Directions.

As you all know, I made a decision this summer. It may possibly have been the best decision of my life. I decided to stay in Panama, to continue God's work there, and show unconditional love to the people there. God completely beautifully wrecked my life. He has shown me how important missions are, but more importantly how important HE is and following His will is. He has put a burden on my heart to work with youth and children, and also to speak Spanish, translating and ministering to others through Spanish. It has opened up so many doors, I made so many amazing relationships and got to have amazing ministry because I actually understood what they were saying and was able to communicate back! I know God has called me to work with people who speak Spanish.

 To stay here and disobey God -- I can't afford to take the consequence. I would rather go and obey God, than to stay here and know I disobeyed.

I know God has placed on my heart to go on missions, in fact, we are all called to missions. There is so much hurting in need all over the world and we are CALLED as Christians to show others the hope found in knowing Christ Jesus.

So I'm thinking of where to go on my mission trip next summer, and I really come up blank. I wanted to choose somewhere that I knew would be a great trip to do amazing ministry and see God move in many ways. I even thought about going to a country that did not speak Spanish, but God has definitely shown me that right now I need to minister to a Spanish speaking population. I looked at all the options for Latin America and where to go, where God is ultimately calling. And there were so many options, so many amazing trips, but one stood out, and one actually worked. 

Next summer, God is calling me to go to Peru for a month. 

Yes, it's a very big decision. And I have prayed a lot about it. I can't see myself not going, I know that I am called to go. If it is God's will, it's His bill, and I'm trusting the finances completely and totally to Him.

My trip is also going to be around $3,000 , which I am not taking lightly. I do not go out and waste money, and for Christmas and my birthday, I will be only asking for money to fund my trip. I say this not to brag, but to show you I am dedicated to the cause. Only if you feel led, should you donate money to me. If you would like to donate, you can go to www.globalexpedtions.com and clicking donate. You will have to enter my ID number which is 2593060.

In conclusion, I ask for you support in prayers. Prayer is not optional in mission trips, but ESSENTIAL. I ask that you pray for me as I plan my upcoming trip and grow in God's word. I also ask that you pray for the people I will encounter in Peru, that they would welcome the word of God with open arms, and that life-changing experiences happen. 

If you found a cure for cancer, wouldn't it be inconceivable to hide it from the rest of mankind? How much more inconceivable is it to keep silent the cure from the eternal wages of death.
