What I Learned in Antigua

Below you will see what the Lord has shown 22 amazing teenagers in our time in Antigua.  “We lived in Antigua for 17 days. In those 17 days, I have learned so much. For example, things like the fact that toilet paper can and WILL clog the toilet. And many other hilarious. I have grown in my faith in more ways then I ever thought could be possible. The Lord has opened up my eyes to the beauty of this country, and the joy dwelling in the hearts of the locals. But he has also shown me heartaches and poverty. I am beyond thankful to be living and experiencing both extremes and the in...

B is for Brotherhood

Rock climbing, the market, the Holy Spirit leading, and the power of prayer. These phrases can describe our time so far in Nepal.  July 9 was our first off day here in Nepal. We decided to go rock climbing. Getting to our destination was a struggle. A van that would comfortably fit twelve people was packed with twenty-five people. Since being here, we have either traveled by the means of public transportation or we have walked. The Nepali people make most of what they have. While we were rock climbing the spiritual gift of exhortation was present in every single team member. All seven...

Team USA: Being Bold

I’ve always had a heart to do missions. I’ve always loved kids and serving others. I never realized until this trip that being a “missionary” doesn’t happen when you hop in a plane to a third world country, or in this case, jumping in a van to road trip across the US with 18 of your new best friends. No. “Missionary” isn’t a title, it’s a lifestyle. We are not made to only be on missions in crazy, unknown places, but in our small towns, large cities, and communities that we call home. Missions isn’t only VBS at your church or...

Silencing Doubts

I am on the third week of my trip and it’s been one wild ride. To tell of all the crazy things God has done would take a million blog posts. These past few weeks, many of my doubts and fears have been silenced. God has been speaking truths to me through the beautiful people I encounter along the way. I remember our first ministry day so vividly. In the afternoon we visited a children’s school where we got to sing songs, share a short message and play games. While we were dancing around to Father Abraham, I met one little girl who has had a lasting impact on me throughout this...

Nepal Ministry Update

Wow, it’s been an incredible time so far here in Kathmandu!  Here’s a quick recap of what we’ve been up to here. This past Friday we hiked a nearby foothill located south of Kathmandu to a the Shree Santaneshwor Mahadev Temple.  This Hindu temple offers a great view of all of Kathmandu, and it’s also where women travel to receive the blessing of fertility.  We spent our time there praying over Kathmandu as a whole, that God’s hand would continue to move powerfully in the lives of all who live here.  We also prayed over the temple and over...
