My testimony that i would like to share is, well this :). Ever since i was eight years old, i felt that God has called me to be a missionary, and i have been prayering lots about it since. But my first mission trip didn't happen until almost six years later, and even than it almost didn't happen at all.

My cousin's church was going on a mission trip to Haiti, and they invited me along. I really wanted to go, but the trip was for 12 days, and cost 1,800 dollars. I had 70 dollars to pay for my trip, thats it. If i didn't have the money in two weeks, i wouldn't be able to go. So i went home and sat in my room and prayed. I told God that if this was His will for me to go, that He really needed to do something to help out, because i couldn't do it alone. So that Sunday i went to church and i started getting random donations of money, and i started to tell people that i was going on a mission trip to Haiti and that i would really like their prayers, and they did pray, AND give money. My whole trip and supplies ended up being paid for my the deadline. I was going to Haiti. I cried and thanked God when i found out. My dreams were not just dreams anymore they were becoming reality.

When we got to Haiti, we went to the capital, into the mountains, and into the desert too. It was really life changing for me to see real demons, zombies, poverty, brokeness, possessed people, and so much destruction everywhere. But as we made our way around the country, hundreds of people were saved in less than two weeks. And just as much were healed and filled with the Holy Spirit. It was nothing like i have ever experienced in my life, and i can't wait to go on another mission trip.

I think we all need to reach out to people whether its across the world, or in our nieghborhood, we are here, and were born to make a difference, and make a change. But always remember we can't do it all on our own. :)
