Welcome to our little corner of the Internet. Kick your feet up and stay a while.
I am an action person. A doer, get-er-done, let’s get to work person. So for two days on outreach when God told our team we weren’t to DO but just BE, I didn’t like that. I am horrible at just BEING sometimes and I didn’t know why God would “torture” me like this. Unfortunately, I had a fever and my …
Seven billion.That’s how many people are in the world. It’s hard to wrap your mind around that number, so I’ll make it a little easier. I’m in Japan which has a population of 127.3 million.

One of those adventures went a bit like this: For three days, we partnered with a team from the University of Missouri to teach English to elementary students in Thailand. We divided into different stations to …
“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.” – Matthew 5:13 The children’s home we are staying at is called Little Lights. Over the past two weeks, we have seen that the kids here have so much potential to shine the light of Christ in the world. The parents or grandparents of …
“No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.” – Aesop When my team and I arrived at Little Lights children’s home in India, it quickly became apparent to us that the staff there performed many acts of love and service on a daily basis. It is a privilege to come alongside them to prepare breakfast and pack …
(by Megan, staff at YWAM Madison. Inspired by “Hinds Feet on High Places.” Pictures from some of Megan’s fondest moments from the last three years in YWAM) My Maker took my shallow beliefs And turned them upside down; I no longer desire the shortest path.
