Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror 24 and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do.
~ James 1:22-25 NIV

Why Go?

“Go, send, or disobey.” — John Piper

Many people know why I'm going but some ask why. I've always wanted to go to another nation but it had to be up to God whether He'd send me or not and to where. I had one country in mind; however He decides to send me to another. The question 'Why Go' never crossed my mind until I read Eddie's message in our church's Trumpet newsletter. 

 
I go because it's what He's called me to do.
I go because He wants me to share His message.
I go to share my faith for those there and even ones here.
I go because He is my Father and Lord.
I go because I'm His disciple.
 

“To belong to Jesus is to embrace the nations with Him.” — John Piper

    We are so proud of you for embarking on this journey of love. You have always had compassion for those less fortunate than you - especially children. God knew He was calling a caring and dedicated young woman. We imagine this experience will be as much a blessing to you as to the people you serve and we can't wait to read all about it!
    Love you so much,
    Mom, Dad, and Kyle
