Settled In

There are so many incredible things about being here on the base. The sense of ohana (family) is one of the sweetest things I have found so far. There is a comfort in this place that encourages deep growth in people's relationship with Jesus. The worship is so amazing! Here is worship in the Ohana Court...


The classes we take have been amazing so far. We have new topics each week that we are taught on in morning classes. The goal of these classes and topics
is to deepen our walk with the Lord and learning how to apply our faith practically. The first week we went in depth about how God is always speaking and wants to speak to us... it's just a matter of us listening. We don't only learn about how to listen, but we practice it continually. This last week we talked about sin and the reality of how it effects our lives. In dealing with sin in the biblical manner, it has been encouraging a godly fear in all of us that is essential in our faith.

The afternoons are spent doing photography... WOOHOO!!! This part has been so great because we have been learning not just more about our cameras and photography but also how to use it in ministry. We have been learning about issues around the world that have been impacted in great part by using photography. We will get the opportunity to use our cameras as a tool when we are on outreach. We do have one outreach location that is fairly set in stone at this point. That location is Panama, and chances are we will be in other locations in Central America as well, but those are not as sure yet :).
