Hey all, Today is my first official blog!  I am going to talk a little bit about what God has done so far.  Our training camp is a 4 day camp where my team of 16 (plus two leaders) and around 140 other college aged students bond.  There are around 10 different countries that are going to be touched by God through these groups such as Peru, Uganda, India, and Kenya.  God is doing great things by bringing all of these individuals together for one purpose.    To share God’s LOVE.  After training, we are leaving tonight to stay the night in the Atlanta...

HI HI!   GEORGIA! Yay! Claire and I arrived in Atlanta Friday afternoon to find our Kenya team there! We met our new family for the next two months and really…the rest of our lives. We have all become so close already and the team dynamic is really working out in our favor! Praise Jesus for new friendships and life long memories that are already being made. In preparation for Kenya we are: tenting outside in the hot and humid Georgia heat, eating ethnic food from different countries (some I like annnnd some….not so much. But, I am embracing it), taking COLD showers from...

    In an Atlanta homeless shelter, written in a small corner of the wall, in a room packed of twelve girls and all their two months worth of stuff was a quote that said: “We are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a Holy Nation, a peculiar people, that we should show forth the glory of the one who brought us out of darkness into HIS marvelous light.  In that moment the reality of this trip set in.  We ARE the chosen generation, we will impact the world we were called to serve.  I have learned very quickly that this is the biggest leap I’ve...

A power house we will be for Gods Kingdom! We all have worshiped togeather, sweat togeather in in the humid GA weather, and slept in tents in hopes that the pouring rain doesn’t wash us away 🙂 God is breaking us and forming us to believe in Christ! To believe in Gods power and authority and we can do anything in Christ name!!    

AIM Training Camp.  Whew.  4 Days.  Amazing.  Exciting.  Challenging.  On Saturday night we were all given eggs as we walked into the gym (of sorts) for the evening service and told not to crack them but to keep them on our bodies until we were told what to do next.  We sang and listened to a man speak about surrender really challenging us to leave all of our anxiety about anything and everyone in the States.  Markers were passed around to about 150 of us (going all over the world with AIM) to scribble what we needed to surrender.  When we...
