After a three hour flight and a five (I use that number loosely) five hour minibus ride, we have arrived at El Casa Verde in Puerto Barrios!

Walk to surrender

Reflection

As I was told to write down what I need to surrender to God, I kept coming up with these shallow answers; pride and selfishness being the main concepts. I had my answers down, and I was about to easily get up and take my 'stick of burden" through the woods. That wasn't right. God said no. He told me to sit with Him until I really knew what to surrender. I didn't want to go through this, but I knew I had to. I knew God wanted me to. i will say this, the first few days of training camp have been extremely challenging. I was bothered by something,but I wasn't really sure...

I just spoke with the team leaders and the team has arrived safely in Guatemala. They are in route to their ministry site via a five hour bus ride and will be settling in these next few days and getting some orientation from their host. Expect to see some blogs rolling out in the next few days as they find internet. Thanks for all the prayers for this team! Kayla Hindes Passport field support team

Training Camp

Shout out from Team Guatemala at Spring 2013 passport training camp! This morning the air is crisp and the ground is frozen here at training camp in Georgia, but there is a joy and excitement in the eyes of everyone on the team! It has been an incredible few days of preparation, bonding, worship, and being drawn into the Father together as a team. We’re so excited to embark on this journey together. The Lord has been breaking down all of our walls and fears this week as we step into His presence, and I personally am so encouraged to see the hope and joy...

No Shame November

Hello all! Well, I guess I should start out by apologizing for taking a while to write again! This trip has definitely pushed and stretched me in ways I could have never imagined. This past month I decided to live a “No Shame November”. That is where you live a life holding nothing back and refusing to let anything stop you. I learned how much shame can hold you back if you let it. It can stunt the ways God is trying to grow you and blind you to His purpose. Here is a list of some of the areas where God has taught me to push away the shame: The Gospel: That should have...

Episode 9: “There’s so much to be thankful for…”

On the Field

For the full effect of the title of this blog, I recommend that you listen to Josh Groban's song "Thankful." If you're lucky enough to live in the St. Louis area, I oh so highly recommend that you have my dad sing this for you. It will melt your heart! Happy Thanksgiving, folks. Better late than never, right? Who would have thought that my first out-of-country Thanksgiving experience would rank up there with some of my favorite memories of the holidays? But that's exactly what I this Thanksgiving became. It was a chance to stop and bless the 30 or so people that showed...
