Just a Touch

My team that is separate from our whole team has been doing the community outreach aspect of the trip. We go out every morning after breakfast and we walk around the village areas of Jamaica and we talk to the different people. There have been some amazing people that we have come in contact with and have been able to pray alongside and hear about their life. But some days we don’t get so lucky with people. We walk the streets and no one comes out, and our spirits are low. So we stop and we pray along the way for God to send us people. On multiple occasions people walk out of their...

Blog #2 Being truly satisfied. On every mission trip or Christian retreat we always talk about being “satisfied”, but I have never really gotten the concept of it. On this trip I think I have finally gotten it. To be truly satisfied in jesus is to give him your all, with no regrets, and letting him satisfy you. Right now I have never felt more at peace in my whole life, I have given everything I have to jesus, and for the first time I actually believe in what I am saying right now. I. Am. Satisfied. The lord works in many different ways, sometimes I really don’t understand...

Be Curious

On our second day of ministry I was eager to hear more. Hear more from the people of Jamaica and truly dig into how they know God. That is when I met a man named Taffawha. After embarrassing myself in soccer not one but two days in a row, I pulled Taffawha aside to talk with some of my teammates. He told us about his family and what it was like growing up. My heart was so full after hearing about his love for Christ. He was eager to share his love for Christ and his determination to follow him all his days. It was in these moments that I truly noticed that God’s love is Everywhere....

The Naked Cowboy

   The day God showed me how dirty I really am. I cried and I loved. The day started when we got to a care point and our contact asked for 4 volunteers to help sort shoes in a storage tank. I ended up doing it and it was miserably beautiful. We all were continually sneezing, but we got to sort out shoes that would be distributed to the kids the rest of my team was playing with. Totally worth even minute of discomfort. After that we went another care point. This was so incredible! I got off the bus and was immediately being bombarded with little arms begging to be held. My heart...

The Gift of Love

“We love because he first loved us.” 1 John? ?4?:?19? NIV It was our first day of going out to serve in the care points and my heart was full of excitement and expectancy for what the Lord was planning to do. I had no idea what to expect and I loved that! All I knew was God was going to work, and he did. The minute we arrived at the carepoint we were immediately welcomed by adorable children with loving arms. These bright eyed kids were enamored with the fact that these white people had come to love on them. The minute we stepped off the bus every child in sight ran and jumped...

Spiritual Warfare

greetings from San Pedro, Guatemala! our trip this far has been an adventure, and I’m so blessed to be able to be on this beautiful adventure with my best friends. these past two days have been tough on our team as a whole as we had to send home one of our own last night due to worsening allergic reactions. as a team, we spent hours last night in tears and prayer. though we hate to see her leave our group, we hated even more to see her suffering.  today was a test of faith as well and many of us were not feeling well. it could have been something we ate or simply nerves, but...
