So this past weekend I went to Training Camp!  The days were filled with sermons, team bonding, and information about the countries we’ll be visiting.  There is a squad of 35 people for the Human Trafficking trip and AIM broke us down into teams of 6-7 people per team.  There are 7 people on my team and I  am so excited about the journey we will be pursuing!  Here’s a pretty cute picture of us, we call it our “Family Picture” since we all happened to get the “wear blue” memo.  Please note that one girl that is on our team could not participate because she is out of the country on another mission’s trip!
 
                   
 
The Lord used somebody on my squad to bring me some very special words of encouragement, and I would love to share them with you:
“Katie, you are four things:

1) Liberator ~ You’ve been set free to set others free
 2) Captivator ~ Growing into this, you will naturally garner attention
 3) Redeemer ~ God will be using you as His vessel to bring others into this redemption
 4) Daughter ~ You are His girl.  You are royalty.  You’re made to stand in the presence of kings and queens and dine with princes and princesses.  You are His breath.  His favorite.”

 
 Praise God!  Those words really encouraged me during this training of getting equipped to go into some of the darkest places the world has to offer.  I love you all and will update you soon with an opportunity that has arisen here in Atlanta for me!
