Don Rock, our director, spoke with Aaron Lawson today! Yesterday, the team went out into the bush again for ministry. They worked with local churches and met a lot of people. It was a great day! Today, they had a VBS down by Lake Victoria. And at the end, they had a baptismal service! I know that’s something they–and the ones they baptized–will remember for the rest of their lives! As you probably assumed, the team is having a hard time with internet access… like the earlier this week when they had it, wrote a blog, and the cafe lost power. As internet...

Scotland

Blog By Mason Mangum What I have learned from this trip is that a lot of times things do not seem as they appear. Like Scatland for instance, when you think of Scotland most people think of the beauty of it, but after living here you see things that are not so beautiful, like paper and bottles on the side of the road. You have to look deep sometimes to see these things though. You have to look under the beauty. Under the beauty, you see the things you would not expect from such a beautiful place. What this showed me is that we are like Scotland in this...

So, this trip isn’t exactly playing out as I was expecting. Given, I didn’t have that many expectations to begin with because it was all so vague of what we were actually going to be doing here. But I expected it to be easier, since like, I was already in love with Romania and gypsies before I got here. I thought that I was ready for this trip, until about the day before I left. Then I realized just how absolutely unprepared I was. I don’t like being unprepared. At all. I like being in control of situations and sure in my abilities. But I wasn’t, well, I’m...

As I sit here on a borrowed computer in a hotel in Atlanta, I find myself with too much to say, and yet nothing that seems to make sense as I start typing. Our team has shared everything from clothes and toothpaste to laughter and tears. We have bonded over new experiences in a foreign country, and have come back with a bigger picture of the amazing God we serve. I know by now the stories are starting to spill out to family and friends. The mixed reactions and emotions of coming home are catching up with me, and leaving the community of our small team is bittersweet....

On Sunday we traveled to Lorega as a team, and I knew that it would be an impacting time for all of our students. Lorega is a place like no other. There really are no words to describe it. There is no place like this in America, nor do I ever see one being there. Lorega is life built around death. Lorega is homes built atop burial tombs and goats sleeping on gravesites. Lorega is a city built upon a cemetary. It is a place that often carrys a heavy spirit. Because of drug activity, prostitution, gangs, and other forms of criminal activity that often...
