Epic men and women of God

Today I met some soldiers for the kingdom.  Epic people.  We went first to visit the fine people of International Justice Missions (check them out! http://www.ijm.org/ ).  You should check out that website to learn more about what they do and how you can help.  Essentially they help fight for justice for people all over the world who do not have a voice.  They deal a lot with sex trafficking cases and unjust detentions.  We were fortunate enough to participate in their morning devotions and ask questions.  These people are highly educated lawyers and social workers and warriors for God's kingdom.
At New Life Home Trust- love this kid.

The second stop of the day was to New Life Home Trust (check it out! http://www.newlifehometrust.org/ )an orphanage (the same place where Graig adopted his daughter.)  This was incredible.  Their facility was amazing and their employees had so much passion for what they were doing.  We were able to play and hold boys and girls around the age of 2 years old.  I was fortunate enough to feed and hold a baby boy and I just couldn't stop telling him how loved he is.  This kid was precious and my heart just melted.  All these children are God's prized possessions and it's so beautiful that they were fortunate enough to be placed in this orphanage. 

The last stop was at Amani Ya Juu (check it out! http://www.amaniafrica.org/).  It's an incredible organization that hires women from all around Africa, crossing tribal barriers and allows them to gain experience in sewing skills and marketing while working in a strong Christian community.  You must visit the website to read more about it and to see their products, truly amazing.  The place is beautiful and it was such a treat to see the work God was doing there and the blessings that are pouring on this organization. 
Inside Amani Au Juu.


Yes, this is a shorter post, but was still an epic day.  Truly a privilege too see these men and women of God work for the kingdom.  I hope to be able to make as big of an impact as they are someday.

A few prayer requests for ya'll.  Pray for those Saint Boys, the orphans, IJM and Amani Au Juu.  Just pray for God's blessings on all those people and the people they will be influencing and impacting in the future.  Tomorrow and Thursday we will be going back to the Saint Boys to teach, play and love on them.  On Thursday I'll be leading a devotion so if you could all pray for God to speak through me and to glorify Him, that would be great!  God bless!

  2. I'm with your mom, that picture is incredible. I'm probably going to be a creep and comment on tons of your posts, but they are just so...epic. You're doing amazing things, my friend. Sending love and prayers.
