Nicaragua

Hello everyone! This trip has been AMAZING! I´m a little bit sick but that´s okay.The people here are amazing….but God used a two mile hike (uphil at an unforgiving elevation) to let me shed my expectations, personal desires, and the way that my life was before this trip. At the top of the hike was the most incredible waterfall I have ever seen! There was a pool of water at the bottom to swim in. I layed flat on my back in the water and stared up at this magnificent creation the made me feel so tiny. I litterally felt like I was laying in the arms of God. He...

They Don’t Forget

One of the most exciting things about coming back to a country that you have already been in is meeting the people that you met before and seeing the ways that ministry has progressed. As we made our way to Riverside for the first time this year, I couldn’t help but smile. I was so excited to see the children. They do not dissappoint, and they definitely don’t forget. As we stepped into the community children began appearing out of everywhere yelling for us and running in our direction. I and Joy are the only ones that they recognize, but they are so...

We arrived at the children’s home on Saturday afternoon. Helen informed us that the weekend would be very relaxed, which meant Sunday (the Fourth of July) was completely free. On my last trip to the island, we wanted to visit this amazing waterfall on the smaller of the two volcanos that make up Ometepe. I mentioned this to the team and the question of what we would do all day was solved. No one in our group wanted to spend Fourth of July thinking about what our families were doing back in the states. So we loaded up on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, hired a guide, and took...

Student Blogs Part 2

Scotland

Blog by Christina YoungThis trip has answered many questions that I’ve had about my life. Scotland has also made me answer questions that the Lord has put on my heart. Since I entered the Stanley House I have asked Him to removed all the walls and distractions from my life. When I return home I pray that temptations and old habits will not arise. A song that really sums up this category of life is “Hurricane” by Jimmy Needham it states that I need God to come into my life like a hurricane and tear all my walls down. It says I am His now. He is the eye of the storm...

Hey all!! So sorry that it took so long to update you on our trip! We have been super busy from 7am-11pm every day this week, but we are loving EVERY minute of it! =) Thank you so much for all of your prayers. We got into Scotland on time without any trouble on Tuesday around 6pm-just in time for a delicious home cooked meal. We are staying in Paisley, just outside of Glasgow in a community house with 25 other Christian men and women (37 total!!). There are 3 families (with little ones too), YWAM interns, and DTS (discipleship training school) students all...
