How fickle my heart and how woozy my eyes… Packing for Thailand, I couldn’t have been more excited. I was ready. I had all the necessities and was prepared for my summer of adventure. The only thing I was not looking forward to was training camp. I thought it was going to be a waste of time when we could be out and that we were losing time to work at the SHE house (more of that later). I was pleased with what I learned we would be doing and the organization that we were partnering up with, so most of my fears had been put to ease. Arriving at camp, I was...

This Strip Isn’t a Tease

In case you were wondering: God is alive! The Holy Spirit is alive! Christ is alive! AND He is living in YOU. Do you get that? Christ is inside of you. When God looks at you He sees his Son. He sees the one whom He looked down upon and declared, "You are my beloved Son, and I am fully pleased with you." Absorb that for a minute. This is what God has reminded me of at training camp. It is Christ living in me. My old, wretched, sinful self died with Christ and He has freed me. He has stripped off my old nature and clothed me with a brand new nature that is...

Sawasdeekha friends and family!! Welcome to my first-ever blog post. The adventure has begun! We are alive and well in Bangkok. I am beyond excited to be in this diverse city!! Training camp was great! It was literally Summer camp, but for college students who love Jesus. Camp was complete with log cabins, wilderness and bunk beds. AIM has challenged and enabled us to go into our distinctive mission fields with confidence. I love the openess on our team. We have had some awesome...

Shining Like Stars

Upon arriving at training camp, my team and I were instructed to choose three items from our belongings and told that we would be spending the night in the woods! “Choose wisely,” the leaders told us, because we would not be able to return to our suitcase until 9:30 the next morning. I’ll admit.. I was a little shocked, but I put a smile on my face, grabbed my pillow, sheet, and bible and decided to make the best of it! Six hours later, around 2AM … laying on the hard ground, sharing a small sheet with 4 other girls (spooning for warmth!).. I became...

“Lord I want more of you…living water rain down on me…”

You might wonder how it's possible for 22 young girls to be trained for a summer fighting sex trafficking in Thailand over a mere four days…well it turns out that nothing can really truly prepare us. Which I believe is exactly how God prefers it. We were in Chattanooga, Tennessee from Friday afternoon until Tuesday morning, enjoying the lush green forestry and sweating A LOT! (which was definitely a preparation for Thailand in and of itself). Although the thought of leaving tomorrow morning to head off scares us all to death, it...

My Training Camp has been one of the greatest things that I have ever been involved in. I can honestly say that it has completely changed my life. It’s been an amazing way to get to know my team mates and build community between us and learn more about the Lord together. I have learned so much about myself and the adventures I will soon be having. Not to mention we’ve been dancing our butts off! Spiritually, training camp has taught me that I have a voice and the Lord will use it to minister...
