Philippines

The adventure began one week ago and here we are, finally in Cebu, Philippines! Here’s a short snap shot of our first week through our own eyes… Katie Ruh :: “We are already having such an incredible time. During training camp God brought all of us together. Feeling emotions from every extreme left us vulnerable as God steadily worked through us. Training camp ended and we were physically, emotionally and spiritually ready for Cebu! Over 20 hours of flying left us all quite tired; however, arriving in Cebu safely was such a relief and blessing. We are now ready to work...

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.

Mexico

Being in Matamoros the past few days has really been incredible. The Lord has placed a lot of different ministry opportunities in front of us and we are excited about getting involved in them. Day 1 (Tuesday) we got to drive around and see a little bit of the city. We visited a few poor neighborhoods called colonias and a few churches. It was really shocking to our team to see the poverty and devastation within these communities. The rain has hit some of the homes really hard causing roofs to blow off and flooding to occur. Day 2 (Wednesday) The Lord led us to visit a woman in her...

Bolivia

Hola from the Monte Blanco Center in Bolivia. Team Un-Bolivia-ble arrived here last night a short 30 hours after we left the AIM Base in Gainesville. We arrived to Monte Blanco feeling a mixture of emotions: tired, excited, nervous, and hungry. Luckily, we arrived in time for a wonderful and very warm welcome from the Monte Blanco Staff who have done everything possible to make us feel welcome, loved, and a part of the family here. While we all arrived safe and sound, we were missing one piece of luggage. Fortunately, it arrived tonight without delay. Thank you...
