a little update

I just spoke with Pastor Simon, our host in Kenya, and the team is doing really well.  Unfortunately they haven’t had internet yet, thus no blogs have been posted.  Upon arrival into Kijabe they went immediately out to do ministry in the bush, with the Masaai tribe for a week.  They’re diving right in and getting a quick immersion into Kenyan culture!  Pastor Simon said that things are going really well and that the team is even able to follow up with some of the relationships that past Real Life teams built.  We look forward to when they’re able...

arrived in Kenya

Hello family and friends of Team Kenya.  We just wanted to let you know that we received a call from the leaders and the team has made it safely to Kenya.  They are with their host in Kijabe and all is well. We look forward to hearing from them in a few days once they get settled in.  Thank you for your prayers and support for them.

Stealing joy.

To say that I have gone on an adventure would be an understatement. From the moment I arrived God has shown up in all sorts of ways. To make a long story short: Marta. Heavy luggage. Safe house of Atlanta. Ministering until 2:15 in the morning. God showed up! On our second night I wasn’t whole heartedly worshipping like I normally do. I had taken some time to pray but wasn’t getting anywhere until one of the staff, Michelle came and started praying and singing over me. She then told me that something was affecting my worship and I had no idea what. Seeking further I found that...

I’m PURE?

24 more hours. It’s so surreal. The moment I’ve been waiting for for months on end is finally here. May I first begin by attempting to express my love for these 10 other young people that I have the honor of calling my teammates. If I honestly get to spend 3 months with these people, every hour of every day, I don’t think I could ever get tired of it. God has specifically placed each one of them on this team with me for a reason and every 24 hours I get to spend with them, I begin to realize what that purpose is. The girls are unified sisters. The boys, our protectors and...

Fried Oreos and Yellow Slides

Break my heart for what breaks Yours.  This has been a phrase that has bombarded my every thought, prayer, and even found its way onto my funraising t-shirts. However, it has gained a new meaning to me in the past few days while I’ve been in Gainsville, GA for training camp before we leave for Kenya. I’ve actually been prompted to act on this plea. I can’t tell you how uncomfortable and just plain weird the past four days have been, but I wouldn’t change them for the world. So far on this journey I have found my way through Atlanta to a random address with all...

Breathing FREEDOM.

  All sorts of walls we thought we couldn’t move came crashing down.  A lot of intense things have been happening here at AIM Training Camp.  It is so sweet to see how God is breaking each of us.  I never even thought how many things were holding me back until God unleashed me and made me realize I was free! Free from pain. Free from shame. Free from every single thing that was keeping me back. I think every single participant here has gone through the same feelings this week.   One major story that really shook me was during a worship session.(Ps....
