We are never to young to serve. Those words went through my mind as I was packing my bags to go to Guatemala. After three days of training it is clear how evident and true these words are. The way of expression and of praise for the God is so heart warming, that tears of joy can easily be seen and felt. People are shouting, singing, and roaring with assurance that God will take care of them. All shackles and chains that try to hold us back are easily broken. Each of these men and women are of courage strength and obedience. I have never felt so alive and having the Holy Spirit in me is...

Friday we arrived at Toccoa Falls College with no clue of the adventures we would experience before we flew out. We’ve learned to face the unexpected and face everything with stride and encouragement from each other.   Our training consists of witnessing to foreign remote tribes (our team leaders are such great actors/actresses!), building our own tent out of rope and tarps and spending the night in them, dancing…learning “the Wobble”, and sessions about survival in our countries.   This time has not only tested my physical limits but it has been a...

You know that spiritual high you get at church camp? The one that sticks around for a few weeks then you’re left with nothing but a countdown until next summer. Training camp is nothing like that. We all arrived after a day of goodbyes, airports, and a long, sweaty, 2 hour, 3 bottoms in a seat bus ride.

People are shouting, dancing, crying, jumping, singing, praying, clapping- however you could think to...

Warning! The following blog could possibly make absolutely no sense because I simply have so much going on in my head right now that there is no way I can piece it all together and make any sort of sense, so Im sorry in advance. At training camp I was blown away by God. I was not looking forward to training camp at all, I was ready to go go go to Guatemala, But wow already I have learned so much about myself and all of Gods crazy love. Its amazing to be completely surrounded by people who love unconditionally , who don't care about how others view them and just want to love people...

God is moving and working in my life in ways where I don't feel like the same person and its only been 3 days of training.  Arriving at training camp was a bit overwhelming at first and out of my comfort zone, but slowly over time God has been revealing to me that with discomfort brings growth.  One activity that we did that stretched me in faith was a surrender activity we did.  We had to get a log and write down on the log the things we needed to surrender to God, after praying and letting God reveal to me the things I needed to surrender to become close to Him was...
