Missions

Missions are my passion and I love everything about them. I do not view missions as merely going, serving, leaving. I view them now as partnering/joining in wherever I go. I serve when I see need and I allow others to serve me as it blesses them to use their gifts. I love to learn about other cultures and beliefs because I believe we can find truth all over this world. I always try to be open-minded to views much different than my own, but I travel with the Holy Spirit to guide me with all wisdom. In the end it is all about Jesus for me. He is the savior and redeamer of this world and His Kingdom.

I recently returned from trips to Mexicali with FPC High School group and Mexico City with BAPC college group. I am going to Mozambique on April 14th for three weeks to visit Iris Ministries. Please Pray!

Genocide in Zimbabwe! May 16, 2008

Mozambique Culture May 14, 2008
During my stay the differences in culture fascinated me. I recorded as much as I could to present you a more holistic view of the country. Mozambique is a very superstitious country. Witchdoctors are prominant. Many who come to faith in Jesus were formerly involved in withchcraft. Cats are feared [...]

Healing? May 11, 2008
4/27/08 Instead of going on a weekend outreach I decided to stay at the center and hang out with the boys. My choice was well worth it. Today at church I sat behind a young boy in a makeshift stroller/wheelchair. The boy is sick, very sick. I found out later that he [...]

Love & Joy May 7, 2008
4/18/08 Love… This is the input and output of a Christian. It is the most important thing. When we think of a Christian, love is the word we should think of. I want to love Jesus more. I see these young pastors here who are in love with Jesus (They look younger [...]
