Universal God

Saturday and Sunday are both days where we have church with the kids and some of the people from the village. They are both such impactful nights full of praise. Last Saturday night we sang “Every Move I Make” and then two Khmer worship songs. Looking around at the children’s faces was so moving. Their faces showed complete joy, peace, and love for the Father. I was brought to tears knowing how big of a positive impact in Cambodia these children will be as future fathers, mothers, employees, and friends.  After worship we joined hands in a circle and spent...

Openness

When we rolled up into the second community we visited, we expected it to be much like the first. We had a set plan of what we wanted to do. But as soon as we stepped off the boat, it was evident that our plans went down the drain. The community of José Olaya was the opposite of everything we had been told. The kids there were anything but shy; they were practically jumping on the boat with excitement as we parked. Without hesitation, they jumped in to play soccer, helped us create a makeshift bowling alley with some old cans, and even taught us one of their favorite games called...

Going into this trip I was feeling kinda nervous about doing a lot with young kids because I don’t feel like I am energetic or crazy enough, I don’t have a passion for them, and I often feel like I can do ministry much more effectively with older high school or college aged kids. I’ve never described myself as a “kid person” because everyone in my circle at school is...

Two More Weeks in Costa Rica

If you haven’t heard by now, I am co-leading a group of people through Adventures in Missions called Passport. We have been in Costa Rica for about two weeks, and we have about another two weeks to go.  This has been an amazing experience for me to grow personally. I have always struggled with viewing myself as a leader. Being more on the quiet side, I have felt like I don’t have the “right personality” to be a leader. I signed up to lead this trip to put this to the test.  And, of course, the Lord has revealed so much to me along the way. The participants...
