Well here I am in month 6 and I'm a little over halfway done. Time is flying by and I really haven't even had much time to look back and take everything in. It's definitely been a fast and crazy journey up to this point. Thus far I have been privileged to work with orphaned children in Ecuador, assist in the efforts to build an orphanage in Peru, assist in the outreach of impoverished villages in Romania, and last month in Ukraine we did a range of things such as loving on abandoned

I wake up and smell the aroma of your Greatness

my hair a mess

makeup smeared

but the worst of all is the condition of my heart

      Thoughts racing, asking for this asking for that.

Be still.

I remember your greatness

Thank you for all that you are

You are God.

I want to know your heart

Ask; and expect to receive

I’ll give you my heart

Featured Racer Jenifer Jones of F squad has lived a life full of challenge and heartache. She felt as though these tragedies robbed her of a childhood and her dream of being a missionary was out of reach. But God uses difficult circumstances to show his power and mercy.

As Jenifer prepared to leave for the Race, she studied the book of Ruth and was challenged as Ruth took off her mourning clothes and moved on with her life. Jenifer heard God speak through Ruth’s story and took off h

Ebenezer...Scrooge?  Nope.  God has been anything but stingy.  70% funded for the World Race.  Thankful...but still praying for other Squadmates provision today who are trying to meet deadline 3 for Launch.  That God would utterly amaze them and do only what He can do which is be AWESOME!

Samuel took a large stone and placed it between the towns of Mizpah and Jeshanah. He named it Ebenezer—"the stone of help"—for he said, "Up to this point t

Greetings from India!

This is our 11th day in India, but I feel like I've been here longer.

By now we know how to get an auto ride almost anywhere we really want to go.

We know key phrases, good places to eat, where the market is and have just gotten a good feel of the city and how to get around.

I feel scandalous if the wind blows my skirt and exposes my ankles.

Modesty here is pretty much the reverse from back home. You can show yo

This month in Ukraine was amazing! The Lord was so good to us. We were able to live in amazing conditions and have amazing ministries this month.  Everyone on the team was able to do at least one ministry that fit who God made them to be! It was amazing to get the opportunity to do something that The Lord built you for. The ministry that I was blessed to do this month was with an amazing woman named Annie.

(Annie is a missionary in the Ukraine with her husband and almost 2 year

I roll out of bed around 6:33 in the mornings.

bundle up for the 45 degree weather.

fill my mug with hot coffee.

put in my headphones for music.

grab my bible.

slip my shoes on.

& walk outside for the perfect timing of the African sun to rise over the mountains.

It is hard to wake up, my eyes are heavy and sleepy; but when the sun hits my face,

I am only filled with joy, thankfulness and praise.

I am in awe of how good my God is.

How powe

So I just wanted to write a little blog about Camp Joy. This our ministry for the month and the kind of people we get to be apart everyday. So we have been at the camp for about a week and then came in a young woman, lets call her Sally, that came to get help with her addiction of heroin. She was a light skin young lady that had to be less than a 100 pounds. She was skin and bones. Her hair was crazy and she laid in bed all day long. Every time she moved, she ached in pain and would talk to hers

Who would I be if I only measured up to the clothes on my back?

I would be every imperfection.

I would be the wrinkle that was missed.

I would be the button that popped off.

I would be the sum of money that paid for fashion.

I would be a brand with a projected reputation.

I would be the clash.

I would be the gaudy accessories.

I would be cheaply manufactured.

I would be presumptuous.

I would be recycled trends.

I would be a make.

I would be unknown.

There are a few options for churches to get a basic church website built via self-serve without having to installing software or use a credit card. Here is a list of online website builder platforms that specifically serve churches and ministries:

Today our team began weeding a field of corn. Not just a small garden or even a large sized one, but an entire corn field in the middle of the beautiful country side of Transnistria. The sun was warm, I was trucking along pulling weeds, thanking the Lord for the high abundance of rain recently that made the unwanted plants come up a whole lot easier. I was listening to a sermon by one of my favorite pastors who always leaves me cracking up and intently thinking about my life with Jesus. I love w

Dear Family and Friends,

Short version: I love you and need your support!

I hope this letter finds you well! I want to let you know about some new things that are going on in my life. As you may know, for the last 2 years, I’ve been working as a children’s social worker in Los Angeles, CA. During this time, I’ve been stretched and stressed in numerous ways that I have not encountered before. However, I have to say that I truly felt that I was living my “dream job&rd

I am in Ethiopia with my family right now. The first couple of weeks were great but I was really struggling spiritually. It just wasn’t what I had expected. I thought God was going to do big things and two weeks had gone by and nothing had really happened.

After being frustrated with myself and God I finally did what I should have done in the first place and just surrendered the rest of this trip to God.

The next day my cousins and I went with my uncle to his old

I pulled out an old t-shirt tonight that I haven't seen in a very long time.  I can't believe I still have it after all these years.  It's a retreat t-shirt from my days as part of Pivotal: A young adults group that I was part of while attending Grace Chapel in Lexington, Mass.   The idea was to have a group for those at a "Pivotal" point in their lives mostly 18 to 25 year olds, in a time of transition.  For me I was transitioning from relying
