Life in Africa is amazing. I’ve seen and experienced so many new things. More importantly, God has taught me so much. Ministry has been great. Most of our time in ministry has been helping in a preschool and really just pouring into the kids at Ntabas Care Point. We’ve also done some things I wasn’t expecting to do in Swazi. We were able to go on a home visit one day to a little old lady in the community. I was expecting to spend time with her and share the gospel, but we ended up moving ant infested wood to a fire pit and sweeping the ground with branches (yes,...

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...

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...

For many people their “comfort zone” is being on their phones, driving anywhere any time, having electricity, wifi available anywhere, being able to wear a new outfit every day, a bed to sleep on, more than one room in the house, air conditioning.. The list goes on and on.. For these 2 weeks we’ve decided to go out of our “comfort zone” and take away those things. We took a step into a new country.. A new WORLD even.. And those things were instantly taken away. For people here.. Their “comfort zone” is being with family, having a roof over their...

Not only is the title of this blog my favorite worship song, but it sums up my entire experience so far. These people are so willing to let God into their hearts that you can feel Him wherever you go. When people say that God moves in mysterious ways, they know what they are talking about. God has made a serious change in my heart, and I didn’t even see it coming. During this entire trip, I’ve been spiritually stretched, more than I’ve ever been before and I’m loving it. The graciousness and love from the hearts of these people has touched me tremendously. Some of...

Beyond BordersWhen I think about missions, one word comes to my mind and that word is love. During these two weeks I have been so strengthened and transformed spiritually. Watching people that have such little material items be so rich in spirit and joy is just amazing. I thought that when I arrived and began my missions work I would teach them but they’ve taught me so many life lessons, it could last me a lifetime. My friends have taught me the lessons of humility, peace, joy, endurance, and the power of your mindset not only by the words they speak but through their lifestyle. The...
