Training Camp…
Was not what I expected.
I learned how to trust.
How to forgive.
How To become intimate with GOD.
How to allow the Holy Spirit to move.
I learn that I’m not always right.
That I need to be a better listener. (still working on it)
That God is looking for people to make a change and He is looking for people after his own heart.
I found out that,
This is the First Generation Expedition Squad to be launch out to go to the most unreached nations of the world. What shocks me was how many people have been praying for this to happen. People have been praying for this to happen for 20 years. My mother has been praying for this for 26 years. GOD has been planning and orchestrating this mission for a very long time.
Day 1 : Arrival
I walked up to training camp fifteen minutes early! Where is everyone? My confused look draws Esther, Steph, and Bella to me. Are you Joshua? Yes, I replied. We been waiting for you, Joshua! As I looked around for the rest of my squad I became anxious. I nervously smiled and acted clam, cool, and collective, but inside I was going crazy!
Then I heard something. I saw them! A Calvary! An army of purple Vikings with war paint on their faces. For me this was the greatest moment. I was the villager! I was the boy who prayed for friends. GOD answered by sending out a team of warriors marching, singing, and chanting. I looked at Steph and Esther with the biggest Cooper smile. A genuine sigh of relief to know I’m not alone. I have a squad. A Family. That this was GOD’s Army! And it was only day one.

IT ONLY TOOK GOD 6 Days to create the world. And 10 Days to prepare us for the biggest mission of our life. But something tells me this is only the beginning.
On a serious note,
I cried after hearing about a story of a little girl in India. How she was sold as a sex slave to men who would pay for her. She was only 7 years old, and she had her innocence taken away. This is one thing we are going to help with orphans to hopefully get them out of this situation.
The shocker was when I found out that people want to help but don’t know how. That people want this to stop but believes they have people out there fixing the problem, but the truth is we need your help. Please help us make a difference and send us out!
Please pray for us and our team as we are getting ready to head out soon.
