Sunday, September 25th, 2011 by Amilah

 Remember those times where you felt extra loved by God? Where He seems to go above and beyond specifically for you; in a special, unique and beautiful way?   Last week I was getting all my finances in order.  I had my money and passport set aside so that I can renew my visa.  I [...]

Each day is marked by one testimony after another!

Tuesday, September 13th, 2011 by Amilah

 A few weeks ago, one of my teeth started causing some problems.  I went to the dentist and they told me that a crack in my tooth was causing problems with my nerve.  I’m pretty sure they gave me a root canal, although the procedures are a little different from back inAmerica.  Since then, I [...]

 Today was freshman move in.  Balloons and banners decorated the university.  I was standing near one of the main entrances, waiting to meet up with a friend.  While waiting, I was watching a young guy with his mom and dad.  They had out their cameras and were taking pictures next to the large university sign [...]

My language teacher walked into our classroom yesterday, and without saying anything, we all knew something was wrong.  He struggled through the first two periods of class, trying his best to stay focused on teaching the class.  When the second period was just about over, he stopped everything he was doing and sat down.  He [...]

Studies with Ivy

Sunday, April 17th, 2011 by Amilah

Ivy is a student that I met probably around September or October. A couple weeks ago, I approached her and asked her if she would like to start studying the Bible with me, and she said it was a great idea but wanted to wait until the middle of June. That week I sent her [...]

Starting a Study

Monday, March 21st, 2011 by Amilah

Last semester, God put it on my heart to start a Bible Study (only using the local language) with a couple of friends.  As I added the idea to my list of goals, I was more than intimidated and even doubted that it could be possible.  I came into this new city with very little [...]

This morning, I was given the incredible blessing of spending forty-five quality minutes with my sister (Nichole) and my three and a half month old niece (Jeannie). It was the first time I was able to Skype my sister in the past couple weeks, so I was more than excited to talk to her and [...]

 For the past couple weeks, I have been taking part in an internship in a city far away from where I live.  It has been an incredible time during which the leader of our parent organization (TM), has been able to share story after story about his past 20 years serving in this area of [...]
