The Faces of Love

Today marks my last day in Cambodia. This past year I have been spending endless amounts of prayer time asking myself a few questions in preparation for this trip, what exactly is love? What does my God’s love look like? What does love in ministry look like? This month Love has had many faces. Love in ministry has been helping villagers pick rice. It’s been going into random strangers houses and playing charades to overcome the language barrier, only to end up awkwardly sitting there(still loving every second of it). It’s been playing soccer even when you’re...

Meet Alfred

Alfred has been working at the elderly home in Maramba for 3 years. He has learned many lessons while working with the elderly, like he does not want to get too old or lose his memory (dementia or Alzheimers) because it is hard for the elderly in Zambia. Alfred has loved his time at the home but he hopes to go to mechanical school and learn how to repair cars. He loves to work with his hands and see how things work.

Mountain Top Faith

Have you ever noticed that when everything is going your way, you have a smile on your face and a skip in your step? What is your countenance when things are not working out the way you would like? Some people have mountain top faith – they enjoy the times when “all seems right in their world.” These are the times that they are most pleased with their relationship with the Lord.

Having been in Zambia for only a month I find that I dread going back to a typical life of work, church, and maybe the local youth group. I want to live above and beyond like we have since training camp. Some of you may have everything figured out after this; finishing college, serving in church, going on the World Race or YWAM, and so on. You will have many other challenges where mapped out goals can really help, but I believe that the line “Take me deeper than my...

Finding Heart and Home: Experiencing Cambodia

At night I wander out into the middle of the dirt driveway, also known as the soccer field, and I focus my gaze above me on the starry night sky. It is not the most breath-taking scene I have gazed upon, yet it is beautiful and close to my heart anyway. I am in a small Cambodian town yet at night I gaze upon the same stars that my friends and family across the world. Every night I find my friend in the sky, Orion, who connects me to my two best friends in the world. In that moment I share with them the piece of my heart that has been stole by this Cambodian town and the precious children...
