New Zeal(-land)

Oh, New Zealand. Where do I even start? There’s so much more to this place than I ever would have expected, and I think God will continue to reveal more – more of His heart for this land and for these people. His people – His creation; His children that He loves so dearly. The more I’ve thought about it, the more sense it makes that the country the Lord sent me to is called New Zealand. See, all semester God has been calling me into deeper intimacy with Him and making me fall more in love with Him every day. The name itself shows me that this is the place...

Something God gave me on the flight from LAX to Sydney.

As we flew to LA, we chased the sun. It seem that though we left at 8PM and flew for near to four hours, the sun was ever with us. As we flew to Sydney, we chased the moon. The flight over the Pacific was one of darkness always following along, even over the long 15 hours. Sometimes the night seems to last the longest. The darkness seems to overwhelm. The sun seems to refuse to rise. And relief seems to never come. Take heart, He said, I have overcome the world. You will have trouble. You will have pain and darkness. In the nights where the goblins of fear and deceit...

Safe Arrival!

Emily, one of the New Zealand leaders contacted me late last night as their layover in Australia was extended eight hours due to a delayed flight to New Zealand. However, I just got off the phone with the other team leader, Megan, this morning and they have arrived in New Zealand! They are currently in route to their ministry site at "El Rancho". Now they will spend some time orientating to the new culture and ministry that will cover their days for the two months ahead. There should be some blogs rolling out over the next week as they get into a routine...

A time for New Zeal.

Training Camp

So. Today, the journey begins… Today, I board a plane that will take me across the world to a different place. And I am so ready for what the Author of Life has planned for this next chapter in my life. In a few hours, I will board with my team, ,and thirty hours after that, I will reunite with my suitcase filled with sweaters, leggings, and gloves in Wellington, New Zealand. In case you are unaware, (as I was when I felt called to this trip), this "summer" in New Zealand is actually winter. So God is literally bringing me into a new...

Well, I 've been slacking hard core on blogging this time around. Sorry about that. We've been busy and when we aren't busy I've been lazy. True story. However, God has been doing some incredible things this summer (or winter here). Earlier this month we did two weeks of kids camp which was so great. And we just got back last night from a trip to the South Island which was so wonderful. At kids camp we sang a song with some sweet dance moves, but when I really meditated on the lyrics I realized how much truth is actually in the song. I...

So as you all may know, team America just got back from our excursion in South Island. As you also may know, God did work! We were faced with so many opportunities to share God's love and Truth. We even came across many miracles. One that stuck out to me was the time we had a healing for a guy who just had ankle surgery. We also went to the mall in Christchurch. There, we played a treasure hunting game where the Lord gave us clues for people to pray for. For me, I got the description of a man who was all dressed in black and had long hair. For what seemed like forever, I finally came...
