Open the eyes of my Heart

Rebecca showed me what she had written and I thought I would share it. Oh, to have faith like a child. "Matthew 18:15-20 We focus on being a family that shares life together as a kingdom. A Kingdom that shall never end and our focus is sharing the gospel to those who are still in need and are hruting and suffering more than we could imagine. They need our help. They need our comfort. When people come to wherever you live, they don't feel at home. They feel lonely and scared. People of America, stand up. Do what God has called you to do! Help people maybe even in your neighborhood that just moved in. Hey, I'm talking to you, you with the red, white, and blue flag. You are so selfish, we are so selfish. Do we know how much the devil is tempting us? Be strong, hold on to God's hand. Jesus had nails in His hands for us, now I think we should do something for Him. He took the punishment that we deserved, He came down with veins of love, when He died he took our...

Words cannot even begin to describe all that God has taught me through life this summer. I am so full. Constantly being filled more with His Grace and His mercy that renews me daily, hourly. Through my summer travels I have seen the transforming Power of the Gospel in minutes as I have watched people’s faces and souls go from confused and searching to resting and found. I could and probably will write story after story about broken people hearing the Gospel for the first time and believing. Accepting Jesus as a whole. And there are not many greater gifts than that. It’s overwhelming to try and fit all that I have learned this summer into words, much less a blog that people could actually understand, but all I can do is try. At the beginning of Trinidad, I asked someone wise for some advice. Anything that he would want to tell young people who seek to further the name of Christ and what he said really got me thinking. He simply said, “never be too good t...

Trinidad. An unforgettable trip for sure. Tomorrow morning at 3:30am I leave for Uganda, Africa. I will try to blog while I'm there, but I'm not sure about the Internet situation. Please be in prayer for our team as we seek to further the magnificent Kingdom of God. God taught me so much, is teaching me so much. And that is my prayer: that the God of everything; life, would continue his work in me. That I would never stop growing. Trinidad was beautiful. It is located right off the coast of South America (we could see Venezuala), and very tropical. So many palm trees and so much humidity. One thing I learned this trip was to never be good enough to stop learning, or to stop growing. Us humans think so highly of ourselves, so much more highly than we out. And one thing I missed before leaving for Trinidad was how I really underestimated the power of the Holy Spirit. For four out of the nine days we were there, we did bible clubs for communities. Our group of 140 split ...
