Well to be honest my story is not just overly exciting, it is just amazing to see how God works out everything…
I surrendered my life to full time ministry when I was a senior in high school. I did not really know what that entailed but I just assumed God would show me when it came time, to be completely honest I still do not really know. I had a feeling that God was calling me overseas, but to be honest I tried to supress that idea, thinking it would go away. I have always felt a burden for the people in Africa, ever since I was a small child, but I never thought I would do anything about it, except maybe pray for them. Last summer while being a sponsor at Falls Creek, which is a church camp for high school students here in Oklahoma, I felt God showing me that I was not living to the potential that I could be. I felt like He was wanting and expecting more from me. Finally on the last day He got my attention. In His own way I felt like God was calling me to go to Africa. I didn’t know where or when, but I said that if that was what He wanted, then that was what I would do. When I got home I started planning a trip with one of my friends to go to Rawanda. We had discussed these plans with our pastor and prayed long and hard about it, but for some reason I could not get a peace about it. I continued to pray about it and realized that Rawanda was not what I felt like God was calling me to. I began to just look around on the internet to see what kind of trips there were, and somehow I stumbled onto the AIM Ministry page. I began to look for trips to Africa to see what could be a possibility. I honestly do not even know how I found the AIM Ministry site. I applied, and God has worked everything out so far.
I just sit back in awe of the work God does in my life. I am not a super outgoing person, I’m not one to really step out of my comfort zone, but He is sending me to Africa with people I do not know, and I am so excited. I cannot wait to see Him move in not only the people in Kenya, but also in our lives as we pour out ourselves completely to serve Him.
