After a two-week long visit to Chile this past summer, I feel like God is leading me back for a much longer time.  I got to visit the Globalscope campus ministry of El Oasis (the Well).  It was an incredible experience where I saw a loving community of Chilean college students that love God, love each other, and are transforming Santiago, Chile!

Before heading back to the states after my trip, some of the friends I met, Renato, Paula, Camila, Jennifer and others, took me to a convenient store and bought me some Chilean candy for the trip back.  Including a Super Ocho, which is a candy bar that’s sold everywhere in Chile, and it’s awesome!  I can’t wait to get back to Chile to see these friends and make deep relationships with new ones that I can share the love of Jesus with!

Currently I am working odd jobs part time to pay the bills and taking a Bible class at Atlanta Christian College.  But the main focus in my life right now is in sharing with individuals and Churches about El Oasis and how God is at work changing lives in Chile.  Raising support for the mission is my ministry now.

I’ll be posting several blogs a month with random stories, pictures, prayer requests, and progress on support raising.  I’d love to hear from you as well! Thanks for reading!
