Peace Be Still
For the first time in the many months of outreaches, no village could take us or they continued to cancel. I wore every no and cancelation, because we had asked for a break but we were asked to continue. I was afraid of the thoughts of the team and those in leadership over me. I was afraid of their disappointment. This was a very lonely and anxious time as I feared man. I lost the vision of why I am here and even why I am in this position. It’s crazy to think something so simple and out of my control made me falter so much. I didn’t even know how far away my vision of… Read more >>
Eyes to See
We started the week off by setting up a wellness and eye clinic for the village translators. Something that seemed so simple turned into a spark of joy.

I then came down with the stomach bug and spent three days in bed and I can truly day it was the most healing week.

Crying over fear, unmet expectations, and the ache of longing… Read more >>
Talking Story
In YWAM and PNG they have a term called Talk Story. This simply means let's sit down and tell each other about our lives without worrying about time or the to-do list. Just sit and be with me. So I am going to sit and talk story about two of the villages we went to on our last outreach. There was a mother I was taking care of with two small children after receiving care they went over to our prayer station. One of our DTS leaders got to pray over her and as I looked over I saw the woman crying. Later the leader shared with us how the LORD had told her to pray… Read more >>
