T.I.A. Ya'll T.I.A.



WOW!!!
Where do I start? Where do I end? What to tell? So much has been happening and God has done mind blowing things!
Well, I'll start off by saying, Hey! im sure you are all very happy that i have finally blogged. haha.
I just want to pray real quick before i actually start this thing.
 
Father God, I come to you today with a broken heart and humbled knees. I am so thankful that you have blessed me with this opportunity to come to Africa and allowed me to teach your word and love to these people.
I pray that you srengthen my team and me every day, for sickness has brought a cloud of desparation over us.
I pray for healing over our team, and for health for us and our leaders. i pray that you use us to shine a light to the people here in Africa, and that you come and dwell here. Father please make yourself evident to these people that they may see you in even the smallest of things. I love you, and I thank you.
in your name,
Amen
 
So, Africa is the most amazing place i have ever set foot in. If i actually had the choice, I'd stay here.....forever.
Let me just tell you a little bit about what i have been doing here, and ill tell you more later on in my next blog, next week.
I am working at Joshua Project, its a after school program where underprivilaged kids come to learn about God. They also practice skills that can help them for their future, such as, wood work, painting, music, etc.
I am living at a camp base called UCSA, which is a very tiny yet very cool little place. my rondovel (round house) is based in the center of the camp, and its right by the kitchen :) :) haha
My team is AMAZING!!! i have fallen in love with every single one of them.
it is so evident that the people on this team were hand picked by God to work extremely well with each other.
 
J-baai is a very small town right on the southern cape. Its where the Billabong Surf Pro is held every year, sadly in july. haha. it mainly consists of surf shops and coffee shops, for those of you who know me well that is a very deadly combination.
 
God has really been working on my heart even since training camp where my pride is concerned. I have been getting help from my leaders and my teamates to put my pride in its grave. it has been REALLY hard for me to do.....which is sad. So if you at home could be praying for me, that would be awesome. God even uses prayers from the other side of the world to help people. haha. Also, if you could pray for my team and for the people of J-Baai that would rock my world, and I'm sure God would think its pretty neat too.
 
if you guys have any questions for me hit me up on facebook, or email me at kevinking@austin.rr.com, i check it often and ill try to do a little Q&A for one of my next blogs. haha
 
Alright guys, thats all for now!
holla at ya later!

So much in the past few months has changed in my life. I'm done with high school, that's huge, I let go of commitments, that was hard, I became an adult by law, and that was stressful. Even through all of the ups, downs, and stress God has been there every step of the way. He guided me with His right had through all of my work for this trip. I believe the single most evident place he was had to be in my support. My support partners donated over $8000 in 4 months. Now if that's not something of God, well you know. So as of two days ago I received my visa for the trip, which was exhilarating! To open my passport and see my "Tourist Visa" inside lifted a great weight off of my shoulders! So now I sit and wait, which will kill me. I only have a few things going on till we leave. I cannot wait to finally meet everybody that I have talked to over Facebook. I think that our team is going to blend very well

W O A H.....



Woah, it has been one crazy summer! One amazing thing happening after the next. I have attempted to just relax for most of the summer, but of course, thats not gonna happen...
So lets see...what cool God things have happened since my last post....
 
I went with my parents to California about a month ago and got to go to a C28 store! Which was an experience like no other. I walked in just to mosey around a little when the people working in the store started asking my dad and me alot of questions. By the time we left the girl at the counter was praying for me and this trip, it was awesome! I had never seen people working in such a public place with the willingness and eagerness to pray for someone that they don't even know. Major props to them. I also had an encounter with a stingray while I was there...all I have to say is, ouch.
 
I just went on my last youth camp with my church as an attendee this past month. That was one of the hardest things ever for me even though it was the best camp I have ever been on. At one moment I questioned why God wanted me on this trip. And through the encouragement and loving words of my friends, and youth leaders I understood that God can use anybody to further His kingdom. I am humbled and amazed that he would choose me.
 
I recently went on a mission trip with my church to Mexico. We take a group of teens and their parents or even entire families three to four times a year. I felt like this year was one of the best trips so far. Which was nice since it will be my last trip until our trip to Africa. God has revealed a lot of thing to me about myself these past few months. He is preparing me for this trip daily.
 
I am ready....

Lets Get Hectic, Shall We?



So life is starting to get pretty crazy for me lately. Even in the midst of all the craziness, God has still made himself manifest to me. Now that school is over, the fun of work begins. I don't think I have one spare moment during June. Besides the busyness, I am ready for summer. The entire process proceeding this month have been very worrisome. I never thought I would get the amounts needed for each checkpoint. when I first started fund raising I thought it was going to be impossible to raise $1400 by June 8th. At the moment I have $3865 in my account, wow. I couldn't muster any other words than "wow". It amazes me to see how much my friends and family have given to me to be able to go on this trip. God has continually made himself evident in my life, and is teaching me daily. I love it. I am so excited that I have been given this opportunity to go and serve an awesome and loving God. I am excited and ready.

As summer sneaks up...



It's getting HOT here in Austin. It's just wrong how hot it is. Well i have lots of people responding to my support letter. its nice to hear people say how happy they are for me and that they are making a contribution to help me follow God's plan for me. My Aunt held a garage sale and was given/raised over 600 dollars. WOAH! i was and am amazed by how God provides, when i haven't even really started my fund-raising yet. i am very excited to see the different ways that God provides for this trip. i am loving the preparation process and i am ready to be on this trip right now. haha. i guess i have to wait.

Verses that God has given to me...




"Now to Him Who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is a work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen."

Ephesians 3:20-21



"However, as it is written: No eye has seen, nor ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him..."

1 Corinthians 2:9




"The Sovereign Lord has given me his words of wisdom, so that I know what to say to all these weary ones. Morning by morning he wakens me and opens my understanding to his will."


Isaiah 50:4

Next step in my life



Alright, so let me start off by saying, WOW!
I never knew that I would get a opportunity as amazing as this to go out and serve God, wow.

I have known since a young age that God had a plan for missions in my life.
My only problem was that when I first discovered this, I was seven.
so i was a little too young to go anywhere, but I knew.
God has made this plan more and more evident to me over the years with each mission trip I go on.

I can't wait to see what God has in store for me and my team mates throughout the preparation and during this amazing experience!



More to come,

Kevin
