Change

Wow alot has changed since I have blogged last. A 20 day mission trip and CIY MOVE 2009 are the biggest things.

MOVE was amazing this year. It was completely different the food, the free time, a whole new group of friends, and a mostly new youth group.

We had a blast in Oregon, at night the guys would party in the lounge in the boys dorm, and during the day there was never a boring moment. We came closer to each other but more importantly we came closer to God. Giving up idols, breaking or chains, and worshiping Him instead of anything else.

We received a challenge card the deal was that if we opened the challenge card we HAD to do what the card said. So after being warned not to open it being rebellious and all that I opened it.
The card read: You must organize a debate between a christian and an atheist in your church/school.

I'm so excited about this I have a location and a date. Now I need an atheist. This is going to be a big debate. Ive contacted Frank Turek and I plan on contacting Ben Stein hopefully to be guest speakers at this event. God is MOVING more then ever before.

Tecate Mexico
















Escorial, Literal translation. "Trash" "The Dump".
Before leaving for this missions trip I told god I didn't care where he sent me as long as it wasn't Mexico because everyone goes to Mexico to help, why isn't it fixed yet?
He opened my eyes, Humbled my heart, and this summer ill be going back down with a friend for three weeks as an intern, to build relationships with the kids and god through soccer outreach, dramas, and just showing them love.
Some of these people live in dumps, literally a dump where the few people throw their garbage, when they don't throw it in the street, and yet they smile every single day, they laugh and enjoy life so much with so little.
