It's been a while since I've updated and quite a lot has happened, but I'll start where I left off. Davao city was amazing, but we had an interesting introduction. We started our journey with a fifteen hour layover in the Manila airport, sleeping on the ground overnight. After this we had a quick flight … Continue reading Outreach, Loss, and an Ending
Port Macquarie and Leaving for the Philippines
Hello! Below is our first official outreach update that we sent back to base. We're just wrapping up our first two weeks of official mission work in Port Macquarie. It's been an absolutely amazing time and the lord provided so many incredible people who showed us so much hospitality. It's a bittersweet goodbye, but it's … Continue reading Port Macquarie and Leaving for the Philippines
Halfway
I want to start off by apologizing for how long it's been since I last updated you all! Today marks three months since I landed here in Australia, it really blows my mind how time is flying by. Since the last update quite a few major things have happened. The first is that after spending … Continue reading Halfway
Prayers Needed
Hello everyone, our group (and me) really could use your prayers right now. We're in the middle of our three week road trip. We started a week ago in Byron Bay (Think Asheville mixed with Folly Beach), and things were very difficult. The spiritual atmosphere was dark and very heavy. We spent the majority of … Continue reading Prayers Needed
Sand Dunes, Stoicism, and the Next Steps

We went out for our first taste of … Continue reading Sand Dunes, Stoicism, and the Next Steps

Basically we packed up some things and headed off into the bush to a campsite to teach everyone the basics of camping and the usual first week things. The coolest part was that every night we would all gather … Continue reading Our First Trip and Lectures
Arrival! And A Backwards Way of Life
I've made it! After far too many hours spent on airplanes and three airplane meals later I've landed in Brisbane. I have to admit that the idea of traveling across the world was a very intimidating one and more than once on the ride over I found myself beginning to feel overwhelmed or a bit … Continue reading Arrival! And A Backwards Way of Life
July 18th Update
I have to keep this relatively brief seeing as I don't have too much off time this morning. This summer has been incredible. The Lord is stretching me and pulling me in so many ways. The biggest thing that has stood out to me is how I'm finally seeing why God has put me through … Continue reading July 18th Update
Camp Update 5-26-2019
Hello! It's been a while. I'm finally settled in at St. Christopher. The past month has been a bit of a whirlwind for me and I haven't had much time to slow down and gather up my thoughts. It's beginning to hit me that I'm really starting to leave for Australia in just a few … Continue reading Camp Update 5-26-2019
April 22nd Update
Spring has finally sprung! It’s been about two weeks since my last update and I’ve been lucky enough to have gone on two incredible backpacking/outdoor trips. The first weekend we went paddling on lake Jocassee and had a great time. It was supposed to rain all weekend but we were blessed with two full days … Continue reading April 22nd Update
