I leave in 4 days, leading a team of 7 along with my co-leader to Fiji for the next 3 months. We are going to be working with a Ministry called Marine Reach, which we will be able to work with some prison ministry, deaf communities, going into villages, and practical work for any that need it. Our heart really is to show people the love of Jesus. So many of youth live a life with no purpose. I know I mentioned a little bit of this in my previous post. This is so much more than just a humanitarian missions trip. There is so much power in Jesus. The gospel is real and we want to proclaim that. God brought me up out of hopeless and I want to see others come into that same freedom! I have more joy and life in my heart than I ever have before! Its so hard to put into words! My vision is Jesus! I want to see the students on my team more in love and transformed by the love of Jesus than anything else and as we fall more in love with Him we will be able to love other people with the same Love that God has loved us. ITS CHANGES US! He satisfies! Without God we have nothing! He is the one! He is the sunstainer of Life, he is the giver of life! We want people to come back into relationship with Him! Thats what is all about. Its not about the rules, its not about having "good morals", God wants to restore our relationship with him because HE loves us that much! So we are going on this trip to share just that. I still need $1200 to cover my food, housing, and transportation while I am there for the next 3 months. For those of you that may not know, Fiji is a 3rd world country and many are in need of hope and the love of Jesus,its not just a vacation spot. Even in the midst of wealth there are people that need to know that they are loved and wanted. People that are lonely and poor in spirit. God came so he could purify, restore, and love those exact people. He did it for me and I want to show others the same. So if you would like to partner with me and my team by supporting me financially and in prayer there is a paypal button to the right where you can give. Thank you so much. If you are feeling like you are one of those that need healing, hope and life. Please contact me. I would love to pray for you and encourage you and tell you about the love and power of God.

A Life with Substance
Outreach time is almost upon us! I am leading an outreach to to Fiji come September. I am getting so excited! We have talked to a few Fijians that are here on our campus and got to learn a bit more about the people. Many people have no hope and live their lives drinking Kava ( a root drink that can make you numb and physically lock your knees). My heart breaks for those that feel as though they have no purpose or life in their hearts! I used to be that way until Jesus came in and showed me who HE was and gave my life and hope in him. We as a team desire to bring that to the people in Fiji. We as well want to go and serve the people in any way that we can, whether that look like cooking a meal for a family or fixing up someones home. I believe that God is going to encounter people with His love, heal them physically, and make them whole emotionally. Weill see the power of God manifested! We are going to see people that are heavy in heart and bound up, be set free!
My life has substance. What I long to see and what God desires to accomplish on this earth will happen not out of just an excitement and zeal but out of a reality of the goodness of God and the power He longs to pour on the broken people of this earth! I need about $2000 to be able to go out and do this. Please pray about partnering with me. There is a paypal button to the right. You can click that and make a one time donation or sign up to support me monthly. Keep us in your prayers. Prayer will break the power of darkness and bring hope where there is none. Pray for freedom and a passion after Gods heart. If you have questions please feel free to contact me. I pray that God will draw near to you today and build you up in him, so that you may have all life and freedom in HIM!
