Incredible isnt enough

Peruvians are incredible. Jesus is incredible. My team is incredible. Our dance offs are incredible. Spanish is incredible. Peru ice cream is incredible. Internet cafes are incredible. Peru thunderstorms are incredible. Being in prison is incredible. Breaking barriers is incredible. Feeling God move is incredible. Being set free in Christ is incredible. Seeing people be healed is incredible. Being the hands and feet of God is INCREDIBLE! Basically, being in Peru sucks… ….Totally Kidding! If you didn´t catch on earlier, my team being in Peru is INCREDIBLE! We...

Walking Out of Prison

During one of the night sessions at training camp, Micahel Hindes shared about getting set free from prisons in our lives. The doors of these prisons have been opened by Christs work on the cross, but we still have decide whether or not were going to walk out of them. Kind of like a bird who flies into a garage, and cant figure out that he must go back out the same way he came in. He has the ability to get out, but hes blinded by whats in front of him so that he stays in his prison, even though there really isnt anything holding him there. It was a powerful time of deliverance where we...

Birthday Parties in an Iquitos Prison

      Hello everyone! As most of you know, I left on the 3rd to meetup with my Real Life team destined for Peru. Since then, in such a short amaount of time, my team has become my family and we are all already so close! I truly believer that God put together an amazing group of people for this trip! Training Camp was amazing, from sleeping under the stars with only our sleeping bags on the first night, to learning how to build each other up and better listen for God's voice. The Holy Spirit was truly moving in all the groups there and it really got me pumped and...

Letting Go= FREEDOM

This has been one crazy journy so far and it has only been the beginning. Our first day of camp was amazing and my team became such a family so fast. The girls are so encouraging and amazing helpers in keeping my eyes on Jesus and not missing the people I love back at home and the guys are encouraging in their love for God and being protectors of us girls in Peru-Amazon. It is a beautiful thing to see. :). One thing thst I keep coming back to is the freedom I have in Christ. During training camp one of the speakers talked about being caught up in prisons and that all we have to do is let...

Caught Somewhere Between a Rock and a Tree

The title might imply to your mind that I might be referring to the phrase between a rock and a hard place, insinuating that what I´m going to discuss is going to be negative. In that aspect my title might be a bit deceptive, because in this case the place between the rock and the tree is desirable above all else. It´s the secret place, the place of abandon. The place where I can commune with God and all of my anxieties cease to matter. It´s the palce where I enjoy unity with the Father´s heart and He speaks more clearly to me than anywhere else. The best part...

Lessons in humidity

Heat is a powerful force in our world. It hardens things, warms them up, burns them, and purifies them. It has forced us to grow and bond as a team as well as cover each others weaknesses. God has taught me so much in such a short amount of time, its incredible! Im learning about how our living sacrifices burn away the sin in our lives and purify the good things at the same time. Ive learned to truly listen to Gods voice and to act upon that no matter what that means. Like just yesterday I felt God telling me to share an experience that helped mold me to a church and felt no fear in...
