It is crazy to think that we are less than a week away from adventuring to Zambia! In this past week, I have been in awe of how God has provided for our team! In the past few months, we have been able to pull off individual fundraising efforts, a t-shirt fundraiser and now a car wash! We raised ...

ZAMBIA: T-26 days until liftoff!
It is insane to think that as I am writing this post, Team Zambia is just 26 days away from heading halfway across the world! As a team, we have worked to hard to fundraise, get to know each other, and prepare our hearts for what we will experience. Our recent T-Shirt Fundraiser brought in $1500 ...
A brave new adventure.
Another adventure is coming, and I am so excited! This year, I will be traveling to Zambia, Africa with a group of nine students and three other leaders between June 12th and 21st.. We're two meetings into our team training, and the electricity around the table is unreal. We've managed to get round one of ...
The Adventures of El Salvador 2.0 – Day 2
Today has been a day full of stories, learning, and adventures! We started off with el Salvadorian coffee, a fantastic breakfast, switching hotels, and attending service at Zurisidai church.

The Adventures Of El Salvador – Day 6
Greetings from El Salvador! Today has been quite the emotion filled day so far. This morning, we learned far more than we worked, thanks to sore muscles and guides who were willing to answer our streams of questions. 🙂 We were able to visit the home garden of a man named Isidro. He was so ...
The Adventures of El Salvador – day 5
The adventures of El Salvador - day 5 Greetings from El Salvador! We have another fantastic day almost behind us.

Before we started working, we stumbled upon a truck that was stuck. Being ...
The Adventures Of El Salvador – day 4
The adventures of El Salvador - day 3 Greetings from El Salvador! We descended upon the ditches again today for round two of attacking the ditch for the water project.
