We truly serve an awesome God :)
Training has been simply amazing so far - getting to know the Distant Worlds team has been interesting, while developing my relationship with Christ has been nothing but fulfilling.
Clay in the Hands of the Potter
This blog is me pouring my heart out as I share the amazing things my Heavenly Father has done on this journey. The radical changes He has made in my life is not just beneficial for me, but is also to share with those around me. I want others to experience the same intimacy with their Creator as I have. God is good and His love endures forever!
When you give your life to Christ and submit your past to God, you enter into an agreement with the Almighty. It is a compromise in which He will remove all parts of your being that is not aligned with His will. Your role in the agreement is to submit to Him and have faith in Him. Pretty good deal, right?
And so it begins. One overcast morning in Fusagasuga, Colombia, four team members received their first challenge papers as the Green Team. After tearful goodbyes to the residents of the New Tribes base, we donned our heavy backpacks and started the long walk to the "mercado", or the market.
Welcome to... BRAZIL!! Distant Worlds landed in São Paulo on Tuesday and were split up into smaller groups to go stay with families.
Our bodies have been described as temples of the Holy Spirit and as clay in the hands of the Potter. It is an awe-inspiring, intricate tool for the Kingdom, made according to a blueprint designed by an Almighty God.
(This is still a blog from the Amazon from March) A blog of pictures from our week on the Amazon River After seven amazing days and incredible times soaking in the Word, we are ready for Colombia!
Training ended on a high note Thursday evening and the Global Challengers of 2013 are ready to go! The Commissioning was so special - we gathered at Global Junction, with almost the entire Global Challenge community in attendance. We had a fantastic time swapping stories and memories from training while eating the mouth-watering food they prepared for us. We also received our Global Challenge gear, which really finalized it for me: I am now ready to go into the nations!
Healing. An event that I used to think only ever happened to other people...not to me. It certainly couldn't happen to me in Gamboa, Panama... Or could it?
In the Bible, bread is more than just food. Bread is fellowship. Bread is dependence. Bread is a body. And bread is life. This multi-faceted source of nourishment played the staring role on the stage of my Luke 10 journey.
We serve a faithful God. His providence and His love featured in each of the blessings the Yellow Team received. After a reshuffling of the small teams of Distant Worlds, I am now in a team with Luiza, Kasia, Charné and Fred as my leader.
There is a first time for everything. During our stay here in Santa Marta, I experienced several firsts:
• First time swimming in the Caribbean
• First birthday away from home
• First Word of Knowledge I've ever received
• First prophetic dream received
• First experience with a false prophet
