Here is an excerpt from my daily devotional Jesus Calling: Try to stay conscious of me as you go step by step through this day. My Presence with you is both a promise and a protection. My final statement just before I ascended into heaven was: ‘Surely I am with you always’. That promise was...

Aaron's Mouth
So, I’ve been doing a study on my name…well, sort of. I decided to study Aaron in the Bible and see what kind of guy he was. I’m learning something I believe they teach in Sunday school, but it’s lead to a chain of thoughts that is proving to be very challenging. Now, I’m still...
What Would You Do For $100?
Yesterday was our day off. We had no agenda except to relax and recharge. For me, recharging most always involves me being alone, in nature, or just lost in a sea of people I don’t know. I decided that I would attempt to get up at 5:15 to see the sunrise at 6. I woke...
Here to Serve
We went out to do some homeless ministry last night at a park by the lake. Our goal was not just to meet the physical needs, and though that is so important, we really wanted the night to be filled with conversations revolving around Jesus. For the first 20 minutes of our walk we could...
I'm Lovin' It!
It’s been so cool to see how God has been using our team, and I’ve really started to understand how much God actually WANTS to use us. We just have to be willing and ready to talk when He says to talk, and walk where He says to walk. Tonight we went to a very...
A Challenge
I’ll probably only have time for one more post after this. We’re leaving Friday for China and I’m getting really excited. This has been such a great week here in Atlanta. We’ve been teaming up with different ministries around Atlanta and it’s been so encouraging. I was sitting with some great friends tonight talking about...
First Day #1
Yesterday, after we got all settled in, since we didn’t have any plans for outreach we prayed and asked the Lord to show us what we were supposed to do. One said they felt we were supposed to go pick up trash, another said they got the word “park”, and I got that we were...
The Voice
A Psalm of David. Give unto the Lord, O you mighty ones, give unto the Lord glory and strength. Give unto the Lord the glory due to His name; worship the Lord in the beauty of hoiness. The voice of the Lord is over the waters; the God of glory thunders; the Lord is over...
Team Bill Ding
Today (well, now yesterday) was team building day. The goal was to get through a bunch of obstacles together as a team. Trying to build up this unity before we head out on outreach next week. They had us do all kinds of crazy stuff. I’ve got pictures posted on Facebook if you wish to...
Cookout!
Well, the cookout went awesome yesterday. I think overall we had about 50 people show up, which is pretty decent for the first time. Most of them were younger people in high school and what-not. It was definitely hot as dump outside and we were all sweating like pigs, but it was a blast. We...
