Jabin Jones Currently at the airport with my teammates and finally get the opportunity to reflect on what I experienced at training camp. Going into training camp was a time I very much looked forward too, to be able to meet the people I would end up spending the next 4 weeks of my life in Swaziland, Africa with was exiting. What I didn’t know was how God was going to grow and mold us from a bunch of individuals to one body of believers under christ. The first full day my teammates opened up about some real spiritual problems that satan had spoken over them and so we got to...

So coming on this mission trip I was definitely expecting a spiritual high. Yes, I know that is far from the purpose of going to another country to serve. However in the back of my mind, I was definitely expecting to be filled with the Spirit, and I found comfort in looking forward to that. What I didn’t realize at the time was that I was unconsciously expecting to draw that strength and comfort from my team and others around me. When I arrived at training camp, it wasn’t what I expected. I wasn’t “feeling the Lord” nor was I able to draw strength from the...

Roman Noffsinger,   Throughout this trip, I have had some super Godly moments. We woke up one morning and decided to worship with the Beauty for Ashes group that was also staying with us in the Dominican Republic. While we were worshiping you could feel the presence of God all around.

The team has landed in El Salvador.  

Training camp has been so amazing for me! I have had so much fun taking bucket showers and laughing with my team. From laughing at Mackenzie because she screams so loud at bugs to getting all six of us up a twelve foot wall, training camp has truly been an amazing and unique experience. God is really testing me on this trip because I have never done anything like this before. I was really pushed to my limits, such as my trust with others. I am so happy that I have been able to have this experience. During one of our sessions we were told to pray for a stranger and I ended up praying for the...

We have been in Nepal for a little over a week and Papa is doing some amazing things here. I can only put into words a glimpse of what Papa has been teaching me. Our first day of ministry we spent praying and getting to know our host ministry. Afterward, we went to a Hindu temple that oversaw the whole city of Kathmandu and while we were there we prayed over the city and its people.  The temple is placed on a foothill and by foothill, it is actually climbing the side of a mountain (in my opinion, haha). After reaching the temple I was so exhausted and it was beyond humid. When we...
