Fighting Human Trafficking in Germany
The Past 2 Years with GoCorps
Ever since the day I hit Berlin soil on September 12, 2013, my mind and soul have been whirring...in a crazy, Spirit-anointed kinda way. I am constantly learning in a way that was not possible for me before in America. In every moment there is something new to process, to take in, to experience, to pray about, to understand, whether it be learning the German language, understanding the one of many cultures in Berlin, discovering our team dynamics, or understanding each individual person and how they see the world.

Love's Pursuit
Ministry with CRU Since November I have begun working with a second ministry, Campus für Christus (CRU).

Climbing the Staircase One Step at a Time
This is an update of the lives of some of the women we are ministering to at Neustart and the steps of redemption God is lovingly bringing them through. J: J is a young Polish girl who was once part of a Satanic cult but whose heart is in a state of seemingly rebellious searching. What I mean by that is she expresses her fears, concerns and questions often in the form of closed remarks or piercingly hateful comments. She talks about how evil God is but continues to bring Him up in conversations and makes jokes about my "relationship" with Him. I see this as a real search of her heart and soul... Read more
