Swaziland and Philippines have made it!

The Swaziland and Philippines teams have arrived safely in their location! They had some exciting new foods on the plane and they are probably fast sleep by now. 🙂 Please keep them in your prayers as they start ministry and experience all God has for them in these new places. Love from Adventures, Tiffany

Nicaragua and Puerto Rico have landed!

The Nicaragua and Puerto Rico teams have arrived safe and sound! We are excited for their adventure to continue as they get acclimated to the culture, ministry, and yummy food! Pray for them as they figure everything out – that they would have a blast and bring the Kingdom while they’re at it… Love from Adventures, Hope Mendola.

I have been waiting for this day to arrive. Getting to training camp and starting this adventure in missions! God has called me to travel and teach children about him and simply show them what true love is through smiles and authentic hugs. During this trip I hope to be present in every moment and find a way to see God’s beauty and creation all around me. Even in the places that seem dark and empty, God shows up anywhere and everywhere through us. I can’t wait to have fun for God! Let’s do this!!

Two weeks ago I returned home after leading the Jamaica Ambassador team in Kingston. We lived on the Salvation Army base where there was a nursing home and orphanage on site. One thing I had forgotten was how difficult it was to love orphans at times. They are some of the worst behaved children I have ever had to deal with. We were in charge of VBS while there. It would have been easier to teach bible stories to a room full of squirrels. I found myself frustrated more than anything.

We will always be dependent, and there are some who realize this. We will always need someone or something to provide our essential needs, but we try looking...
