What is Rest?

We’ve only been in India for a week and already I feel like I’ve learned so much.   God has really been speaking to my heart about what it means to rest in him. For a while now I’ve felt like I had a pretty good grip on what it means to “rest in Christ.” But what I’m talking about here is not like the Matthew 11:28 rest.

A Void Ticket, A Blocked Gate, and Some Dinosaurs

  After an all-nighter with my team mates at training camp, our travel day began. We left camp at 3:30, for our flight that left at 7:00AM. We began checking in and everything seemed fine, until I tried checking in on one of the kiosks and an error message came up.

But it only showed the first flight from ATL to Chicago, and yet that was void. So our Passport leader Abbie made a lot of phone...

Safe in India!

After quite the journey, the entire team has made it to Hyderabad safely!    They are excited to have their feet on the ground and to get some rest! In the next couple of days, they will be immersing themselves in the culture, adjusting to the time difference, tasting delicious curries, and bringing the love of Christ to the people of India.    We are so excited and expectant for what the Lord is going to do in and through them these next 3 months!   Keep following the blog to see updates from the team soon!   Blessings, The Passport Team

Training Camp Round Two

During training camp we get to worship,...
