So its been almost a month here in New Zealand and I cannot even begin to explain the ways the Lord has stretched me, pulled me, loved on me and blessed me.  I've wrestled with what to share with you guys and the Lord has continued to lay this on my heart to share.  I have been growing and learning the gift God has blessed me with of visions.  The Lord has shown me so much through the Holy Spirit and one in particular He has placed on my heart to share.  It was the last night of training camp and during worship I was on my knees before my Maker.  I began to...

God has taught me so much through Christchurch in just one week.  He has revealed Himself to me in many ways and I cannot even begin to explain how incredible it is to experience the presence of God like this.  When we first arrived in Christchurch I felt like we had just entered a battlefield.  The physical damage was so apparent, I couldn't help but hurt for these beautiful people.  Although the physical damage was hard to bear it had no comparison to the emotional and spiritual exhaustion the earthquakes left these people with.  It was so heartbreaking...

Hello Friends and Family! It has now been about 3 weeks into our trip and can I say God is moving mightily! One thing God has been showing me is that I need Him to "rain/reign" in my life, hence the title Let It Rain.  This has been our team slogan since training camp and I was asked the question, what does Let It Rain, mean to me? I prayed about it, that God would show me what exactly it means, to me. As we all know, it rains a lot in New Zealand, especially this time of year! It is also really really cold. I began to get frustrated because I was so cold every day and I was...

To Christchurch: We came to bring you hope to you who have been shaken who had the very ground disapear beneath you to you who have been steadily broken time and time and time again.  September shook your foundations, February broke your backs.  And this Monday wrecked your spirits.  We came to show you that hope is not in the physical.  That peace is in the unbreakable spiritual. In turn you showed us what hopelessness is You showed us what fear is You showed us what anxiety is You showed us what frustration is You showed us what it is to feel what you feel  And...

I will just say that the last week and a half has been absolutley incredible as we have seen and experienced some of the most beautiful terrain God ever created!  Up to this point we have been in Waikanae in the North Island staying at a Christian family camp called El Rancho.  The team has jumped head first into the ministry of cleaning up and painting some of the buildings at the camp to get them ready for upcoming events.  As I'm sure most of you have heard, there were several earthquakes that hit a very weary Christchurch in the last week.  A trip to...

Disclamer: This was written June 6. We have been in NZ for a bit now, and more on that will come later.  “And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind and it filled the entire house where they were sitting.”  Acts 1:19.   I know a God who works in the physical: a spiritual being who chooses to speak and move in ways tangible to a skeptical human.  In the past three days, I have experienced—alongside a family I did not know I had—this God move in the elements.  (Read my teammates blogs, I am sure some of the amazing...
