Prayer Warrior

These last few weeks, our team has been working with a church called New Song, located in the nearby village of Candelaria. A few weeks back, I decided I wanted to learn more about prayer, specifically intercessory prayer. So when I was given the chance to lead a Bible study, I decided prayer was the topic to teach on, and in teaching I learned much more about prayer for myself. God has a way of exceeding expectations, of going above and beyond what I could have hoped for when I decided to learn about prayer. The greatest lesson in prayer came from observation, experience, and being in the...

Reflections

As I sat down for church service at NewSong after playing a worship set that Marcus, Shawndell and I got asked to do 15 minutes before church started (we keep it exciting here in Nica), I decided to get out my journal and write down some thoughts I was getting. At first, they were just about how in awe I was of the way God was working in the lives of the community at NewSong, the ways He was changing their lives and ways of thinking. And as I was writing, all I could think of was how much I want to be a part of that! To be so filled with the Spirit that it just overflows...

I lay on the cold metal table as the doctor slowly slides the needle further and further into my vein. The new blood is injected into my body replacing the blood that was once present. It is true; my blood will never be the same. But the pain is worth it; this new blood runs through my veins keeping me alive. Okay, so maybe I haven’t had an actual blood transfusion but I have no doubt in my mind that NICA runs through my veins. During debrief this morning I was given a piece of paper titled, Debriefing My Experience. It had columns for both the “Great Things”...

Life on the Field

Proclaim His salvation day after day. Declare His glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among the peoples. (Psalm 97:2-3) The other day I posted on facebook telling you to read one of my friends blogs about a healing that happened through our prayers. I said that I was not going to write about it but I have been nudged by God to share this story with you so here it is… A few days ago I went out into the village of Candelaria to evangelize. Those who went with me were Allegra, Lisa, Rosa, and Coni. The first house we visited was Rosa’s...

You Are My God, You Are My All: Spoken Word

This is a spoken word that God gave me the night that I was literally on the ground pleading to Him because I was very sick with extreme stomach pain. It is crazy the way God works through our weakness! I shared my spoken word with my teammates just the other night at our bonfire, and I thought I would share it with you too! Hope you enjoy 🙂 You are my GOD. YOU ARE MY ALL. So why is it that I hear no answers to my call? Is it because I am running, running from you? Why don’t I believe that your WORD is TRUE? You are my GOD. YOU ARE MY ALL. But it seems that no matter...

Is Jesus really God? (Part 2)

This blog is a continued blog… Through conversation we found out that Jason did know about bits and pieces of the word but only through stumbling upon it somewhere. He told us that he had never read the bible and that we were the first people who have ever told him about Jesus. Blake is a 24 year old man from Arizona who joined the conversation when he overheard us talking about Jesus. When he came into the conversation and started speaking about God something in my being did not sit right. I kept thinking that he was sitting in on our conversation trying to twist the truth somehow...
