I was born in Dallas, Texas and have lived my whole life in a suburb right outside of Dallas called Mesquite. Right now I am finishing up my fourth semester at a community college in Mesquite. I will be transferring to Blinn Community College in College Station in the fall. Hopefully following after I will be going to A&M to major in psychology. My ideal job would be to work in a non profit organization helping other people, or working with a church a Mon, 15 Mar 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://ambercasey.myadventures.org/index.asp?filename=the-beautiful-work-of-vida-joven http://ambercasey.myadventures.org/index.asp?filename=the-beautiful-work-of-vida-joven If you have ever been to a young life event in the United States, you know what a good thing it is for the kids of the community. Here in Granada, Vida Joven (young life) is a program that gives young people a place to go and "hang out" with other young people, while sharing God with them and a way to help raise up out of a generation that is being constantly bombarded with drugs, alcohol, and fighting. Our team has made friends with so many young lifers who come to the program each week (at El Mon, 15 Mar 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://10ba0604rl8.myadventures.org/index.asp?filename=bio-and-pic http://10ba0604rl8.myadventures.org/index.asp?filename=bio-and-pic namaste :)   my name is emily and i'm nineteen. i grew up in a small town in texas called bulverde. i'm a freshman in college and currently, i go to the university of texas at san antonio but (God willing) i'll be transferring to the university of texas at austin next year and majoring in religion. i'm the oldest kid in my family. i have one sister named lilia, a mom, a dad, and the coolest dog ever named ginger.   you could say i have a pretty big heart for missions. someday i Mon, 15 Mar 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://joshwoodmansee.theworldrace.org/index.asp?filename=how-can-you-help-support-part-1 http://joshwoodmansee.theworldrace.org/index.asp?filename=how-can-you-help-support-part-1 Melina NEEDS your Help!

This month our ministry (Trumpets of One) is a prison ministry at the Rizal Provincial Jail. We are to have bible studies and just fellowship with the women. The men will be doing the same and playing basketball. The "first" day of ministry we were denied. We were told we had approval but did not.

I am at an internet cafe in Cape Coast, Africa!  My time so far in Ghana has been very blessed.  We are working with the same ministry I worked with last March, Campus Crusade for Christ.  I am acting as the "point man" for both my team and team Newsong.

Adore by definition is : To regard with deep, often rapturous love. To regard with great awe and devotion. To feel deep, devoted love for. To like or enjoy enthusiastically, often excessively: delight (in). Was I adoring God? Did I truly even understand what that meant to adore anything? By human nature, we throw words around very easily. For example LOVE. I always say "I love, love."

He stared up at me from his wheelchair in eager expectation. I'm not even sure I could believe the words that came out of my mouth, but I'm sure that I spoke them in faith. We spent the afternoon doing a treasure hunt, a scavenger hunt of sorts where we asked God for clues and things to look for.

But alas here I am, 100% blessed to revisit the location of my first month of ministry. Join me for a little video glimpse into God's handiwork here in Manila...

And words do not justify how this cruel reality happens.   A dump.... A shelter? I am puzzled. Generations of rubbish...  A home? A pile of garbage... A crib for a suffering infant? An aluminum kitchen island... A bed for a family of three? This is their reality. AND THIS IS NOT OKAY. Lord, I found you amongst the heaps of trash.  I know you walked these Mon, 15 Mar 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://sarahhoffman.theworldrace.org/index.asp?filename=beauty-for-ashes http://sarahhoffman.theworldrace.org/index.asp?filename=beauty-for-ashes One of the things I love most about being a girl is that we have the ability to both laugh and cry at the same time. On Friday, Team Radiance and Crossover Ministry put on a Beauty for Ashes party for the girls we have been ministering to these past few weeks. We desired an opportunity for them to discover their beauty, value, and identity in Christ. We offered them a day filled with laughter, chica-chica (girl talk), dancing, beauty treatments, photo shoots, and o Mon, 15 Mar 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://halleypower.theworldrace.org/index.asp?filename=you-want-cake-you-got-cake http://halleypower.theworldrace.org/index.asp?filename=you-want-cake-you-got-cake If you know me well, or if you just pay attention to my blogs, you know the following things: First of all, I really like movies. Second, my mind works through analogies. I've been trying to figure out how to explain where I am in my journey right now. I don't consider myself to be very good at "expressing my feelings" or conversing at all for that matter. But today the perfect illustration came to mind. I absolutely adore the movie Matilda. This movie is about a young girl that just doesn't fe Mon, 15 Mar 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://10ht0630amb2.myadventures.org/index.asp?filename=training-camp-travel-information http://10ht0630amb2.myadventures.org/index.asp?filename=training-camp-travel-information   Announcing Training Camp June 30 Below you will find critical information concerning your Training Camp.

Or, maybe not something huge, but something really different. Something out of the norm for your life. Something that makes you nervous, excited or even fearful. Things like this can often shape us, the things we would have looked forward to if we weren't freaking out. They are the moments in any given time period that we remember the most about. The part when it's all crazy and it's all great. "The Breakdown" I know what you proba Mon, 15 Mar 2010 00:00:00 GMT
