Where to even start?! The past couple of weeks have been filled with my favorite moments of Brazil. Not only has there been a lot of fun involved in this experience of discovering a new place, people, and culture, but I have seen God move in my heart and in the hearts of those around me in our time here in Ubatuba.
There are a few things that if you come to Brazil you should never forget: your swim suit, your rain coat, your smile, and your alarm clock . This little town of Ubatuba is crammed full of over 102 beaches. I have been here almost two weeks and I am ashamed to say that I have only been to about two of them, and I have yet to make it into the water. (rest assured, it will happen) Now, it being rainy season and all here, it can be kind of a downer to be walking down the street...
“Where you invest your love, you invest your life” - Mumford and Sons Recently, I have been thinking about what it means to invest in relationships. Although that takes many different forms, shapes and sizes, there is one thing that is at the very foundation of a good solid investment…Love. In my experience, I have found it is easy to go throughout the day and be surrounded by people with which you talk to and work with, but I find that it is a totally different thing to stop and intentionally know that person. To know them is...
We made it back to Jeffrey's Bay! What an amazing time we had in Coffee Bay and it couldn't have been any better! After beginning the journey with the call, faith, and expectation that God would provide in our hearts, He did that and more . The journey home, the faith only had to continue. With only a little money in our pockets, we had the challenge of getting back to Jeffrey's Bay (9 hour trip) on faith; asking God to provide for us every step of the way. I can testify that God was faithful...
As I write, we are on our way home from an incredible faith journey. A week and a half ago we set out to Port Elizabeth in hopes that we would make it to Coffee Bay in the Transkei in South Africa. Once in Port Elizabeth, we went out into the streets with cans and told people about our mission to go to Coffee Bay and build a fence and playground for the kids. Over the course of three hours we were able to raise 18,000 South African rand for our journey. So, we left on our journey!

Hello everyone! I wanted to touch base and keep you up to date with the exciting things that are happening here in South Africa! I know that it has been a while since you have heard from me, but I promise you I have not slowed down since I got here almost a month ago now. Looking back over the last month, we have been able to accomplish a lot. I, along with 14 other team members and 3 other teams from our organization have been doing local mission projects in the Jeffreys Bay area. From building...
There are points in my life that I can’t deny what I feel led to do. With that, every obstacle, hurdle, and challenge become something that may be hard to overcome, but there is no longer a question of whether I can overcome them. Last November, I was hanging out with God. We were talking about things that were happening then, but also I was asking Him about what goals He wanted me to work towards in the future. He began showing me that I needed to participate in Global Challenge. Immediately I came up with a list of...
