Then the Lord said to me, “You have seen well, for I am watching over my word to perform it.” -Jeremiah 1:12. One thing someone may notice about our team (team Swaziland!) is that we are quiet, sometimes really quiet. Not all the time and we are becoming a more talkative bunch but since we all met in the Atlanta airport you could tell that it was going to take a little while longer than other teams for us to get to know each other.  It’s ironic almost in that although sometimes conversation is little among us when I pray for our team God gives me verses about...

  Coming to Atlanta, Georgia for training camp I knew close to nothing about what I was getting myself into. From this, what it seems, everlasting training camp experience, I have learned a lot of things that I’ll carry with me throughout my walk of life. I am so thankful for what I have learned and overcome, and cannot express in words how excited I am to be a part of such a perfectly selected group to go out and be able to do amazing things in what is going to be such an amazing place. Luke 18:29

Day 2 at training camp God spoke to me! I have never really felt that before and it was amazing, God was talking to me specifically, I was sitting listening to Kyla speak and a verse just popped into my head. It was James 4:10. I had the sudden urge to just open my Bible and read it.

To anyone who feels like God never talks to...

As we are just now finishing training camp I find myself thinking that I can’t wait for it to be over! But not because it hasn’t been wonderful, it has! Only because I feel so Much more prepared and excited to go to Swazi after all that we have learned and done in the last few days… I’m finally ready to be there!! Training camp truly has been incredible. On the first day we had the opportunity to go of into atlanta and just talk to random people. Lucky us: dragoncon was in town! This filled the streets with extravagantly dressed scifi lovers imitating their favorite...

The super incredible amazing adventure has begun!  After all teams arrived at the Atlanta airport Friday, we were surprised with an envelope that gave us instructions to find our way to The Safehouse.  We took the Marta (subway) to Peachtree Street.  From there, we asked someone on the street for directions and then were on our way carrying our HEAVY weight of equipment that will last us for for the next three in a half months.  Let me just say:  it was heavy and a great hike to our destination.  At The Safehouse we were told that the rest of the night we were going to spend on the...
