One thing I have been extremely thankful for this week is that our God is a God of both great joy and laughter, and also spiritual, fruitful conversations and moments.   In one of my previous blogs I talked about how God has really been breaking down walls inside of me pertaining to prayer. And this has not stopped at all. The team has had a few opportunities to go to a clinic to pray for patients, something before this trip I would have been so nervous and even reluctant to do. But each week we go, I am more and more excited to go and see how the Holy Spirit will work. Earlier in the...

I'm not quite sure how it happened, but over the course of these past 2 months, my role on the team has come to include frequently reminding everyone that God is sovereign.
