So, I am a huge Rob Bell fan and love hearing his insight through his short film series called NOOMA. He has so much knowledge about the Jewish culture and is able to bring it into the context of today. The ability to apply scripture written thousands of years ago to stuff I am dealing with currently is such an awesome testimony that God's Word is living and active and that He is the same yesterday today and tomorrow. This video was such a good reminder for me since lately I have been feeling overwhelmed with feelings of inadequacy. However, Jesus makes it clear that He calls us exactly where we are. So often I feel like I need to have all my stuff together in order to serve Him. That I'm not able to come before Him unless I'm perfect. Thank God that's not the case, and that Jesus offers grace and most importanly faith in His people. I was reminded of something that I so often forget, that God has faith in us too! He wouldn't say "Come, follow me" if he didn't think we could do what He does. Of course I have faith in God that He can do anything, but do I really believe that He has faith in me to carry out His plans? I hope you are encouraged by this video because it has added to my knowledge of what faith really means.

Welcome!!
As many of you know this past summer I spent 8 weeks in Malawi, Africa serving as an intern with an organization called Children of the Nations. As you read further you will see ways that my heart has forever been changed because of this experience. It is a journey of losing myself and finding Christ in the eyes of the poor and orphaned. I have come to realize that this was not just a 2 month vacation, but that I am now responsible for what I have seen. I am now in the process of taking what I know and applying it to my world here. Please join me in this as I become more aware of the hurts in Africa and search for other ways to serve at home. I pray that this website will not only be informative, but also encouraging. Thank you for visiting!
God Bless!!
Love,
Karin :)
