The Beginning of This Journey

I cannot believe that I am sitting on the couch at our ministry location in South Africa. As I was preparing for this trip people would ask me, “Are you in school?” and I would reply “Actually I am going to mission in Africa for three months”. But those were just words, they didn’t stick and hold the full meaning of this reality. Now I am here and it is absolutely insane. The travel was really rough getting here. Sooooo from Atlanta to Qatar we had a 14 hour flight, a 10 hour layover in Qatar, a 10 hour flight from Qatar to Cape Town, and finally a 12 hour bus...

A New Wick

Jacó has been so sweet to us. My team and I are growing so much together. Through worship, prayer, and obedience. God is bringing to us new waters to walk across and new journeys to embark. One new journey for me has consisted of my twentieth year. Yesterday was that “fresh start” that I had been waiting for. A new decade that began with an overflow of love and joy, doing what I love the most. I learned new things, like surfing and that our new friend Mel makes a bomb pineapple cake, while Carly’s impeccable amount of talent can flow through a simple birthday card...

Being Interruptable and the “M-Word”

The M-Word and The Story So Far (1/29/17) This blog will just be a brief introduction of our journey so far! To start out here is a picture of our team (names from right to left: Hailey, Amber, Shannon, Me, Tori, Halle) Being interruptible is something Hailey, our leader, prayed over our team before we even met. That we would be open to whatever happens even when we don’t know why and that we would trust God’s plan and walk in that. When you pray for something, sometimes it doesn’t take long before the Father gives you what you asked for and that’s what...

Hello Friends, Family, and Strangers (that I soon hope to be able to call Friends!), We have made it safely to Zambia!!!! We are in our ministry location in Livingstone, and will be starting ministry on Monday! Heres what it is going to look like!!!

This will give everyone a chance to build some awesome relationships with the people! After morning ministry we will play...

Every Reason To Cry

After over 80 hours of travel… here we are, in Kampong Cham, Cambodia. When we pulled up to the orphanage that we’re staying in, I looked out of the window of our van and saw eager and excited children awaiting our arrival. I was a little bit taken back because of the exhaustion that totally overwhelmed my body, so we ate some dinner and went to bed. The next morning, my team and I went down for breakfast and afterwards we saw the sweetest kids playing on the patio. As a little time passed, more kids began showing up. They welcomed us, laughed with us, tried teaching us...
