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...

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...

Luckiest Girl in the World

I am the luckiest girl in the world. I haven’t showered in three days. My arms are sore from picking up preschoolers for six hours a day. My lip was bitten by an ant a few hours ago. My legs are sore from walking to church and back today. I have a lot of empty Coke bottles next to my bed. There’s a rooster outside my window that has a freaking lot to say. It’s quite cold in the house right now. I’m very, very tired… And I am the luckiest girl in the world. I’m in Africa. I have children to love, girls to pour into, and serious worship to be focusing on. I...

Introduction to India

After 40+ hours of travel, a few run-ins with mystery meat, and a lot of team bonding, we are finally settling in and accessing wifi! A big thank you goes out to all who have been praying for us. Please continue to do so through the coming weeks. India has more to offer than any of us ever expected. The bright colors, big smiles and devotion to Jesus has captivated our hearts. As the days go on and we dig deeper into ministry we will post another update. As for now, I will leave you with a few words from the team! Enjoy 😉 Rachel: The Indian children have stolen my heart (especially...

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...
