MY LETTER TO FUTURE GOERS

By on Track: Community Development Region: Africa - North

Dear Future Goer, We are people of the promise. We have been grafted into the family of God and we are blessed to be a blessing. These last two years make me want to change my name to Jacob because I have wrestled with God so much and I have the bruises to show it. I have spent so much time wandering in the wilderness, sometimes quite literally. (Shoutout to you my beloved East Africa.) Yet, at the end of my wandering, I find myself on the edge of the Jordan, anxious because I think "this is it". I am here, where God's promises meet my obedience and wandering soul. When I’ve been hungry… Read more >>

Confession Time

By on Track: Community Development Region: Africa - North

So confession to make, I'm not exactly a poster child for an "accomplished" cross cultural worker. I have been based in three different countries and continents in the last year and a half. I didn't get too far in language learning because my heart was learning the language of being uprooted again and again. I kept offering out of a tank that was empty, believing I was modeling healthy ways to pour out ones self. As I spiraled downwards, I told myself this was cross cultral work. You go, go, and go and walk away a much better person because of all the things you pushed through… Read more >>

A Prayer

By on Track: Community Development Region: Africa - North

Giver of Life, May we be a people that seek your justice and righteousness. May we we quick to listen, slow to speak and and slow to become angry when we do not understand. May wounds that have been open for years be tended to by a tender Savior. May your good news bring transformational healing in our world today. Show us how to love one another not just in words, but in action. Let us live out a life of kingdom living.  Your kingdom come. Your will be done. On Earth as it is in Heaven.  Amen.     Photo by Tim Mossholder on Unsplash Read more >>

Happy Easter!

By on Track: Community Development Region: Africa - North

Hello all! I don't have any profound thoughts to say right now in this season of change. I'm sure you've had your fair share of thoughts via the news, social media, etc. I just wanted to pop in to share a song that has given me hope in this season. Happy Holy Week my friends. The darkness cannot and will not overcome. He is Risen.    https://youtu.be/LsmksHRQQi0 Read more >>

Life Happens Here Too

By on Track: Community Development Region: Africa - North

I recently entered into a season of rest that required me to leave East Africa.  When I left, there were so many fears. "Do I have a place to belong? Has all of this been for nothing?" My biggest fear: "Life is going to happen without me. I'm missing out on so much."   Three months later, and I've seen that it's true. Life has and does happen without me. The work in East Africa is continuing. Local brothers and sisters are growing in the faith and God is continuing the kingdom work. Problems have risen that have had to be given over to God. Relationships have been built and stories… Read more >>
