This past week the Forge ventured to Houston for a student-led mission trip. We spent a lot of time working with a church called City of Refuge and a plethora of urban ministries such as Star of Hope and Open Door Mission. It was an incredible week learning and ministering in Houston.
I don't have a lot of experience with Houston, honestly, but left the week really loving what God is doing in that city. There is so much need and there are some really cool things happening there.
The Forge is going by very quickly... VERY quickly! A month from now we will be in Israel! Wow. This semester has been really good, as our friendships strengthen and deepen and we put to practice a lot of what we learned last semester. As I learn with greater clarity than I've ever had, how God has designed me and created me to minister to this world, there is so much more freedom and purpose in everyday interactions and service. I love what the Forge teaches and am so grateful for this time in life. Truly so grateful.
That's all I've got, just a good day here in the Forge reflecting on how incredible it is to have this time to really understand who God is and who I am in light of Him.

Wow - I didn't realize you were going to Israel. I'd love to get together and compare notes when you get back. I went 10.5 years ago and every time I think about it I want to go back! It truly change everything for me in regards to my faith. I've never read the Bible the same since that trip. I'm so glad you get to experience it!!
