Your Faithfulness Reaches to the Sky

August 27th– September 5th, 2012 It’s hard to believe that my dream of coming to Africa has become real, tangible, alive. After four insane days in training, and the longest, most unexpected and slightly exhausting journey of my life, we are now here in this beautiful city in Uganda and that’s all that matters. God has been so incredibly faithful. Favorite experiences so far: -The most insane worship I’ve ever experienced at training camp- experiencing the Holy Spirit like I never even would have imagined possible, learning amazing new songs and praising God with all...

Month 9 1/2.

Kenya: September – November 2010. Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania: January – May 2012. Uganda: August – December 2012.   If you would have told me that two years ago I’d be spending a total of 12ish out of the next 24 months in East Africa I would have laughed. But here I am again, back in East Africa for the third time since I left my precious bubble in September 2010. I guess the joke is on me! Although I would have laughed a couple years ago at the thought of all of this, I can’t picture my life any other way. You know how you get that feeling some place and...

The team will be settling in these next couple days and getting some orientation from their host.  Expect to see some blogs rolling out in the next few days as they find internet. Thanks for all the prayers for this team! The Passport field support team

1. New Places. New Faces

  You would think by now I would be used to being away from home, meeting new people and experiencing life in new ways. Coming into this trip the last two days at home were incredibly difficult for me. I was an emotional wreck, confused and uncertain. Yet deep in my gut I knew that what I was doing was exactly what I was supposed to be doing. That coming here was exactly where I was supposed to go.   Once I arrived I felt an incredible amount of peace. I felt strange how calm I was once I arrived. I feel completely refreshed in my relationship with God. Something is different and...

I’m sorry…you want me to do what?

If any of ya'll know me, you know that I don't do bugs. At all. When we first arrived at training camp we were told to drop our luggage off at the cabin and grab 3 things we might need. Luckily, I decided to bring a sleeping bag, pillow, and my medicine. Anyways, long story short we had to sleep outside in our shelter that we built out of tarp and rope. So obviously, I was not expecting that at all. LOVING it would be a stretch to say, but it definitley helped me understand where my heart was at through all this. Basically what i've learned in training camp is that I never want...

Outside these four walls

Being home or "re-entry" as they tell us is exactly how they warned it would be and exactly how I denied it ever would.  I feel lost without my team, and purposeless without a ministry plan.  These last few days I've barely left the comfort of my bedroom, hoping that reading my Bible and listening to Christian music would suffice God's calling and plan on my life at home…. Nope, not at all! He has clearly spoken reminding me that as Christians our jobs are never done. Thanks to some really caring and loving teammates I had a pretty life-changing realization...
