am still living out of my backpack for a little longer. I hope you are all doing well and are enjoying getting to find out how your loved ones have changed through the course of these three months. It has been an amazing season for me, I loved getting to know everyone on the team. It may take some time to see all the changes that have happened but here are a few things that have been encouraging to me. I have seen my...
