New Zealand

So New Zealand is AMAZING!!! It is so beautiful and the people are all very nice and hospitable. My team and I are all very blessed to be working with El Rancho, the staff are all full of Gods love which is really cool. I am so happy to be here, and share Gods love with the kiwis of New Zealand. These next two months are going to be amazing, and God is going to wreck New Zealand and wreck our team as well. I am learning so much about myself each and everyday, and can’t wait to see what the future holds for me when I get back home. I have discovered these amazing things called Tim Tam...

I NEVER WANT TO LEAVE THIS PLACE! From the second I looked out the plane window and saw New Zealand from 30,000 feet in the air, I was in love…seriously. I have never seen a more beautiful, breath-taking, green, exotic, splendid place in my life. God was in the best possible mood when He spoke New Zealand into being because it is absolutely gorgeous. It exceeds any expectations that I could have had coming into this trip big time. I really hope that these next two months do not fly by, but I know that they probably will. The camp we’re staying at, El Rancho, is about 1.5...

We just spoke with the team leaders and they've all arrived safely in New Zealand. They are in route to their ministry site via some very long bus rides and will be settling in these next few days and getting some orientation from their host. Expect to see some blogs rolling out in the next few days as they find internet. Thanks for all the prayers for this team! The Passport field support team

Watch Me Burn

Training Camp

“Catch on fire and others will love to come watch you burn.” â€• John Wesley Fire has been a recurring theme at training camp, as John the Baptist says that Jesus will "baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire" (Matthew 3:11). I truly feel like my spirit has been set on fire with the desire to serve God and share the freeing news of the Gospel with those that have not heard it or put their trust in the Lord. One of the activities that has really impacted me so far has been the "surrender exercise." Everyone was given a peice of firewood upon...

The Adventure Before The Mission

Training Camp

The past 4 days at training camp have been crazy. We've been trained to be missionaries, by missionaries. We've heard from people who've been overseas dozens of times and are speaking from experience as they encourage and advise us, the rookies. We've talked with God, heard from God, given praise and glory to God. We've made instant friends because we're supposed to, but it was easy and could've happened anyway, and I know that soon these friends are going to become family. We've already seen God at work and we haven't even left the country yet....
