You know that warm fuzzy you get when you walk in your front door for the first time in a long time? That was the feeling of meeting my team for the first time – like meeting long lost family 🙂 Our first night we stayed at Safe House smack- dab in the middle of Atlanta. Also smack-dab in the middle of the Dragoncon craziness! I’d highly encourage you to Google it and learn about it for yourself if you don’t know what it is. Basically, it’s Sci-Fi fans gone wild…. Ya. With so many people gathered in one place, lots of whom were lost and searching for a light,...

     Coming on the trip I really didn’t have any expectations for training camp, mostly because I just wanted to get to India. Now I realize how essential it is to be here before we go out into the world and on the field. Being here I have learned so much more than I ever expected to! We’ve learned about the culture we will be in from people who have been there. We have talked about things keeping us from God and barriers that may be in our way. We have learned how to be a team that glorifies God in all that they do. And we have learned how to listen to...

The week before last, one of my teammates shared the story of Jesus washing the disciples’ feet during tutoring with the kids. After that story, another teammate and I felt led by the Spirit to put words into action and wash the kids’ feet. This past Tuesday, we filled two buckets full of water, and with soap in hand, we washed, dried, and bandaged feet. Among the giggling and laughter of the children was a humbling heaviness. With every foot I touched, I prayed for that foot to go places for God; to carry His Name to those who do not know Him; to be overwhelmed with God’s...

The time here seems to be flying by. Its weird to think I will be starting school again in a little over one month. A couple of girls on a different team here with us left on Thursday so I’m using that as a way to focus more on my time here and the ministry because pretty soon my team will be up too! I have just been loving out sites more and more. I genuinely feel the Lord breaking my heart for the people we work with here. I went to a nutrition class on Monday and was just soaking up all God was showing me. The women were singing worship songs and it was so beautiful, like I ...

I though a few photos were in order…ENJOY!!!  

In daily life here I see moments all around me and in my mind there is a debate, as in America we might say these moments are epic failures. Examples of these moments include situations on the bus when you are having a wonderful conversation that is leading toward important topics but when the two young girls learn I am from America total interest turns to wondering if I know Justin Bieber. Other moments might include the mosque that is located literally right beside the ministry site where we attempting to preach God‘s love, yet no matter what day at 1:00PM AND 5:00PM Muslim prayers are...
