   Martin Luther King Jr was well-known by the ground shaking speech he gave to end slavery. This Speech, “I Have A Dream” was his heart’s cry.      Monday night our team experienced life on the streets of downtown Atlanta from 10pm to around 3am. It really opened our eyes and God showed us His heart for the homeless. At 12am we found a spot and started praying about what God wanted us to sacrifice on this trip.      When I was 16, God gave me a dream to be a missionary to India. I have always waited for God to open...

Based on the session by Kelly Wednesday night: “My child, listen to what I have to say, and treasure my commands, tune your ears to wisdom, and concentrate on understanding. Cry out for insidght and ask for understanding.” Proverbs 2:1-3 Some of us are scared for the world. Some of us ask ourselves, if we don’t change the world, who will? The presence of God does the only thing it can, change everything. And I have the presence of God in me, so the only thing I can do is change everything! God is going to use me to answer other peoples prayer. He will use me to give...

That pretty much sums up how this week has gone for me. I have already had a lot of growth and new experiences, but I wouldn’t trade this for anything. I have been writing in my journal practically every day and have about 9 pages of experiences, so it is a little hard to condense. But I’ve decided on two main events: Being homeless in downtown Atlanta and painting our team vision canvas. Monday night we were surprised to find that we were going to be living as if we were homeless for 6 hours from 10 P.M. to 4 A.M. While it was exceptionally cold, I don’t think we would...

My dad came home tonight and he was very excited to tell me a story that he heard today. He was talking to a friend about my trip to India that is just around the corner. Through many conversations with my dad we have noticed a pattern… It is hard to see some things that are realities in a lot of peoples lives.   The poverty in many countries is something you can never shake… it’s something you will never forget. I long to keep going. to keep helping. but sometimes I wonder am I even making a difference? Yet there are so many amazing stories that come out of the...

Hello to Everyone,   I hope everyone had a great holiday with their families and friends. First of, I apologize for not staying in complete contact with you all; I just got back a little while ago from Spain so I have had some family stuff to take care of. Now, I am back so I would like to say a few things.   I am excited and I know Katie is as well to meet you all. Thanks to everyone who posted their first post and let us know a bit about yourself. If you haven’t posted already, I would like to encourage you to do so. This gives Katie and I a chance to hear a little bit...

So our trip is about two-thirds of the way through. Some things have been what I have expected; some things have been very different from what I was expecting. I came on this trip trying to not have expectations, but I think that is humanly impossible. The thing that most is different from what I was anticipating is actually ministry itself. How I have seen God move in the US and the type of ministry that happens there is so very different from what goes down here in India. First of all conversion to Christianity is illegal. That makes street evangelism like I am used to very dangerous and...
