Let me brag on these people for a sec…
We have a bunch of radical people on C-squad. 34 radical people in fact… yes, you counted correctly… all the people on C-squad are radical. They are a bunch of limit pushers, they don’t take no for an answer, they obey God with a “yes, and?” attitude ready to find new ways to spread His love and share His Son. There are a number of stories and situations that lead me to this conclusion: instances of healing after fervent prayer, walking up to a stranger because God told them to, boldly pointing out unhealthy habits in teammates, etc. But nothing really brings all of those amazing situations (and more!) together like our squads month 4 debrief.
Let me tell you the thing…
The last few days of April/first few days of May C-squad had their month 4 debrief in Valparaiso, Chile. The leadership team had a leadership retreat in Patagonia a few days before, so needless to say, we were entering debrief with a few sore calf muscles, but with spirits high and outlooks bright. But I had no idea how much God was going to reveal Himself in such a radical way.
Going into debrief I didn’t know how my spirits could get higher or how my outlook could get brighter, but man… God is huge, and radical, and loves us, and challenges us to open our hearts to Him, to receive what He had (and still has) for us. And you know what… we did. And He continued to fill us with His radical and outrageous love…
The stories of those 4 days are countless, I struggle to come up with the words… but you know what… I don’t have to, because the beautiful, Jesus loving, radical people of C-squad already did!!!
I beg of you. Read these blogs.

God is gracious, He has allowed me to walk with these people and see His goodness in them first hand. I am especially blessed. I have learned so much more from these people than I had ever expected or even have thought to have hoped for.
My journey on the field is coming to an end. On June 5th I will officially have finished my overseas duties with C-squad (apart from a debrief or two) and… almost more weird to me… will finish my time with AIM as an overseas missionary. Where am I heading? … I have some ideas, but I am not 100% sure. What I do know is that I will move forward with my heart open, certain that the Spirit is alive and moving… certain because I have seen it, felt it, experienced it… certain because God tells us that He is with us, till the end of the age, and He is a faithful Father…
I am certain, whether I am overseas, stateside, or some other place only God knows where, that He is faithful. That He moves. That He will use even me. All I need to do is listen to His call, walk boldly with Him, and open our hearts to receive what He has for us.
Let’s live radically.
Love well,
Molly Fae
