Thank you for praying for Belgium. And for praying for those serving now and in the coming months with Engage The Crisis. I received an email from the leadership team that a few of them were in Brussels over the weekend and they were excited to report that they could really see Jesus working in that city. They will be prayerfully considering how to move forward in light of the recent attacks. They have ministry partners on the ground in Brussels and will be communicating with them in the coming weeks as preparations are made for our arrival. I will trust their leadership as I step into this new journey this summer. And more importantly, I will trust that the God who calls is also the God who is faithful to lead us no matter what the circumstances are around us. 

 I'll let the words from the leadership team encourage you as they encouraged me...

 "We can have confidence today as we head toward Easter, that our God brings life out of death and we are called to be people who carry that life everywhere we go. I want to ask you to be in prayer for the people of Brussels and for those working there to share the love of Jesus with people. Thank you for carrying the refugees, Brussels, and our churches in your hearts."


I'm so excited to share that I'll be heading to Brussels, Belgium this summer to work with refugees! From May 15th to August 7th I'll be serving as part of Antioch's Engage The Crisis internship program. Those three months will be filled with meeting needs, making disciples, and mobilizing workers. You can visit www.engagethecrisis.org for more information about the mission and purpose of Engage The Crisis as a whole.

 As you know, the current displacement of people throughout Europe and the Middle East is like nothing the world has ever seen. People from all around the Middle East are being displaced from their homes and families because of terrorist organizations, fragile governments and violence. In the midst of all you are seeing on the news you may not be hearing about all that God is doing! Every week there are reports from around Europe and the Middle East of refugees walking into churches asking about Jesus, Mslms being baptized by the dozens and people having encounters with God during dreams in the night. In this time when the nations are shaking I believe that God is shouting His love and salvation to all the hurting and broken.
"The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble."
Psalm 9:9

 One thing I love about this trip is that my team and I can't do it alone, and I want to invite you into two big ways you can be part of engaging the crisis:

 Pray: Please pray for our trip and believe with us for a mighty move of God around the world!

 Give: My individual trip cost will be $7,000 all of which will be raised through financial support. If you would like to donate toward my trip you can do so online here. You'll choose my name from the drop-down list.

 I’ve been praying since I returned from Haiti that God would open a new door of ministry for me. I’m especially excited for this opportunity as I’ve met many Antioch missionaries in Haiti and Namibia and consider it an honor to serve with this ministry in Belgium this summer!! Thank you for joining me on this incredible journey!

 Prayer requests:

  • Unity for our team in preparation for the trip
  • Wisdom in how to best serve the refugee population and make disciples
  • For refugees to experience God’s love and be open to the Gospel

Your gift to ACC is tax deductible. Donations are solicited with the understanding that ACC has complete discretion and control over all donated funds. In practice, ACC implements donor instruction wherever possible. If for any reason I am unable to go on this trip, funds raised will be used to meet the team’s needs.

About Me
In 2005 God asked me to surrender my life to His plans and purpose. Everything changed. From Mexico to New Orleans to Namibia to Haiti it's been one incredible adventure with the Lord after another. This blog is a piece of that journey.
