Giving life everywhere that we go.

This is less about where we go and ALL about WHO we go with. We desire to bring the reality of Jesus Christ everywhere that we go. Jesus said, "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." Jesus is already at work in the World & we would not even begin to pretend that we are bringing Him somewhere that He is not already working. Through every mission trip we will encourage, support, and lift up those who are serving tirelessly in the location we are traveling to, whether that means Mexico, Washington D.C., New York City, or Williamsburg.

Haiti, March 3-10, 2012 | Blog 5.

Well, we are in Haiti. I'm not a very good blogger or story teller, forgive me. I keep my thoughts organized in my phone, twitter style. So I'll give you a peak into my mind in Haiti:

No matter our color, our language, our culture, our thoughts, our views, our age, our nationality: there is one God over all. There is one Jesus, one Spirit. Over all. I worship, you worship, different styles, same God. We are all adopted into a new Kingdom. Family of God. All sons and daughters. All unworthy but all saved by the blood of Messiah. #inbreakingkingdom #haiti

Worship can still move you even if you don't understand. It's not all about the words, but it is all about the God. #kingdomculture #haiti

Haiti, God is on mission here. People living life's mission for Him. God's redemption inside of people open them to change the world. God is writing the story of redemption all around the world. #inbreakingkingdom #Gospelisastory #haiti

A life lived on mission is a life lived in love #thechurch #haiti

Culture changes. Truth does not. #readyourbible #haiti

Haitians are classy #suitup #haiti

Selling everything wasn't enough. It says "then come, follow me. We are to follow Jesus is God's story. Walk with Him in life. Live out God's #storyofredemption. #luke18 #devos #haiti

"For the son of man came to seek and save what was lost." WE need to recognize without Jesus we are lost. #redemption #Jesushelpme #haiti

Be like a child. Joy is inside. Forgiveness is easy. Laughter and friends. #wingsofrefuge #community #haiti

There are people everywhere doing the work of God. #jointhefamily #haiti

Community forms around the doing. Whether setting up tables for dinner together, playing together, or cleaning dishes together. #challengedbychildren #antiindividualism #wingsofrefuge #haiti

The Church prays and agrees together. Is reaching forward together. No one does it on their own. All contribute and they move together #haiti

We always have reason to celebrate. Celebrate people. Celebrate freedom. Celebrate that we were once lost but are now found. Celebrate the gospel #walkingintoeternitybygivengrace #haiti

Christianity doesn't work just by watching or just by waiting. It is active. If you aren't moving forwards in the things of God you missed it somewhere. Our God and the life he has for us is one to always be seeking after, running for, sprinting towards. #runtherace #conviction #lifeisastory #haiti

Simply pray for a life completely led by the Spirit. #praybig #haiti

Baptism. The waters are a cemetery; a cemetery for Sin. You are a new creation. You are in Messiah. You stand and live and breathe in the love of a living God. You are given a new identity. #Liveuptoyournewidentity #jointhefamily #storyofredemption #haiti

What we believe about the future shapes how we live here and now. #resurrection #hope #haiti

We are not called to escape from life. Not to have an escapist mindset. We are to live with an engaged mindset. We should not want to escape but to engage. To join in the redemptive work of Jesus, as he puts back together a broken world. #stoprunningaway #standfirm #inbreakingkingdom #haiti

The Kingdom of God is coming, not all at once, but in pieces, not only in my live but in our collective lives, together, and to the world. #inbreakingkingdom #haiti

If you believe in the resurrection. Believe that we will all stand before the judgment seat of Messiah and answer for our deeds, whether good or bad. You will answer for all of it. Not fire and brimstone preaching, but that, in Judgment, God will set the world to right. We should hope in Judgment, Live in light of judgment. It purifies you. Be glad when you live in that hope because God will, piece by piece, place you back to how he intended #knowingthefutureeffectsournow #IwillanswertoGod #notagospelofsinmanagment #waragainstsininyourself #repentanceisalifestyle #devos #haiti

"When are you coming back?" #breakingmyheart #thingsworthfightingfor #haiti

Love requires doing. #conviction #haiti
