God is Here!

How has God been showing up in your life on this trip?  This past year I struggled a lot with trust. Trusting that I would get into the college I wanted, and trusting God to take care of my every need. One evening during praise and worship, our leader asked us to ask God what he wanted us to do for him. As I was singing I saw an image in my head of the word ‘trust” descending from the clouds. Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct...

I’ll Never Forget These Times

I met a young woman named Tina when Seth’s group went prayer walking. She was sitting on her porch when we walked up. We said our hellos and immediately started talking. She used to live in New York, so she spoke English (yay!). She talked about how much she wanted to find a church she liked so her and her son could go. So, when we got back to the retreat center, we asked Erin (a leader) if we could bring her to church. She said yes, which was really exciting. So later we walked back to Tina’s to tell her about the awesome news. When we...

Irish Church

So. All is well in Ireland. July 6th was when we started kids camp. It was amazing! So many childrens lives were touched by the Lord. He is just working in amazing ways for and through all of us! Throughout the week we did some sight seeing. We went to visit a lighthouse which reminded me soo much of home! After that we went to this run down, beat up church. It was the most beautiful thing ever. One room had the roof all torn off and the whole floor was covered in green foliage. The light just invaded the whole room and made a magnificent atmosphere. Another room was pitch black but after...

More Stories from Guatemala

Hey guys! Allie and Sophia here. We had quite an eventful and blessed day. As Satan put obstacles in the way of our ministry, the team worked together to overcome him and restore our joy. Wie went to the rooftop of our hotel, surrounded by the beauty of Guatemala’s volcanoes, mountains, and of course, the lake. Our team used worship to beat Satan and his evil tactics.                                    Afterwards, we all felt much better, and our team piled into the beds of...

Faith Like a Chhild

The Lord gave our team an amazing glipse of the sacrifice he made for us today.  This morning we were working at a new site to build a missionary base for the pastors of Nauta.  Pastor William had several boards for us to bring up from the bottom of a very steep hill that winded around several houses.  As we were looking at the pile of boards and the amount of workers it seemed almost impossible.  We began slowly moving the heavy boards up the hill 2 at a time.  Our backs were beginning to ache and our shoulders were sore.  The whole way up the hill we were...
