The Lord has called me to go…. as with the rest of my team! We probably all have feelings of fear and doubt hidden beneath the surface, but we also just want to be there now. We are in a stage of preparation. I believe that is part of why I am working at camp again. It is preparing me in ways that I do not understand. It’s a mystery, and that’s where trust and faith comes in. I have to trust in the mystery!!! We have been called to go… so we will go!

Isaiah 61:1-3 says

The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me,

because the LORD has anointed me

to preach good news to the poor.

He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,

to proclaim freedom for the captives

and release from darkness for the prisoners,



to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor

and the day of vengeance of our God,

to comfort all who mourn,

and provide for those who grieve in Zion-
to bestow on them a crown of beauty
instead of ashes,
the oil of gladness
instead of mourning,
and a garment of praise
instead of a spirit of despair.
They will be called oaks of righteousness,
a planting of the LORD
for the display of his splendor.

That there is the reason I know I am doing what the Lord has called me to. But why South Africa? Well, I know that I was previously accepted to go on a trip to S. Africa with AIM… but it was for 3 months instead of 9! Long story short, the trip was canceled. So I didnt get to go. And since then, my heart absolutely MELTS when I hear the name of this country. I am not sure why, but it has been programmed within my inner being! I have never been there, but I have studied it. I love the people that I do not know. I cry for them. I want to just be with them and give myself away to them! After all, that is what we are called to do…. to give ourselves away! After the sovereign Lord, El Elyon, works within me… he will work through me. I just have to be willing… to be a living sacrifice! When I give myself away, I am a vessel of the Lords, comforting and providing and proclaiming. The people that I, and my team, do not know will be called oaks of righteousness. They will be a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor!

These are the lyrics to I Will Go by Starfield… they speak to me! I see in this song, what the 08 Africa Awakening team will be doing for 9 months of giving themselves away! The things we can do are unstoppable and unimaginable!!!

Ephesians 3:21 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us

That’s whats up!!! =)

I Will Go- Starfield
To the desperate eyes and reaching hands

To the suffering and the lean


To the ones the world has cast aside


Where you want me I will be


I will go


I will go


I will go Lord send me


To the world


To the lost


To the poor and hungry


Take everything I am


Clay within your hands


I will go


I will go


Send me


Let me not be blind with privilege


Give me eyes to seek the pain


Let the blessing You’ve poured out on me


Not be spent on me in vain


Let this life be used for change


I wanna live for you


Go where you lead me


I wanna follow you


Send me!
