A First For Me...

I received a burden for missions about a year ago... (I actually wrote about it for my English class and my teacher loved it.)


It was quite the experience, to say the least. I had images/clips [filled with faces that were hurt & searching for help] run through my mind constantly.


It disturbed me.
It made me cry.
But most of all, It changed me.

My Pastor preached on Wednesday night and he mentioned that God was dealing with him about missions.


“We don’t give enough money to missions.”

“There needs to be more time spent in prayer for missions.”

What he said was so good & we understood. He told us of Bro. Thomas, missionary in India, who visited a week or 2 before. Bro. Thomas had preached for the church about 4 years ago (before I was there, I think). He told Pastor that he wanted a group of Pastors/ministers/saints to go to India.

So my Pastor told us he wanted anyone who can, to go to India with him..

And here I am today, telling you, that I am planning on going :)

I have heard stories about the bugs, the life (Wealthy/Poor/Middle Class), the food..etc. This is no fun & games.. It's business.



It’s going to be difficult. A few thousand dollars to raise.. But hey, if I really want to go, then I will REALLY try to raise the money.

My first Missions Trip :)
and I pray not the last.

Pray for me & the rest of the group that plans on going. Also, make sure you keep those who are on the Mission Field in your prayers! They all need it!

God bless :)

Bible Quizzer

Umm.... I had no idea what I was getting myself into lol! This is my first year of Bible Quizzing and man! I love it!!!!! :D I can't wait to go to the competitions!! :D We have to learn over 400 verses but as Bro. Vick & Brendan said "Don't look at the numbers." It's easier when you don't look at numbers and you just memorize and go over them everyday!!! I'm so excited!!! It has motivated me to get done with schoolwork lol. I hope we have a good (NOOO, a GREAT!) team so we can go to more competitions. :) Fun & traveling! Which teams do you know that are awesome Bible Quizzers?? Do you have any tips for a first time BQ??? :)

The Witnessing Tool

*Calling all Apostolic - Pentecostals* Do you ever feel like you're the only one who is different at school or work? The only one whose religion is TRUE and SEPARATED? That hears preaching from the Word of God and not from the "how-to" books? Yes, when we start up a conversation about what religion we are, they claim Christianity and know Jesus Christ is Lord, yet, they live amongst the world. Unseparated. 2 Corinthians 6:17 says, "Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean [thing]; and I will receive you," We feel like we're the only ones in school who don't wear mini-skirts, the way-to-revealing tops (also known as the how-much-skin-can-i-show-and-not-get-in-trouble-for-it clothing)??? For guys, you get asked the question, "Aren't you hot!?" way too much. Enough to get on your nerves. Being the only person they see dressed like this, at the very least you could say that
