Different Ministry Opportunities

New little vlog up about how different ministry can look like each day. Not every day is going to be the same. Some days are jam packed with activities and some days are a little more laid back. One day can be teaching english in a school, but other days can be scrubbing dried paint off of concrete floors. It is important to be willing to serve in any and every situation. Ministry does not always meet our expectations or look like what we would particularly want to do. This is where a true servants heart comes into play, because sometimes ministry means getting on your knees and scrubbing a...

The Forgotten Four

Before beginning my trip to Zambia,  I knew God would work in indescribable ways. So when asked to write a blog post about Friday,it seemed like a daunting task.  How am I supposed to put into words just how powerful God has been?  I’ll try my best.   Friday morning we arrived at Makumba village.  Upon arriving our team dispersed around the school and prayed over the land.  I personally prayed that God would speak to the villagers and help them realize that God is the only true healer,  restorer,  and comforter in an area where...

Week One

Ahhhh! It’s been a week since we flew out of Atlanta, but it feels like so much longer. Each day looks different, but so far a lot of our time has been spent loving on, playing with, and teaching kids. Pretty much as soon as we got here went to help out with an after school camp held each week. Us arriving when we did was definitely God’s provision because the club had three times as many kids as usual! Our time was spent painting faces, tying knots on bracelets, and observing the lesson taught by the missionaries living here. We were so blessed to be able to start this way...

God says GO

Before leaving for India and since my return, I have often heard this question posed by American Christians to missionaries: “Why don’t you STAY here?  Why do you need to GO?  Shouldn’t you be reaching people here at home?”  I’ve heard the question over and over again.  I, at times, have wondered the same.  “Is it necessary that I go, that I leave my home?  Why can’t I stay where I am comfortable?  Why can’t I just tell people about the good news right where I am?”  In my fear, I usually preferred...
