Jesus, The name of a king. The name of a man who came down from heaven to save his children Who were lost and broken For they lived in a world of darkness  But soon the darkness would be outspoken   Because through the name of Jesus light conquers everything.  Jesus, A man of power, who descended from Heaven, he became human to save us. He certainly is no coward. My Jesus would walk 40 days through a desert and be tempted. No he wasn’t offended,  But what Satan tried to throw at him, he simply spoke words of truth and pushed through.   To sum it up...

I know that we are at the end of our trip sadly but I just wanted to share one more incredible day with all of you. Wow! God is so good all the time and all the time God is so good! We arrived to the school on July 6th – which is were we have been teaching English to all of the classrooms and most importantly loving those children just as God loves us. Raina and I had a third grade class for about thirty to forty minutes in the morning, and then went out on activation. My team went to a super crammed market by the school to find the people that God wanted to encounter. As we were...

Last Saturday was an activation day. Activation is when we pray and Ask The Lord what He wants to do with us that day. We traveled down to Parramos and we were put into groups with at least one Spanish speaker (which was MariCarmen). Then the four of us, including Anna and Sabrina, prayed and listened for the Lord’s voice. We all saw various things but came to find out that the Lord pushed us in another direction. As we were walking, Marissa pointed to a woman and said “we need to go pray for that woman.” She was an older woman who looked like she needed help. We...

Living Simply to Live Tomorrow, the 18th of July, we leave for the states. It’s crazy how quick this trip went by. So much happened in just three weeks! When all of us first met at training camp we were all strangers, but now we are all family. I’ve made so many connections with my teammates and with the people of Peru; it will be so hard to say goodbye. The Peruvian people are the people I wish Americans were like. When we would walk through their villages, they would invite us into their home and give us their full attention while we talked about the love of Jesus. Most...

We got out of our comfort zones today and entered the zone of the unknown – where we literally had no idea what would happen, putting our trust in the Lord! Activation, also known as ‘Ask The Lord’, is when we ask the Lord what He wants us to do and what He wants us to say to us. We then go out on ministry in pursuit of the people or things that God put on our hearts. After a teaching session in the morning, we talked about how to hear the Lord’s voice and then practiced with a partner. My partner and I both had a hard time at first and didn’t think we heard...

The Little Chicken             I was seated on the wooden stairs leading up from the river on the farm in Peru when God spoke to me. At the time, I was reading from Proverbs 6. As I read I was distracted by the crying chirp of a little chick. The chick was all alone with a hurt leg on top of a steep hill. The mother hen was at the bottom of the hill with the other chicks leading them to food. The little chick was going berserk. He was very persistent in keeping me from my devotion. As the mother hen heard her chick she began to call back. Making her way up the...
