I'm Back!!!


Hello everyone!!! I'm finally back from outreach and home from Hong Kong. We got into Hong Kong last week, finished the DTS and had graduation. Us girls spent some time on the beach and shopping and we all watched tons of movies!!! It was great to spend time together before we all went our separate ways.

Outreach was absolutely amazing!!! God moved in such amazing ways! The team I was on saw 2 people come to Christ and the other team had about 7, I believe! We were all able to make many friends and to share Jesus in every city we were in. I truly believe God really used us to plant seeds and break the ground for more and more people. He has such great plans that are beyond what I can imagine. Even just through Spiritual Warfare, God moved a lot. He told us what to pray for and what strongholds to pray against and it prepared a way for us to meet people and talk with them. Each and every person I met was so evidently meant for us to meet. God provided understanding through language barriers, opportunities to share His name and to share how He has helped me in my life, and many other amazing things.

I wish I could explain it, but I just can't find the words. Everything that comes to my mind seems so vague and doesn't do justice to what I experienced. But if I had to sum up my time in Asia, I would have to say it truly was all about relationships: my relationship with Jesus, with my team, and with the people I met in this great nation. God taught me so much through these people as well as through the people on my team. It was hard at times, but HE is so faithful to lead me in His truth. He showed me His heart for me, for my team, and for these people. I saw how He loves them and how it breaks His heart when they don't know Him. He has such great plans for everyone and I can see how much God wants His people to live in the fullness of His love and grace.

I wish I could explain everything here, but I know that would get ridiculously long...so I will leave it at this, and I can't wait to share more with you all :) Thanks again so much for the prayers and support throughout this journey in my life.
