Phase One Done

Time has moved so fast! I can remember ten months ago when I had catch-up coffee with a friend and that is when God opened the door for the mission school! Then four months ago I moved in to an apartment complex with  ten other people! We went on a camping trip to get to know each other. And now we have gone through 13 weeks of life together and we are still alive :)

We have gone through 13 weeks of trying to drink out of a gushing fire hose of information! It has been great, but now my brain is like dead! It is so good don't get me wrong, just very hard to now process everything. Time to dig for the gold nuggets:)

In 11 days we leave for Guatemala on January 3 for two months! I am so excited to see what God is going to do there and in us! I believe He has already started doing things there and here! We are going to be helping the Christian schools in La Limonada. La Limonada is a large slum in Guatemala City. The first couple of weeks we will be helping get the schools ready. Once school is in session we will be leading some sort of art and music class for the kids.

This time has been full of crazy adventures with God and I am excited for more!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Week One in Guatemala :)

Image
This past week we send time getting acclimated to our surroundings here in Guatemala. We did a little of sight seeing and visiting places where we will be working. Sunday we went to an English church (Journey) that is in the school that Heather use to teach, Christian Academy of Guatemala (CAG). In the afternoon we went to Antigua to the markets. Hair wraps Brandon!  pollo compearo Look at that group:) Monday we went on at tour with Joel in Guatemala City. He told us a lot about the history of Guatemala and we started off in the cemetery. Cemeteries in Guatemala are a lot different the US as you will see in some of the pictures. We then proceed to go to the historical district of the city where we were the only white people. Guatemala has been through a lot in the past 60 years between civil war, genocides, and corruption. This is Joel This a place where hundreds of innocent Guatemalans were murder   And then on the other of that

Worship!

Image
This week we had Jeremiah Briggs a former worship leader come speak to us on the topic of worship! This man had a true heart of a worshiper! It was really cool to listen to him speak because he just has a genuine passion to bring glory to God! He has doesn't have a college degree in worship leading, he just taught us from what God has revealed to him through worshiping God. Worship: Submission to and dependence in the Holy Sprit to bring the Father glory through Jesus! The concept of worship is usually just the time of singing before a sermon which is a form of worship, but it is also so much more then that! Worship can be anything in your life that you are bring glory to God! It was really cool to watch this new concept sink in over the week for the community. In the beginning of the week Jeremiah challenged us to think back to our first memory of worship and also where we have seen a true worshiper.  And I thought of this guy for both :)  And as we talked about worship i

Has it already been almost 2 year?!?

Wow, the last time that I posted was in May of 2014. A lot has happened between that time, a lot of change, a lot of transitions. Which ultimately means a lot of fun times, but a lot of hurt and grief. Some of you have stayed updated with me on my transitions, others maybe not (I am not even sure if I have kept up with myself). After the Bridge Street Mission School (BSMS), I went home for a season of rest while working at Target Starbucks :). I had a lot of coffee. During the mission school, I believe the Lord was calling be to stay in the West Side of Grand Rapids. After a couple of months home, I moved back down to Grand Rapids into the Girl's House! Fast forward to November where there were job changes and an internship is formed. I work part time for AVI Foodsystems, while doing "part" time ministry as an intern for the Bridge Street House of Prayer; I was the Pavilion Coordinator. The Pavilion is a free coffee shop ministry, that is a place of safety and r
