I am currently packing up my stuff and preparing for what God has in store for me in South Africa. This will be my first time out of North America, and also my first time on what might be called a Mission trip. But this trip could not have come at a better time. I just graduated from Macalester College and have no idea what to do with my life. I’m praying that during my time away God will give me a clear calling for my life throughout this trip, and if not I at least hope that He breaks down any self-centeredness and pride in my life and allow my to boldly follow Him as a warrior for Christ. Throughout the fundraising process I have been blown away by how God provides through family and friends. I want thank everyone who supported me financially, spiritually through your prayers, and just for encouraging me on this journey. You have all made this possible for me. Going to Africa has been a dream of mine for about five years now, and I have always wanted to go and serve the African people. To be able to go is a huge blessing. Stay tuned for more updates, stories, struggles, and of course pictures.
