Youth Encoutner

 My first ever blog post!  Well sort of, my first ever blog post for my very own blog!!!

I have recently been accepted to the Youth Encounter organization to be a part of their Cross Fire team traveling to East Africa!  Starting in September 2011, I will be teamed up with a few other young adults to travel the United States and Eastern Africa for the year.  Our mission: to partner with Christian communities to strengthen their youth ministry.  We we travel the year doing worship services, skits, puppet shows, and sharing stories.  Will will go to churches, schools, nursing homes, essentially anywhere we are invited.

Going into the year, I am excited to see the new ways God will use me, and the lessons he will teach me as I travel the world.  I am unsure of most of what the year will bring, but that in and of itself is exciting.  I will get the chance to meet many new people from all different backgrounds and I am anxious to hear all of their stories!

September is still a ways off, but I look forward to the prep time I have to improve my musical skills (or perhaps better phrased learn to be musical...) and to learn more about what I am doing and who will be with me on this journey!
