YOLO.

You only live once, might as well do some crazy things, like watch chicken get killed, see a bird come out of a snakes mouth (it was pretty much throwing it up), or go to Nicaragua for two months with people you don't know who will become like your family. We’ve been in Nicaragua for four days, and I already feel like I’ve been year for so much longer. We are staying in Sicrin Orphanage (it’s a super legit orphanage that strives to share God’s love with the children living there). We are super crazy blessed with our living situations.. we got fans and...

We just spoke with the team leaders and they've all arrived safely in Nicaragua. They are in route to their ministry site via some very long bus rides and will be settling in these next few 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

Woah

Training Camp

Woah Woah is such a convenient word! If you start to think about it, you begin to realize how many different moments you can use it for. Shocked, confused, in awe, and amazed all represent what woah can be used for. I think that the word woah describes my time here at training camp perfectly. I have been shocked, I have been a bit confused at times, but most definitely I have been amazed. I am amazed how in only four days by how much I have been able to learn about myself and amazed at how 15 people from across the states can bond so easily with each other. People have...

We are one.

I love the power of prayer and I love how God speaks to us when we are willing to listen. For the weeks leading up to camp, I prayed for repeatedly for close-knit bonds and against the fears of regection or seperation that often come about in large groups. I honestly had a huge fear of us picking and choosing our groups of friends based off of traits we're comfortable with and what we have been used to. The first day in our team talk, we chose the word "family" to describe our central movement as a group. We prayed for love, courage, and unity for each other. We also talked a...

Using My Voice

Training Camp

2 Corinthians 4:13-15 It is written: "I believed; therefore I have spoken." With that same spirit of faith we also believe and therefore speak, because we know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead will also raise us with Jesus and present us with you in his presence. All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God. I've been reminded at training camp that I have to use my voice. I rely so often on saying that I am a quiet girl so I don't have to be the one to speak...

The Good Ole South

As a native California girl, I never thought I would say this, but I love the South. I have had some really good fried chicken and seen some adorable houses with porches and rocking chairs. Chivalry is very much alive and well here. Georgia also enjoys naming everything after peaches, making it difficult to differentiate between freeway exits. Residing in Northeastern Georgia, training camp with the Adventures in Missions has definitely been an adventure thus far. We attend two spiritual sessions a day and participate in team bonding activities. Some of our team bonding...
