Wow! The Lord is faithful, just in this weekend alone, 7 days before I leave the United States to live in Mexico for 3 months, God provides the remaining money for my trip! God is so good, in Spanish I would say to the Lord: Eres Fiel! I am getting really excited to leave for Mexico, these final 6 days before I leave are going to be the longest days ever! This past weekend we got prayed out by our Life Groups, parents, mentors, and New Song Nashville and I feel really equipped and ready to go. I know that the leaders over me are confident in releasing me for these 3 months. As I am preparing for Mexico I really don't feel very nervous but instead I am really excited to start living day-by-day-by-the-Spirit. I know that while our team is in Mexico we will need to be carefully listening to the Holy Spirit and allow him to guide us. One of the words spoken over our team was that we have each others back, as we are in Mexico we will be watching out and covering for each other by serving and preferring each other above our own. So as you are praying for us pray for:

• unity within our team 
• health
• safe travels 

Thank You all so much for your continued prayer and financial support. As a team we are still in need of about $2,000 so if you still want to give you could make the checks out to New Song Christian Fellowship and mail them to the church at 316 Southgate Court Brentwood TN 37027. Thanks again for your partnership. God Bless You!

I have 12 days before I leave for Mexico for 3 months!!! I cannot wait to see all that the Lord will do while we are down there. I feel ready to go and as I have talked with my parents, leaders, and mentors they feel ready to release me off to Mexico on this 3 month journey. I know that this trip will be challenging as I have learned here to lay down my preferences and be patient and selfless; on the mission field I will need to be even more on guard. In these last weeks before leaving, the excitement has been rising within us as a team. The Lord has been showing me in the word how the way we treat and love each other will be evident to the people we come into contact with (John 13:35). While in Mexico even though my Spanish isn't very good I know that when I have the opportunity to speak that my actions will back up the words I speak. I want my life to be an example to all the people I come into contact with, not in a prideful way but an example that points others to Christ. I am so excited! I can't even wrap my head around the reality that I will be living, eating, and sleeping in a foreign country for 3 months in less than 12 days! Our plane leaves Nashville at 7:00 on February 4th. I am needing $900 still to fully pay off this trip, if you could donate financially it would be greatly appreciated. Your continued prayer support would also be greatly appreciated during this 3 month period. Even as we are preparing as a team we have been in constant spiritual warfare in regards to the unity of our team. It is the devils intent to destroy our team, but God has specifically called each one of us to this program and has a purpose for us. Specifically you can pray for peace within our team, grace as we prepare for worship and drama, and for focus as we get closer to our departure date. Thank You so much for your continued financial support and again if you could keep us in your prayers and consider financially supporting us in our 3 month missions trip to Mexico. Thanks again, God Bless...

Today I attended a conference called Engage 2020. The entire focus for this conference was evangelism. Tonight is the beginning of a great work that God is doing. I was personally prophesied over by an elder in our church body and was called out by name and released as an evangelist. Now that I have been released into the office of Evangelist it helps me focus my purpose even more on God's will for my life. I know what I must do to practically apply this to my life, it is called the S.A.L.T principle. It is something that the Lord has been stirring in me this new year. S stands for 'start conversations' engage people by A 'asking questions', then L listen to the person, and then respond by T telling the gospel message. I must embrace this calling and walk in the authority that Christ has given us and walk in the victory that has already been won. Another aspect of this conference was a tool called the GodTest. The GodTest is a small booklet consisting of 10 questions to bring attention to the worldview and/or beliefs of the person taking the test. The GodTest is designed to promote dialogue on the critical questions surrounding Faith, skepticism, and the purpose of life. I am so fired up and excited for all the opportunities I'll have to lead people to the Lord! This Engage 2020 conference was very igniting and I'm ready to go with an even more focus to live out the purpose God intended for me as an Evangelist for Jesus Christ.
*Side Note: I will be leaving for Mexico on February 4th at 7:00 A.M. I am needing $955 more to turn in to completely pay off the trip. Thank You again for your continued financial and prayer support!

Hey everybody, many of you may already know but for those of you who don't , we as a Global Boot Camp team will be going to Mexico for 3 months. I am so expectant and excited for the power of God to move through us and touch the lives of the people we come into contact with. There are 3 major places we will be visiting in Mexico are Mazatlan, Escuinapa, and a village of the Tepehuane Indians. Primarily we will be involved with a variety of ministries such as kids ministry, worship arts, construction, teaching music, as well as building strong relationship with our strategic missionaries in Mexico. We will be staying with Alfonzo and Erika Martinez in their home in Escuinapa. Before I can leave I have to pay off the trip, right now I owe $1,000.00 I am needing a the most 10 people to commit $100 each to sending me to Mexico. God is good, He has provided $3,000.00 to make this trip possible, I know this is Gods will for my life in this season and so I ask you to prayerfully consider how the Lord would have you support me. There are two main ways you can help: 1. Financial support, 2. Prayer support. God is at work among the nations and I am so excited to be a part of what He is doing. Thank you again so much for all the support that has been harvested and your continued prayers. I hope that in this new year many may come to Christ as His name is glorified as the nations bless His holy name. Thanks so much God bless you!
