My first couple days of training camp have been full of many new experiences. From rolling my two suitcases down the streets of Atlanta, to being spit in the face by the “natives” we were attempting to evangelize to, its been real fun to say the least.  One of our first true tasks at training camp though was to go out and evangelize to people on the streets. It was really the first challenge we had to start stepping out of our boxes and doing things most of our group had never done before.  We were split up into small groups and eventually given a dollar that we...

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...

(This is a painting our team made to express what God was putting our hearts when we thought of the nation of Kenya.) When I arrived in Atlanta, I could not wait for the training to get over and get to Kenya.  I just wanted to get there and begin the journey God had in store for me.  I felt prepared to do what God was asking of me and was ready to see how God was going to change me through the experience.  Therefore, I looked at training as a means to an end.  At first I was not thrilled about it.  We did things that got me out of my comfort zone and I did not see...

Hello from Georgia everyone!      I’m so excited to write my first blog! So the first night we stayed in Atlanta and I definitely got more than I expected.     First regret: packing a bag that is bigger than I am and finding out soon after arriving that I will actually be carrying it through the streets of hot and humid Atlanta. (I guess you were right about the packing too much thing Mom)     After walking we arrived at a place called the Safehouse and were then told we would be going out into the streets of Atlanta that night to...

Hello all! My name is Sam Thomsen and I am from the state of Nebraska.  In case you do not know your geography, Nebraska is right in the middle of the United States.  The state is known for Husker football, corn, and the land being extremely flat.  If you have never visited I recommend you make a journey.  It will blow your mind! (Okay, I may be exaggerating…haha!)  Anyways…a little about myself.  I am 22 years old and graduated this last May from Nebraska Wesleyan University. (Which is a small university in the capital, Lincoln.)  I...
