While we can still drink the water

Greetings from Taccoa Falls! We have nearly completed training camp here at Taccoa Falls College in the-middle-of-no-where Georgia, and I am still alive! After the process of packing and saying goodbye to my friends and family (which I wasn’t sure I would survive), I will say that I definitely didn’t know what to expect regarding any part of this trip—but mostly training camp. I had heard some crazy stories and was trying to remain open-minded and willing to experience whatever it was that the Lord wanted me to encounter at training camp. Before I left, I was constantly...

Dear Friends and Family, I'm so excited to let you know how training camp has gone before we head out for Peru, where the internet is spotty and we won't know how often we can update you. It has been so great getting to know my team. There are six fellow members and two great leaders. I have really enjoyed getting to know where they come from and their passions and desires for God. We all have such a deep desire to follow where God is leading and bring hope and freedom to the people he has in mind. We have gotten to know each other's strengths, weaknesses, and affinities through...

Spiritual Life

Many poeple has asked me,"what have you learned this summer"?How was you summer? Words in a couple minutes can not explain at all what I have learned and what God has revealed to me. Some people know and others don't. My boyfriend and I of 2 years and 8 months broke up a couple days before the trip ended. Does it hurt?Yes it hurts a lot because the man I loved for so long is no longer in my life. The person I use to call first when good news happened is not there any more. The person I went to when tears were overwhelming my eyes is no longer there to give...

I Worshiped With A Drunk Man

Ministry

How would most churches respond if there was a man sitting in the pews, or rather laying in the pews, so drunk that he would repeadedly fall off the pew and end up sprawling in the dirt? Let's back up a step? What would YOU do/think if you saw this in your church? Would questions like "why is this dude even here?" pop up in your head? Or would you be overwhelmed with compassion for someone who is caught up in a counterfeit, a cheap version of peace, a search for meaning that led to the most overwhelmingly lonely space on the face of the earth? It's a legitimate...

I was thinking about how long it has been since I have left for this trip. I was reminded of the day that I left for training camp. That day, I once thought, was one I would always hate. While leaving to come on this adventure I was scared, anxious, upset, and lost. I was a girl who needed to be a freed woman, yet had no clue. I leaned on my own strength and my own understanding. I served and loved God without knowing how much He loves me and how much He wants me to persevere. All these things sound pretty awful don´t they? Yeah, well...
