Go Now Missions

A lot of really great people in my life encouraged me to do Go Now Missions this summer. 

Most of the world is asleep at 4 o'clock in the morning. I am normally asleep at 4 in the morning, but not today. 

It was one of our rougher apartment complexes. I was warned that the kids were typically loud, disrespectful and disobedient.

I have learned so much about God's character in the time I have been in Southeast Asia and this last month really helped me put all my thoughts together.

When you think of East Asia, what do you see? What do you think of?

We've just finished our first week of having residential campers here at Frontier Lodge! 

I'm living in one of the largest Muslim-populated countries in the world. I'm only here for two months, but my trip is during a really interesting time.

As we walked up to the tree, my heart sank. I knew exactly what our next activity was on our trek in the woods with the YD adventures crew.

It was a beautiful, sunny morning. Becca and I were walking through the Fountain Park apartment complex and praying for all the people living there. 

I looked up in the busy, chaotic room of waiting people. They were gathered in clumps decorated with hyper children.

My time in Savannah so far has been filled to the brim with new experiences, new restaurants, new places and even seeing a couple of celebrities! 

It's almost been two whole months here in Portland, Oregon. Time seems to be flying by, but you can be certain that God continues to do what He promises.

Growing up in the South meant everyone had heard of God and Christianity. That was just the way life was. 

A few things I've learned (and relearned) from being here in South Africa, reading a bunch of great books and hearing some awesome speakers.

Photobombing, it's not how I typically try to meet strangers, and definitely not how I try to start friendships.

I am 20 years old. In the eyes of society, I still have a ways to go in life, but I am slowly and surely gaining responsibility and freedom. 

I want to share the story of Pastor Josh. Pastor Josh graduated from Norwich Free Academy in 1987. 

I stopped to be still and just feel the Lord's presence. It had been a long day and it was only noon, but the Lord had been at work since before the day even started.
