We invite you all to "post" anything here you'd like to share.... aka. encouragement, thoughts, verses, prayers, anything you want... Our hope & prayer is that this "Blog" would serve to help us record the story behind the awesome Journey the Lord has in store ahead of us, as we set out together this summer to serve Young Life's Mission in Arusha, Tanzania. While we're in Tanzania, we'll be posting "Trip Updates" on this site, to allow family & friends praying for us at home, to be a part of and share in this experience with us. Our Trip will leave out of Atlanta on June 14, & return on June 26. The bottom line here remains simple... this is God's movement, not ours... & He's going to use this journey together with Him into the heart of Africa, to leave our hearts & lives changed forever.
KEEP PRAYING....
"If you CLING to your life, you will LOSE it, but if you GIVE it up for me, you will FIND it." MATTHEW 10:39
"But the one thing we can all agree, all faiths, all ideologies, is that GOD is with the Vulnerable and the Poor. GOD is in the Slums, in the cardboard boxes where the Poor play house... GOD is in the silence of a mother who has infected her child with a virus that will end both their lives... God is in the Cries heard under the rubble of War... GOD is in the Debris of wasted opportunity and lives, and GOD is With Us... If We Are With Them." - Bono
"People ask me, "Doesn't it Paralyze you to walk so closely & intimately with Suffering?" "No," I tell them. "If I've learned anything from my time in AFRICA, it's that though the suffering is overwhelming, so too is the HOPE." - Jena Lee
"He is no fool who GIVES up what he cannot keep, to GAIN what he cannot lose." - Jim Elliott

Hey its Sam, just lettin you all know I'm SUPER EXCITED about this trip, I cant wait to meet all of you guys and I'm really praying that this will be a great success and praying that it will draw me closer to Jesus Christ. You guys rock, and I dont even really know any of you yet....but I'm stoked!
ReplyDeleteI'm really excited as well..its so funny to see how the Lord provides and works sometimes. I mean I am about to go across the world with 12 people I have never met before, but we all have one thing in common, and that is we are all part of the Body of Christ and that is all that matters. I am excited to meet oll of you too :) It has kinda been hard latley for me to prray for the trip and etc. because it is still a month away, and I am dealing with things right now that are in front of my face..but God is good and faithful. He has us all going for a reason, and I pray his kingdom would be glorified through all of us no matter what the cirumstance is, weither at our home, our work, with our families, friends or at Africa.
