Humidity. Change. New friends. Hunger. Worship. Hunger. These are just a few of the words that describe the last few days that I’ve spent at training camp along with my 73 teammates in White, GA. Did I mention hunger?
While you can bet I’m talking about my grumbling stomach – each day we have eaten the food from a country we will be in and let’s just say it’s going to be a looong three months in Africa – I’m also talking about hungering for more of God and more of what He has planned for my life. We’ve spent a lot of time at camp working through issues in our lives so that we can be baggage-free when we minister to the nations. It’s been a tough but freeing process. I can already tell this is going to be one of the most challenging and rewarding years of my life and right now I’m standing on the cliff of self-discovery terrified but willing to jump off. To say I will be pushed out of my comfort zone is an understatement, but I’m ready.
And just to give you a glimpse of daily life at camp – this week I have hiked through the woods to camp out under the stars (no tents!), I’ve had a bowl of rice soup with a sardine in it for breakfast, and I’ve experienced total strangers speaking life and truth into me. More to come on this training camp experience when I get back to Phoenix!
