If drama was an emotion

  Drama was my middle name growing up. It was so rooted in my brain that in order to get attention or to feel noticed I would start a little show. Even as a young adult I will catch my self-starting a show, or saying things just to see if people are really noticing me.                Even now, I like to put on a show for God. I like to take what he tells me and run with it in the wrong direction. I like to battle him see if I really need to do what he is telling me to do, or if I could possibly do only half of what he is telling me to...

Learning and Seeing More and More Everyday

2 weeks with the Massiah 2 weeks with the Kikuyu 2 weeks with the Pokot As we just passed midpoint in our trip we have lived with three different Kenyan tribes totalling a time of six weeks. Our ministry has consisted of door to door evangalism, school visits, and teaching. My team and I have seen many people accept Christ and have also been mocked by nonbelievers. God has been doing amazing work in and through us. We have met people who have never heard of Jesus before… its funny beacuse when you tell them its like something clicks, like it all finally makes sense. So the two weeks...

This is life in the bush

The final tribe of our trip was Pokot. It was a 12 hour drive to pretty much the middle of nowhere. It was a warm welcome from the Pastor Moses and some of the church members as soon as we got there. We learned that we would be teaching in the schools for the two weeks we would be there, as well as doing some door to door, and helping with the church programs. We started teaching the second day we were there, and I got to teach 6th and 7th grade math with Allegra. While we were there, I was very challenged to find ministry opportunities no matter what we were doing, and to be obedient to...

I can do nothing without the FATHER

This blog is about the last 4 weeks. First starting in the karati tribe. We did alot of walking door to door and evangelizing. But it was all worth it God was moving and we were following were the holy spirit was going. He lead me and two other girls off the team to this Ladys house. As soon as we walked up all i could notice was the old lady siting out side by her self. A lady came out to greet us an invited us in to her house we went in and took a seat. I asked her if she would like to ask the old mom to come in and sit down with us. She...

Mountaintop Declarations and the Winds of Change

There is darkness here. Everyday at the Pokot tribe, I woke up sensing the darkness all around me even when my teammates couldn't feel it. During Nikki's prayer for spiritual strength on our fourth night with the tribe, I truly felt Satan for the first time in my life. She prayed for the Holy Spirit, and I felt despair, helplessness, and above all else, FEAR. I immediately realized these feelings came from the devil and just how present he is in this place. He was angry about Nikki's prayer and our presence in the tribe because we came to bring the light of Jesus Christ. For...
