We stood in front of the south gate waiting in anticipation for a local church leader to arrive and take us to our first service. As students passed by us coming and going through the gate the excitement grew within me. All summer long I had been anticipating this night…our first night of worship with [...]
As I looked across the city and watched as the cars and people went underneath the bridge I prayed that the glory of the Lord would be lifted high in the new city. We had all traveled down to a southern city for four intense days of praying over different campuses that we might be [...]
The truth is I only have 12 days left here. I can't believe the end has come so quickly. I have been so busy the past three weeks I have not been able to send out a blog…God is moving in so many different ways it's hard to keep up! Last week I had the [...]
Where to begin this week is hard, not because there is nothing to say, but because the Father was lifted high and I experienced Him in mighty ways all last week.

Through the craziness God has been so faithful! Last week at our fellowship Sonny asked [...]
I hadn't seen them in about a month, I had been praying for them however daily. My first few friends from the first week of returning to this country walked through my door for the Christmas party…I was ecstatic. I had been trying to get a hold of P, J, C, and YY for a [...]
As I sat in the small room with 18 Americans and 8 Muslim converts to Christanity I became overwhelmed with the love of Jesus Christ and the power of His Word. We had traveled to another province to spend Thanksgiving with the other team members from our org. We had been so excited to get [...]
As I told her about how Jesus loves her and wanted her as His child, the Holy Spirit began to flood my heart, overwhelming it with His love. Cindy was hearing the story for the first time and I felt like I was as well. Cindy became a family member that night…it was awesome! She [...]
