We have driven over 28,000 miles! It’s incredible to see what God is doing all over the United States of America. 

Here are some highlights of the trip so far. I wish I could tell you all the things I got to see and experience. But that would be just too much.

Omaha– My good friend Cal got married and I got to be in his wedding. Cal was on my original squad back in 2017. I remember seeing him at our training camp. He was sitting on a log reading the Word and journaling. I asked God if I could be friends with Cal. Because I didn’t have many friends who were seeking after God. Well that was 5 years ago! Cal and I are still great friends. He is a reminder to me of God’s goodness. I asked for a friend and God delivered. 

Springfield– I got to visit Becky Still. I first met her last year during Kingdom Interruption 2020 . She is an incredible women of God. She loves God and loves like God. Not only did I get to see her. My friend Nathan Johnston was there too. The first time I met Nathan was in Nicaragua. He was a missionary working with a ministry called Reap Granada. The day I left Nicaragua, Nathan was hit in the face by a cinder block. He was in the passenger seat in a taxi when he was hit. The accident almost took his life. I remember praying for him and now being able to see him alive and well was a huge blessing! He is no longer returning to Nicaragua but he still loves God and is looking to do something else for the Kingdom.

Fort Collins– I went to visit some friends that I squad led Brendan and Amber. They’re married and are expecting a baby girl. Getting to see the way they have been trusting God and choosing Him was refreshing. They also connected me with a missionary from Iran. This is an answer to prayer since I’m starting to establish connections over there. This time was also a reminder of the great cost of following Jesus.

Madison– I got to see my new friends Mike and Michelle Semanik. I met them 2 years ago as I moved across the country. Mike is a doctor who has decided to leave his career and let the Lord guide him. I’ve met few men willing to give up the comforts of there job’s. Not to mention being a doctor. I’m really excited for what God has for there family. Please pray for the Semanik’s as they trust God with there lives. And for there new baby that’s on the way.

Gainesville– I flew to Gainesville Georgia from Minnesota for a training camp. This year we get to send young adults overseas without so many covid restrictions. We had a 5 day training camp at our campus. I got to see God move in the hearts of so many people. A couple of the men heard God speak to them for the very first time! This is not something I get to see everyday. It was so nice to have all the squads all together. I didn’t realize how much I missed getting people together. We had over 100 people inside worshipping God as one. It was so powerful and something I kinda forgot about since covid.

Bismarck– Andrew and Emily Hershey were hosting us. They were also hosting a short term missions team. The team was from Parker South Dakota. We got to share a few nights with the team. I shared about missions and what my life looks like serving Christ. At the end of there trip we had a worship night. My friend Brandon played guitar and we all praised God outside. I was facing the sunset, raising my hands and moving around. I got down on my knees a few times too. When I looked back at the high school team, they were all having personal encounters with God. Some were standing, some kneeling, some sitting. But each had a special time with God like never before. I loved that I got to witness God touching hearts for the first time. I think everyone of the 11 team members were in tears. I was also in tears over God’s faithfulness.

Now I’m in Missoula Montana. Just got here the other day. This will be the last long stop for this years Kingdom Interruption. God has been so good over this trip and just in general. 

Please keep me in your prayers as I get to finish this time on the road. Our van is still hanging in there, but the transmission seems to be a little weak. Pray it keeps going. Pray for God to use me right where I am. Pray for people here in Missoula Montana. There are many distractions for people here and every belief is welcomed and considered “truth.” 

Thank you all so much. I hope that we can continue to bring life, lift, love, peace and restoration everywhere we go. God bless you.
