Two days into being in beautiful Swaziland, we were able to get on wifi and I was definitely stoked for the moment when I finally would be able to tell my friends and family about how wonderful this land and its people are (possibly the most beautiful people I have ever met). When I got online I saw a message that had said that one of my dear friends had passed away Monday morning. It hit hard and fast. What do you do when you lose someone and you are a world away from everyone you know? What do you say when you can’t come running home? What do you do when you feel like no one...

It takes a little faith

For the past couple months, my heart has been bursting with excitement at the thought of spreading Jesus’s love to and playing with the children of Africa. Since we have such a large team and there are various ministry opportunities here in Swazi, we were broken up into different groups of ministry. I was thrilled to be assigned to carepoint ministry, which provides children with both food and an education. Much to my dismay, I was switched from carepoint ministry to administration due to certain logistics. As much as I would like to say that I trusted God and happily accepted this...

Hello friends and family! The past few days have been a whirlwind. We arrived at our homes for the summer and we are so excited to see what Jesus has in store for us! Today we explored Manzini on a super fun scavenger hunt and then camped out at a restaurant with wifi for the afternoon! Tomorrow, we begin ministry! The team will be split up into different ministries which include: teaching preschool, loving on orphans at care points, serving at a hospice center, agriculture, and administration work for the AIM base down here. Ashley, Jordan, and I are honored to be spending this summer...

The Swaziland team has arrived at their home for the next two months. I just got off the phone with the leaders and two of them are currently at the grocery store picking up ingredients for their dinners. For, although it is 12:24pm here in Atlanta, it is 6:24pm in Swaziland! The team will be spending the coming days settling in and will be communicating home soon! Thanks, The Passport Team

Our team leaders called this morning and the Swaziland has arrived in South Africa. They are now en route to Swaziland with their host. Once there, the team will spend the coming days getting introduced to their ministry, coming to know the culture, and finding a routine for the summer ahead. They will be finding internet in the next couple of days so that they can communicate home and share more about what their days and weeks will look like. Until then, we wanted to let you know that all is well. Hope that you’re as excited to follow along with their...

Foggy Dreams Refocused

Today, I sat in the Paris airport for twelve hours. Today, a life dream was fulfilled as I viewed the Eiffel Tower for the first time, but today this dream looked so much different than I imagined. For years I dreamed of jaunting off to Paris, leaving the airport, dining at a little bistro, walking narrow streets, and all the while stuffing my face with authentic French macaroons. I imagined turning a corner and moseying on over to the Eiffel Tower. I envisioned taking a handstand picture in front of it, and...
