God is a living God. His voice speaks into each of our lives and cannot be limited to how it is presented to us. From the beauty of the Rocky mountains to an audible voice, God is speaking to each of us. In the last several weeks I have been seeking God and asking for guidance on my life in preparation for my time in Africa. Internally I was battling with the idea of being given the opportunity to Love orphans and the feelings of leaving behind a ministry and group of friends that I care so much about. With the reality that I would only be gone a month God began to show me what it looked...

Hey yhall. I have only been with adventures in missions for one day but I am having an amazing time and am excited for what God is going to do this month. My teams flight to Johannesburg leaves tonight around 7. After about a fifteen hour flight we will be in South Africa. We may spend the night in the airport until our flight to Manzini Swaziland on Tuesday. Sometime after we land in Swaziland we will split up and my team will be traveling into Cape Town. Cape Town is known to be one of the most beautiful cities in the world. While in Cape Town we will work with volunteer Mzansi, which...

Finally met all of the teammates in Atlanta and found that all of them are awesomely unique! I’m excited to get to know everyone once inside Rwanda. I have a general sense of everyone’s personality but it’s been only one day. I wonder how we will all start to interact ince in the field but i keep praying that God ensures team unity. One excercise we did last night was listening prayer. I have nallyever done this before but basically we sit in a circle and speak what is on our mind. One person gets tapped anonymously and others tell that person what they think God is...

…We can grow brighter than the SON.” Okay, FUN. May actually say “sun” instead, but I like my version better. Tonight I get on a plane for South Africa. I have vague ideas of what I am getting myself into and I’m sure the real thing will make a joke of my silly ideas anyways, so I’m really not too concerned with knowing. But because God is gracious to us and knows how to best encourage us when he asks us to step into the unknown, here is what I do know: God is bringing me into a greater version of my identity. He has been teaching me to actually...

During our one day of training down here in Atlanta, we took time to get to know each other from our team in Rwanda and also a team that is heading on down to South Africa at the same time with us.  It was definitely a bit awkward talking with strangers from around the country, but we all had the common ground of taking a step of faith in going overseas to serve His kingdom. There was this activity that we had to do during our training session where we were told to close our eyes and listen to what God was telling us about a person in the group that we were assigned to.  I tried...

I arrived in Atlanta not fully knowing what to expect. It's been my dream to go overseas and serve people in different nations, but I didn't really think about my team and getting to work with others out there on the mission field. Once I got to the airport to meet my team, I was a little nervous, but everyone is so awesome and welcoming, and truly love each other in the way Christians should. We all came from different parts of the country, from different denominations and backgrounds, but we're all connected in one way: through Christ. When it comes down to it, He is truly all...
