First Week of Ministry in Cambodia!

10/29/22 Hi from Siem Reap, Cambodia! After five days of wandering in sleepy airports, a thirteen hour plane ride, a San Francisco layover, a Taiwan airport visit, seeing the Lord open & close doors, and a few days of being tourists in Phnom Penh, we made it to our new home! On Tuesday my team started our ministry and met our hosts, Ralph & Jane, who run Victory church. This week, and for the next two months, we g...

What the Lord taught me in North Carolina!

10/10/2022 Our girls have spent the last two weeks ministering and serving different parts of the community in Black Mountain, North Carolina. Ministry looked different almost every day - some days were spent weeding the community garden, some helping Black Mountain Home for Children get ready for their Fall Festival, others painting rooms at summer camps, some scraping wallpaper off church walls. Going into th...

Training Camp Review

 9/26/2022 These last four weeks of training camp in Gainesville, GA have been so impactful. I’ve been challenged, grown, and learned so much about living in community, tangible ways to share the gospel, biblical theology, how God speaks, other cultures and lifestyles, and so much more knowledge that I’ll not only be able to bring to the field but carry with me the rest of my life. Along with camping, taking bu...

Training Camp Week 1

9/4/2022 “Return home and tell how much God has done for you.” Luke 8v39 I’m officially one week into training camp and I’m overflowing with gratitude for the blessings, wisdom, and miracles that the Lord has lavished on us this week. My squadmates, teammates, and leaders are some of the most devoted, sweetest, kindest, silliest friends I’ve ever known and we are so grateful to be surrounded by each other. I’m ...

Our Life Source

7/7/2022 In John 15, Jesus tells us this:  “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing” (v5).  He couldn’t be more clear. First, He establishes that we were created as branches of Him, therefore sustained in Him alone. For how would a branch be expected to stay alive, let alone bear fruit, if it is cut from it’s vine? N...

A New Season

5/18/2022 Hey! It’s been a while, thought it was time for a life update. I graduate from high school in two days & I leave to work at New Life Ranch for the summer in four days. Life's moving quickly and although it can be sad saying goodbye to an old season of life, it also means that God has prepared a new season for me to rejoice in & learn from. I have complete assurance that the Lord is going to move in a ...

Why World Race & How God Led Me Here

1/19/2022 If you had asked me six months ago what I would be doing after high school I would have told you the college I would go to, the classes I would take, the degrees I would get, and the dorm I was going to stay in. Needless to say, I’ve always liked to plan ahead.  But the Lord’s plans are higher than mine - He knows & made my future.  I had committed my heart to a college and through a mutual connect...
