I got to Atlanta today around three o'clock and met my team in the airport!  And I finally met Kendra, the girl who I am paired with! She's wonderful!    Okay, being in Atlanta has been NOTHING that I expected it to be. I totally expected our training time to be all informational, talking about culture shock and whatnot. Nope. Not at all.  God has already blown me out of the water, and I'm not even in Africa yet!    "When God speaks, Life happens."  How does God speak to you? Is it through a dream or a...

Made it to Atlanta, even with the obstacles I faced I'm here! Last night was INCREDIBLE, experiencing God's presence has completely left me awestruck. Matt 18:20 says that, "where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them." and truly He was. We were able to join together as the body of Christ, to both pray for one another as well as prophesy(something I didn't truly understand until last night). Today we wrapped up our training and are starting our journey to South Africa.   Team Rwanda leaves around 2PM, but our stay at the airport will be a bit...

Hello!  Yesterday we met our teams and began out training. It's amazing what God is already doing before we've even left! We did a session last night as part of our training on listening prayer and it was awesome the way He was speaking truth, encouragement, affirmation, and prophetic words into our lives and spirits through our brothers and sisters we just met! I also found out that my partner and I will be spending the month in Cape Town serving with Volunteer Mzansi. Our specific ministry is still to be determined!  We fly out tonight into Johannesburg where...

                AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! My flight to Africa leaves tonight. I'm so excited to have this wonderful opportunity. I would like to start by thanking all the wonderful people in my life who made this possible. To everyone who has supported me spiritually and financially,  thank you! You are a blessing to me, my team members as well as those who we will be serving in Africa. To my mom and dad, I would like to say Thank you! thank you for believing in me. Thank you for supporting me. Thank you for letting...

I'm not even out of America and God has already shown us a glimps of His great power.  We all met at the airport and then shuttled to the Hotel where we stayed the night and did some preporations for our departures. After dinner and some "get to know each other time" we had some "serious time." In the serious time our leaders, Chris & Holly, talked about listening prayers. I heard this term on a trip with AIM last summer and although I forgot the term God has been working with me a lot on listening to Him over the past year. However, last night was WAY...
