On the second day of our trip to Costa Rica, I was sitting outside during Jesus time, and these words spilled onto the page in front of me.   “Today is our second day in Costa Rica. I am sitting outside in the fiery heat, listening to the bustling sounds of San Jose, preparing to leave to minister in the slums of Costa Rica, and I have never felt more content. This place is home. These people I’ve met are my family. My feet are caked with the dirt of the ground, yet they dance. The voices of the children shouting words in a language that I seldom understand, wrap my heart...

Sometimes faith is a little like muddy water. We can see the pool of it, but we cannot see what lies underneath. As I walked down the streets of Nepal trying to avoid the pools of muddy water created by the monsoon season, I was thinking about what God was teaching me on this trip. At the beginning of this trip, during training camp, Don asked us a question during our first listening prayer. He wanted us to ask the Lord what gift he was going to give us on this trip. At first, I thought I couldn’t hear anything, but later during worship I realized that I didn’t trust that it was...

¡Hola! Me llamo Kat! I’m currently (7/7/18) driving through Puerto Rico looking at the epic mountains and jamming to “I can only Imagine” with some of the best humans I’ve ever met. I guess you could say I’m THRIVING! The place we’re staying is called Camp Caribe; I’ve never seen anything quite like it. If you look to the left, you‘re welcomed by the waves.

By Jordan Stafford – Guatemala 2 Week 2nd Launch The Lord is so good to His people, and His heart is so kind. If I haven’t learned anything else on this trip to Guatemala, I have definitely learned that God has a huge heart and that He truly desires good for his people. This morning we got up around 6:00 to go to breakfast, and then we went out to visit houses and pray for the local people. In order to get to the houses, we drove in the back of pickup trucks standing up, which was crazy, but also super fun. The Guatemalan driving culture is so different from America. Here, they...

Whirlwind   Here it comes A whirlwind of love It crashes over me Sent from the father above It moves me and directs me It touches me and wrecks me It uses me It heals me It chooses me It fills me This whirlwind of relentless love. This whirlwind of love It turns me inside out It mends my broken heart It takes away my drought And it gives me a fresh start. It hears my hollow cries It is with me night and day It knows my wrongs and rights But it loves me anyway. This whirlwind of love So delightful and divine Though we may try to push it away It comes back every time. This whirlwind...
