The Philippines leaders called and checked in tonight. Ministry has been going well! However, there was a typhoon that passed thru that affected ministry the first few days. It’s stopped raining and they were able to participate again in ministry with kids on the street. During these times of ministry, the students are asked to leave their phones behind for safety reasons. The kids that they have been working with…often live on the streets and it’s not uncommon that they take items out of desperation. They are also traveling in jeepneys where it could be easy to...

South Africa

Experiencing South Africa to its full extent would be…. 1.Zulu dancing in front of the entire church congregation Sunday morning2.Playing soccer barefoot in the middle of a dirt field while being jumped on by about 3 kids at one time3.Waking up to the sunrise every morning 4.Screaming “sowabona” (means “hello” in Zulu) outside of the van while driving through the streets – and – yes, for those who know me can picture this happening. I was halfway out of the van window, waving and smiling to these people I’ve never met. It was quite amazing BUT...

Heard from the leaders this morning. The teams is doing great. They just finished doing girls camp for street kids. The team will post a blog with an update about this camp on Sunday. The internet is pretty limited where they are at (they have to drive 20 to 30 mins for a good internet that won’t go out on them). Cell service is also spotty. The camp is great however and ministry is good. They want to thank everyone for their prayers.

DR

I have been here in the DR with the team for 8 days now! Within those 8 days I have learned a lot about God, the community, my team, and myself. And to think we are about half way through the trip is crazy because of everything that has happened. There is one very important lesson I want to share with everyone and my experience! So here it goes! So far on this trip I have learned a lot about how express to others when they have hurt me. I have had to do this a couple times so far on the trip because there were a couple incidents in the beginning of the trip. That was honestly really hard...

Puerto Rico: Finding Unity

1 Corinthians says, “Love is patient, love is kind.” That verse is so easy to say but not quite as easy to live out. Especially when you put 18 teenage girls in a confined space and give them work projects in 100 degree Puerto Rican heat (at least it seems like 100 degree in the barrio where wind is not common). Training camp was all fun and games (quite literally) but the mission field turned out to be much more difficult–emotionally and physically. Ephesians 5:11 says, “Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them.” So...
