Trainings been sweet! My team is super legit and I’m stoaked to go to Nicaragua tomorrow morning! The first night we stayed in Atlanta and roamed downtown with instructions to distribute a dollar, start convos, pray for people, and other randomness. It was sweet, we got into some cool convos and Hannah and I met this guy named Ruben. Turns out his wife was in the hospital having their 7th kid which is stinkin ridiculous; as we talked to him it was soooo apparent that he loved his kids a ton. We prayed with him about his family and his wife, and it was really encouraging. He told us...

Our first night of training we were given $1 each and challenged to go out into the streets of Atlanta and allow the spirit to lead us to specific people who really need to be loved and listened to. After much prayer and slight hesitation Jenny, Katie and I were being drawn to a homeless man laying on some stairs of a near by building. As we walked up and started talking to him it became very apparent that he was most likely strung out on some kind of drug. His name is Sherman and the spirit just allowed our attempts to talk to him go smoothly and after 10 minutes he was telling us his...

First night of training we were sent into the streets of downtown Atlanta with nothing but $1 and instructed to evangelize to the homeless. This was an incredibly humbling experience for me. Other than the one dollar, I had nothing to offer the homeless except my words and love, which turned out to be a powerful gift. I talked with and prayed over three different homeless men. It amazed me how THEY were quoting Scripture to ME! I was also amazed how they just want someone to talk to them, listen to them, and just treat them like human beings. I walked away from that experience with...

My life is being completely wrecked for the ordinary. I haven’t even left the country, and I am already different than when I came. Life for me has taken on a different meaning and purpose and I am beyond thrilled at what God’s gonna be doing in my life personally, and as a team in the next two months. It’s gonna be epic. Real life, (and RealLife, too ) for me started Friday night when God began to rock my world for the things of Him. My heart was ripped apart for the needs of my very own country – and city much like my own. We spent the first night at the Safe...

When I first got to training, my anxiety increased. I was terrified of the lack of communication I will have on the field. I realized that what I would be missing was comfort from my family and friends. I would simply miss being with them and they joy they provide. I began to pray that the Lord would provide comfort. His words came to mind,  “And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or lands, for my name’s sake, will receive a hundredfold and will inherit eternal life.” My prayer is that I find all I need in Him....

Hey ya’ll!!  whoaaa so i’m gonna throw it out there that i am SO FREAKING EXCITED to get to Nicaragua but this has been such a stretching experience already!! Our first team bonding activity was a ride on the MARTA (which is, of course, always a good time) to our home for the night. Our journey continued with an epic hike with all our worldly possessions for the next two months through an ABSOLUTE DOWNPOUR on the streets of Atlanta. As much as it sucked being soaked, I don’t think i would’ve wanted to start this trip any other way. For a few reasons. #1 It was...
