Team Update:
The time is moving quickly toward our departure. It is moving quickly towards the goal that we have all been working hard for. The day that we embark on this journey for the glory of God and the gospel of Jesus Christ is almost at hand.
When we all agreed to trust God for this trip to happen we knew only He could provide.
God has provided!
All our money is in! God keeps His record of 100% provision. In the past 8 trips that we have done as a student ministry God has always come through. No one has ever stayed home because of a lack of money!
Everyone has their passport. They are gathering their supplies. Team shirts have been made and we are ready to go.
We ask that you would continue to pray for us. We need prayer to get not just our minds but also our hearts prepared for this trip. I have a belief that God will show up in powerful and miraculous ways. We need to be ready to follow the Spirit of God as He leads us in courage, wisdom, and power!
-Pray for our hearts that they will submit to the will of God and love with His love.
-Pray that we will preach the gospel clearly and frequently.
-Pray that many will respond with faith to the word of God.
-Pray that the love of our words and our actions will bring peace, joy, and compassion to many.
As we have shared before, our goal is to update once a day while we are on this trip. So tune in next Friday for our first daily post about the progress of this journey. Sign up on the side bar as a follower to this blog and you'll get updates whenever someone posts.
We are so thankful for all our families and friends that gave generously towards the finances of this trip. And, we are indebted to the numerous prayers that have already gone heavenward on our behalf!

The Dream come true...
Hello,
Like all good stories it starts with a dream. But what makes this story much sweeter is that it's not about my dream but rather this dream comes from God's heart. Long ago in history the God of all nations set forth a dream in His heart to have an eternal relationship of oneness with His creation. Many years have passed since then and God has not stopped to reconcile mankind back to His fatherly arms.
This dream of God's heart awoke in me 9 years ago in college. The dream that one day people from every tribe, tongue, and nation would be gathered together in worship of our God. Like all dreams the fulfillment must come with sacrifice, commitment, and passion. To see the dream to the end God has already sacrificed everything and He has called you and I to do the same. He longs for partners in His passion for people of all nations.
For the last 6 years I have had the honor of leading short-term teams to partner with and support the work of God in many countries around the world. This summer is another step in striving to see the gospel reach to the far ends of the earth. This summer is a new journey and a new beginning of great things to come for eternity. Kenya, here we come.
In June I will lead a team of 7 young adults to work alongside an organization called Serv International. Our goal is to give all that we are through actions and testimony to see the redemption of those in desperate need of life. We will use physical and tangible ministry such as building homes for widows and distributing food to those in need. And we will have the opportunity to give our love to children living in an orphanage. God has given us the opportunity to be His hands and feet to those in need.
We hope that you will follow this blog from now till June to keep updated on how the dream unfolds. We will also use this blog while we are in Kenya - June 1-14 to update from the field.
If you want to give financially to the team, to the orphanage or to the ministry Serv International you can contact us here or through this email: thriveatcircle@yahoo.com
