Adventuras. Adventures. Mission trips are definitely that. You decide to go and God does some pretty amazing stuff. I was thinking about my past mission trips, and life in general, and you could compare them to a game of chess. We are the pieces, He is the player. Each piece is moved in a different way for one purpose: to win. Each person lives a different life for one purpose: to win... by bringing the Kingdom of Heaven to earth.

I want to introduce mi amigaza (my super friend) Jessica Evans. We both have a desire to live the life God has created us to live, as missionaries. So we chess pieces are off to Honduras and Colombia.

TOMORROW!!! (I'm a little excited) We're going to Honduras for a week for a preliminary trip for our church's youth trip this Summer. There are nine of us going all together. We will be going to Tegucigalpa, Honduras to set up things like where we will be staying, transportation as well as meeting with local pastors and school leaders for ministry opportunities when we take the youth in June.

After the youth trip in June is when me and Jessica plan to stay in Colombia. We'll be in Pereira, Colombia for two months with Kevin and Christine Cunningham. Kevin and Christine are a missionary couple from the U.S. who have lived in Colombia for almost 5 years now. We will be helping them with an evangelistic project they are putting together for the World Cup which is in Colombia this year.

We will also be in Barranquilla, Colombia for two months. Me and Jessica had the opportunity two go to Barranquilla twice last year and we really like the city and the people there and are very excited that we get the chance to go back. We will be staying with our friend, Magdalena. We'll help her with the ministry she does in the schools. And we have many friends in the local churches there so we will no doubt be helping them with the evangelism they do in the city.

I'm hoping I will be able to keep this blog updated with new developments about our trip. Plus the many stories have that will happen between now, then and beyond. But right now it is time to pack for Honduras and try to keep myself from bouncing off the walls with excitement.
