Hello! My name is Meredith Evert I was born and raised in Harrisburg, PA. I grew up in a christian home and a surrounded by people who loved me. Growing up I always tried to please the people who surrounded me instead of listening to God and following for his will for my life. The older I got the more I struggled with pleasing people and trying to do things off of my own strength. I was sick of doing things just to make others happy and being okay on the outside but feeling ashamed and empty inside. My life became one big mess, I jumped around trying to figure who I was and what my life...

Hi!!  My name is Rachel Swearingen and I am from Denver Colorado!  I am so excited to be part of this team and have the opportunity to travel to Swaziland Africa!   Last night at worship I really felt God moving.  I heard him saying that he is going to do wild things!  I also felt like he was telling me how each girl on our trip had a specific purpose in the group and that each of our gifts and personalities were going to mesh together and just work!  I am excited to see what that will look like.  I am learning more and more to trust God, and it is easy...

Here I am, send me.

Friends,       My last night in Africa I prayed “God whatever it is you have for me is what I want. Whatever you need me to sacrifice I’ll sacrifice. I just need you to open the doors and know that I’ll walk through.” That bold prayer was answered just shortly after I got home.        I inquired with AIM about spending a few weeks doing relief work down in Haiti. The next day I got a phone call asking me if I had any interest in leading short term missions trips all summer. Before I could even ask God if this is what He...
