It was such a privilege and strengthening of my faith to have joined them in 2021 on our trip to Honduras. To say that was a life changing trip is an understatement. I went in confident about all that we had practiced in our training, and knew that the Lord would make up for my lack. What I hadn’t expected was to be asked to lead. I was looking for rest and as many of you know, when you are leading there isn’t always rest. Well, God is bigger than that thought. So, I obeyed my leadership and what God was asking of me…turns out I really didn’t have to lead anything. I just had to show up and be a vessel of the Lord. In that, I made beautiful friendships, played with the cutest kids, and most importantly shared the Gospel with so many people who believed they had to earn their way into Heaven.

This is why I am so excited to join e3 to Columbia! As Jesus said in Matthew 28:19-20, “19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” Again, I want to obey and honor this command. I am beginning my training with my trip mates and looking forward to the ways God will work not only during this trip, but the moments leading up and the years to follow. Please, join me in praying over this trip: the training sessions with the team, the details to make this mission happen, our leadership, and the people in Columbia that we will encounter. I have no doubt that God will not only move in the lives of the people in Columbia, but I trust that He will do a work in all of us as stories like this are shared to encourage our faith.
