Missions!!

Hi everyone!! :)

Okay, so today I wanted to talk about something that has been really close to my heart since I was a young person! ....and that is mission trips!! I was first opened up to Global Expeditions through a wonderful place called Teen Mania Ministries! I went on my first mission trip with them to Jamaica when I was just 16 years old! Then a few years later, I did an in country trip to New Orleans. Both trips were very impacting on my life in regards to my relationship to God and also on understanding the part I have to play in the fulfillment of the great commission as a Christian. Moving ahead to when I was 20 years old, my sister and I did an independent mission to Oaxaca, Mexico to a missions base called Roca Blanca where we had the opportunity to reach out to many different people in the month we spent there! Then...even further down the road I was connected to a wonderful ministry in Henderson, Kentucky called The Father's House with whom I have been on two major trips with. One to Israel and one to Guatemala!

So, bottom line. I LOVE MISSIONS! :) I love being out of country. I love loving people and telling them about how much Jesus loves them!! I love seeing new cultures and new life and new ways of doing life! There's just a lot of love! Haha! But.....now. For my next en-devour! I have recently (through my boyfriend!) been connected to a missions organization in Evansville, IN called Uncharted International and am going on a trip with them this coming May!! It's going to be so amazing! I will be in the country of Myanmar for 10 days and I couldn't be more excited!! It will be my first time to Southeast Asia and it'll be my first trip out of the country in quite some time! So, I feel ready!! I'm still raising money for the trip, and I made a donation page if you want to check it out! My Fundraising Page!! :D But mostly I just wanted to blog about missions!! Cuz I love it!! And I can't wait to be boarding the plane in about 55 days!!!!
