God IS Greater Than My Expectations

I knew I was meant to be in Nicaragua as soon as I heard "My Heart Will Go On" playing in the distance one morning. One of the workers here plays the saxophone while he tends the goats each day. Needless to say, we have heard a lot of Titanic music this past week! Another reason, is the adorable puppy I get to cuddle with..not to mention the beautiful children and views! This month we are staying at Cicrin Orphanage. It is one of the most beautiful, blessed places I have ever seen. God has done some huge things here in the past 30 years. ...

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

Training Camp

As the kids would say in America, “its opposite day!” (I just used that as my title to pull you in J) When I first arrived in Atlanta I was a little confused as to why we had to spend four days there before moving on to Nicaragua. In my ignorant mind, all we needed was one day of debriefing and we’d be ready to set off and change the world! Boy, was I wrong or what. These past four days have been a time of emotional and physical preparation for the trip, strong relationship bonding with my teammates, and rich worship experiences where the Holy Spirit...

Training Camp

Arriving in Atlanta International Airport, I feel like I wasn't entirely prepared for what God has in store for our team in Nicaragua. Training camp has been a great way to prepare for the upcoming trip, has strengthened me a lot spiritually, and helped me to really bond with the team. I feel like I am a lot more prepared for any hurtles that may come up. The Holy Spirit has been at work in my heart and increased my ability to share the gospel with others, to really listen to God's voice, to speak encouragement into the lives of my teammates, and to prepare myself for the...

Day two/three: Tocca Falls, GA AIM Training Camp In the second day of training camp, I truly felt the presence of God within me! The day started opff with some great worship and then some very powerful words. One of the AIM admins (Jimmy) took control of the sermon and said a very powerful quote, “God works in spite of us.” This means that even when we may think that we don’t have anything to offer or that what we do have to offer isn’t enough, it truly is enough and we do have something to offer to Him. God is so ever present in anything we say and do, and He...

We've almost made it! Training camp is almost over and it has seriously been an adventure in missions! So much has happened that it's hard to put into words. We've been able to learn, play, worship, paint, run, dance, and even play ultimate frisbee. It has been awesome to get to know our team of 15 people who will serve God together in Nicaragua for the next two months. Each of us are so different but that's what makes it beautiful! I cannot wait to love Jesus with them. I think the Lord has been teaching me a lot about surrender this...
