What a whirlwind these past couple of days have been! God is teaching and showing me so many things about Himself. He is slowly bringing to my attention things that need to be changed in me, so that my character can resemble that of Christ Jesus. I’ve been exposed to different aspects of God that I never really paid any attention to before. Training camp has definitely been an eye-opening experience. We have been at training camp for only a few days now and I already feel so close with my team. I know that these 13 crazy kids will be my family for the next four months and I’m...

Hey guys- I am already blown away by what God has done and it has only been 4 days. God has been on the move within my team and in me. Here are just a couple stories of how God has been showing up and preparing us for what he has ahead… From the first time our team met at the airport there has been a connection and unity that we can not describe. We are already like family and we can only give praise to God for that. It has been by him we have been able to serve, love, listen to each other, and encourage in ways that are way beyond us. God knew what he was doing when he put this...

Voices rose to the sky as God given passions bursted into existence. I heard the cries of my brothers and sisters crying out to the God whose love was finally being embraced. With chairs tossed to the side because the children of God needed space to move, dance, and jump in their freedom, I experienced a worship service that was like no other!    Before this moment however, there was a battle within my heart that I could not ignore.  Guilt and Regret vs. God’s abundant, ever-present, overflowing love.   My heart was plagued with guilt and from that...

Hello everyone! I am writing to you from training camp in Atlanta Georgia! Let me just fill you in on these last couple days! Wow where do I start, I just want to say I was blessed with the most outgoing and wonderful group of fourteen including our team leaders Jana and Michael. The first night we got to go to the homeless shelter where we were given blankets and food to give to the homeless and to practice evangelism.          Even though its only been three days I can see I have already been transformed. The leaders here and the worship is amazing. I...

Hey everyone!  I am here safely in Georgia! We have been here for only 4 short days and God has already done major work! It really shouldn't be a surprise but honestly, I am a little amazed at what has taken place not only in me but in my teammates too! Even though I have been surrounded by a team of 12 other people for almost the entire time I've been here, I can't help but to just feel alone with God… an intimiate feeling which I've been missing out on for awhile by letting myself become distracted with things of the world. God is refreshing my spirit...
