Letters from the Church: Ecuador Hello, everyone! Today I want to share an update with you from Boris Salinas in Ecuador. I worked on the Dunamis Foundation compound during my first two months of the World Race in the fall of 2018. We were building a wall to protect the girls who were rescued from sex-trafficking, and they now live there and the compound is a beautiful facility! (You can go back to some of my earl...

Letters from the Church: Cambodia Cambodia was an incredible country that I have grown to love even more in the year since I left. While I cannot imagine the effects that Covid would have on the economy there, my friend Vina explains how God is in control. Vina is a volunteer teacher with low income families and teaches the children English. She also lived in the same house as us in Battambang. Please read her wor...

Letters from the Church: Honduras This is Brian and Cathy Gray. They were my coaches on the World Race. Basically this means that they were the elders of my squad and provided wisdom and prayer for us over the course of our time overseas. They are missionaries in Honduras and this year has been a wild one! Below is a link to their blog which is very detailed about what the Lord has been doing in and through them! ...

Letters from the Church: Uganda Today I will share words from my friend Marcus. Marcus is from South Sudan but he lives in Uganda now. I have never met him in person, but I met him virtually earlier this year. I was facilitating a course called “Blitz Week” for the GlobalU program. The week focuses on helping people find their life values, life vision statement, passions and dreams, and then creating sustainable g...

Today’s letter comes from a man named Dexter Gonda. I met him in Mindanao, which is the largest island in the Philippines. This was back in 2016 when I went on my first mission trip with my mom. Since then, we have been able to keep contact through social media to pray for each other and the ministry that the Lord is doing through each of us. Dexter and his wife are hoping to start a new ministry with some of the tri...

Letters from the Church:Guatemala Oh boy. Angela and Miguel Martinez are an incredible couple that has such a deep love for the Lord. I met them during my time in Guatemala almost two years ago. The way that they love and encourage looks so much like Jesus. I am excited for the day I will be able to reconnect with them in the future! Until then, consider supporting them!     Hello! We are Miguel and...

Hello, from the Adventures in Missions headquarters in Gainesville, Georgia!! I am currently a week into this season of squad leading Gap C and I love them so much already. For those of you who do not know, I am leading the World Race: Gap Year again for another nine months. The World Race changed my life and I am so glad to be able to give another year of my life to their mission of making disciples.  Because of ...

3:59 pm   Blink. Blink. Blink.    It feels strange to be staring at this disappearing line again. It is waiting for me to give my raw and real thoughts and words. What wisdom do you have for the people now? What have you been preparing in that mind of yours? It has been too long.   Honestly? I don’t know. I feel like the Lord was telling me that it was time to say something. To put myself out there....

I was looking through some old notes on my phone and I found this gem from my time in Romania back in October. I decided to write down things that people said that I thought was really funny out of context. If you were on X Squad in Stoenesti, this was the day that Jacob and Jenay made those DISGUSTING soggy meat sandwiches. Good day, good day. Enjoy.   Things I’ve heard today   God, please help Taylor po...

Sometimes I struggle with the thoughts of, "Am I where I am supposed to be? Is this where God wants me? What if I made the wrong choice. Am I wasting my time and resources thus wasting my life?" Then God shows up really big to remind me that He is the good and ultimate provider. Today I woke up to a $1000 donation from a fellow missionary friend in Africa. We haven't talked much, but she felt the Lord telling her ...
