The Send is a catalyst for the revival and evangelism in the 21st century. It is ongoing in making everyone missionaries in the 4 primary mission fields: neighborhoods, churches, high schools/ universities, and the nations.
(As a girl seriously suffering with senioritis, God definitely spoke to me about my high school. The craziest thing? The revival is starting in the high schools and universities. I get to be a part of that for the next 3 months! What an opportunity.)
Anyways, the Send was held in Orlando, FL, so I got to road trip down with some Jesus loving girls from my squad (+ Gracie:) and meet even more down there. It was such a blessing to spend time with these sweet girls and experience the Holy Spirit together.

Acts 2:1-4
When the day of Pentecost had arrived, they were all together in one place. Suddenly, a sounds like that of a violent rushing wind came from heaven, and it filled the whole house where they were staying. They saw tongues like flames of fire that separated and rested on each one of them. They were all filed with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in different tongues, as the Spirit enabled them.
60,000 believers. Calling on the Holy Spirit. And man did God deliver. I spent 12 straight hours on a turf field in the Florida sun because I couldn’t bare to miss a second of it. I was surrounded by kids my age freely worshipping. In this day and age, almost all Christians tend to feel alone through high school and college. I know I have. What a power move by God to bring just a fraction of us together; we aren’t alone in this fight! In fact, we are an army rising up. We will fight until every hopeless neighbor, every hopeless high schooler, every hopes college student, every hopeless church, every hopeless nation knows the name Jesus.
I got to see thousands of people healed in the presence of the Holy Spirit. I could feel the warm embrace of it rolling over the crowds. Literally, a warm wind rushed over the crowds. People spoke in tongues, fell after being overcome by the Spirit, even prophesying over those around them. God was there, and He made it so clear that we are at a tipping point. The war has already been won, now its time to share the joy and hope we find in Jesus with others!! We can’t let the evil one steal our beloved friends, siblings, neighbors, church members, and peers.

Our God is one that has healed, is healing, and will heal again. Miracles are still happening. Our human minds will forever try to understand the greatness of God, and in that we put Him in a box. Just when you think you can grasp it, God will blow you away and show you just how Great He is. Even in that, we will never understand His greatness or the absolute depth of His love for us.
(Bigger Than I Thought, Passion Music) give it a listen!!
I am so excited to focus on my mission field over the next 3 months, then on the nations come this September.
