Hey Everybody! This first week of training camp has been very uplifting and challenging.  When I first got to the airport and met my team we were told that we needed to find our own way to an address in the middle of Atlanta.  When we finally got there we found out that it was a homeless shelter.  Once we put our bags down and ate we were informed that we were going to spend the night on the streets of Atlanta.  The temperature was below freezing and we were not prepared for the weather.  Our team learned how to work well together very quickly.  I learned a lot...

Hey Everyone! Today is the big day when I’ll be leaving training camp in Gainsville, Georgia and heading to the Atlanta airport to fly to Johanesburg! From there we have about a five hour drive to reach our new home which is a small town near the city of Manzini. I am very excited! This week at training camp has been really great. I have loved getting to know my team better and learning about their backgrounds. It already feels as though we have known eachother for months instead of days. We have faced many new and unexpected experiences together which has brought us even...

“Joy. I feel joy. I feel really happy. You will be filled with joy. I see you dancing and laughing, full of joy! All will see and know you have the joy of Jesus in your heart as you pass them by.” These words were spoken to me Wednesday night from a couple different people. We all got a chance to practice listening to God’s voice for our brothers and sisters. The Spirit was powerfully moving through us and speaking words of truth and healing.  Most of my life I believed my joy would only grow with older age. As if age was the magical key to me turning into a joyful...

Hey everybody,        Alright. So, when I got to the Atlanta airport I wasn’t packed in a van and shipped off to some campground like I thought I’d be. Instead, my team was given 20 bucks and told to make it to a location (1 something 3 something Ellis street, Atlanta). When we eventually got there, I saw that it was the Atlanta Safe House. I soon found out that this was so much more than just a homeless shelter.The leaders there truly had a heart for those who were broken, and they were determined to be an exit, not just a place to stay. They were a...

“I am what it sounds like when you sing Heaven’s song. I am what it feels like when Heaven comes down. I am what it looks like when God is all around.”   What a breathtaking concept! The God of the universe who holds all of heaven and earth in his hands,could display his glory anywhere, and yet, he delights to display his glory in me. Through Jesus, God has broken my chains of humanity and offered me access to the very same power that raised Christ from the dead. Tomorrow our team is heading to Swaziland. We are embarking on an adventure that God has created us for....
