This concern led me to really begin thinking about my own privileged position and attitude living in a 1<sup>st</sup> world nation. These thoughts, prayers, and reflections are just the beginning of my own personal response to what God is doing in my small corner of the world.</span></i><span face="" style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 13pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span><span face="" lang="EN" style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 13pt;">Amidst all the chaos of quarantine and the fears of the spreading virus, I read this quote from author Christine Caine, “Sometimes when you are in a dark place you think you’ve been buried, but actually you’ve been planted.” What a different point of view. I don’t know how this global pandemic has affected you, but it has certainly changed your life in some very unexpected ways; how will you choose to view this trial? Don’t let yourself be buried when God might be planning transformed life.</span><span face="" style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 13pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span><span face="" lang="EN" style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 13pt;">I have asked God repeatedly to stop this quickly and heal the thousands who are suffering, but then the prompting of the Holy Spirit forced me to change my prayer. I began to think, what if God is using this global crisis to draw hundreds of thousands of hearts to him? There seems to be such a lack of good news during this time. But I have heard so many encouraging testimonies about college students attending virtual bible studies, about fathers who work from home finally being able to read scripture to their kids, and about floods of desperate seekers logging into virtual church services. With tears of anxiety in my eyes and a lump in my throat, I decided to change my prayer of “stop this quickly” into a prayer that I might have strength to endure this for as long as it needs to last for lives to be saved. As much as it terrifies me, I am choosing to be planted and not buried.</span><span face="" style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 13pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span><span face="" lang="EN" style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 13pt;">In his article, “First-Year Vineyard Care,” Wes Hagan explains that after planting young vines the vintner will gradually decrease watering to force the plant to grow deeper roots. Hagan encourages vintners to, </span><span face="" style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 13pt;">“Allow the roots to dry out between water applications. This will promote root growth as the vines sink their root systems deeper into the soil layers in an attempt to find water.” This strange season certainly feels like God has left us wandering without water. However, I will choose to believe that our sovereign Lord actually has a plan and that he will use these deeper roots that we are being forced to grow now in order to bear beautiful, sweet fruit in the days to come.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><b><span face="" lang="EN" style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14pt;">John 5:15 <i>“I am the vine; you are the branches.

<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Going back was harder at first then I imagined. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I was so excited to go with the team, including my fiance, Zac, and show them my life there but part of me didn't know if returning would bring back all the stress that I felt when I was there or if it would feel like a heartbreak when the time came to return to the States again. </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"></span></div>

Part of my heart was left with each ministry I worked with and each seed I planted/watered. However, leaving the Philippines last year to return to the U.S. was a much more severe separation than ever before. I had been gone longer this time and I experienced stress, fatigue, and loss during my time in the Philippines. Being back home in the U.S. felt comfortable and safe which made part of me want to avoid the feelings involved in returning to my host culture (the Philippines) and then having to say goodbye to it once more. </span></div>

If they experienced what I had maybe they would begin to understand my stories. </span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">We returned to the small mountain village where I had spent almost a month 3 years prior. The little community of believers that my previous team had the privilege of baptizing was now ready for their first church building and they were in need of supplies to build the foundation. Our small team, my dad (Carlos), my fiance (now husband! Zac), med-student (Kenya), basketball guru (Tanner), and myself were packed onto several motorcycles for the hour trip up the mountain into the village. We spent the night in hammocks, visited the homes of the people, and hosted a Jesus film "movie night" for everyone there. </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">After our night in the village, we hopped on a bus for 7 hours and headed toward Davao (where I had spent majority of my two and a half years there serving in the maternity clinic). There we met our ministry partners the Wicks. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">With the Wick family and their ministry team we got to:</span></div>
<div>
<ul><br />
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Visit House of Hope (a home for children fighting cancer)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Help with their kids ministry "Buhi" (much like a weekly VBS program)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Play lots of basketball with their basketball ministry (which instills godly principles in children and teaches them how to memorize scripture)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Serve with a food program</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Share at a truck rally (with some of the wealthiest and most influential men in Davao)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Attend & Encourage the Wick's church</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Distribute Love Packs (food, toiletries, & other necessities delivered door-to-door to the poorest communities in Davao)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Pray over many many people!</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Also, Kenya and I were able to serve a couple times in the clinic that I had worked with before. It was a whirlwind of a trip and God worked mightily. </span></li>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">It was a privilege to show my home to the team and I was reminded of all the wonderful things I missed about living in the Philippines. It was filled with fun memories and joy and less anxiety then I had imagined in returning. God allowed me to re-experience so many things that I loved about my previous time in my host culture.</span></div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Ultimately, I was reminded that the anxieties a person can have when traveling to another country can happen for a variety of reasons. Whether this is the first time going on a trip or whether they've been going for 10 years, stepping off a plane in a new culture is not an easy thing to do, even if you're certain it's what God has asked you to do. Mission Trips are difficult; they can be stressful and anxiety-producing but when you take the opportunities that God has given you, to love in ways that He has equipped you, He will show up. God will always reach towards us through ways we couldn't have imagined and often in ways that stretch us in our fears and anxieties. Going on a Mission Trip and following through with the prayer, fundraising, traveling, and evangelism may just be God's way of reaching towards you & His children living half a world away. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">If you see some of yourself in my story or maybe you sense God asking you to reach out, consider joining RTH on the next trip to the Philippines this summer:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Christy Carter: </span></b>We were able to travel 22 hours and meet some of the most wonderful people I’ve ever met in my life! Our team of 7 helped to put in 8 water wells and bring joy and the story of Jesus to 3 different villages, a total of over 72 families!!! God is good!!</span><br />

What a joy it is was to share the hope of Jesus with the whole village that I was at after installing the well. The Jesus film went great!

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Day 4</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Christy Carter: </b>We were able to visit our partners orphanage. She runs the orphanage with little no help with 21 + children sometimes. She needs more support financially for those beautiful babies ....<br /><b>Wade Campbell: </b>Today RTH Team moved to Nkhoma in the south to spend time with an amazing lady, Nicole, doing God’s work for orphans. Currently, there are 21 children ranging from 3 weeks to 9 years old. As you can see affection, love, tickling and laughter are the same on this side of the world. The children sang songs like “Jesus in the King of the Jungle” and “Jesus is the King of the Universe”. God’s spirit was high amongst us. After a short break we are heading back now to spend the evening with them.</span></div>

<h2>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Day 5</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Norma Puerta: </b>Blessed Sunday. - Our RtH team spent the day worshipping and connecting with the people of Dowa District. Our team leader, Zac, had an opportunity to share and encourage the congregation to preservere. After the service, the Chiefs meeting was held. Multiple Chiefs shared their testimonies of abandoning their faith in charms to place their faith in Jesus Christ; they encouraged and challenged one another to be the Christian leaders their villages need. Amen! We also held an reading glasses clinic and presented Talking Bibles to village chiefs to take back to their villages. This will help the villages continue strong in their faith and walk with Christ. Thank you to all of our supporters. The LORD is blessing Malawi.<br /><b>Christy Carter:</b> Africa Day 5 - we drove 3.5 hours to attend a chiefs’ meeting of over 50 chiefs and many village members, a church service, and an eyeglass fitting for the people of the villages.<br /><b>Zac Beougher:</b> This Sunday in Malawi included a church service out in the bush in which we had the opportunity to preach, reading glasses clinic, share with the chiefs at their meeting, and then present them with Talking Bibles (audio recordings of the New Testament). Nicole (our friend who runs the orphanage we visited) was able to join us. Just a solid day 😊</span></div>

<h2>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Day 6</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Christy Carter: </b>Truly needed days of rest and reflection. The days in the villages were very long days and very emotional and thought-provoking days ... thank God for His beautiful creation of this world. There is so much to see and be thankful for!! <br /><b>Ty Campbell:</b> Our Malawi team enjoyed a nice rest day after the last four days of work installing a record 8 water wells, spending time with the Chief Ministries, and playing with the children at an orphanage. We enjoyed some beautiful African landscapes and animals. Sharing the word of God with some of the locals that were our escorts is what our team is here to accomplish. Tomorrow, we’ll start with devotionals and another beautiful blessed day in Africa.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Days 7-9</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Nathan Giles:</b> Today was our day of rest and reflection here in Malawi. We’ve come to the last couple days of our time here and are starting to process through everything we have experienced. With four people on our team who have never been to Malawi before, it has been amazing to see how their perspectives have changed. At the same time, my fourth trip feels so much different from my first. No matter how many times I leave the U.S., I always seem to return changed in some way. It is this time of reflection that allows us to take a step back and discover how God has used these new experiences and relationships to shape us and our futures.<br /><b>Zac Beougher: </b>The last days that brought this incredible trip to an end were full of rest, reflection and saying goodbye to our friends. It was also good to spend some time taking through how God has used this trip and process what happened. We gathered together as one team united, the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/reachingthehungry/?fref=mentions&__xts__%5B0%5D=68.ARCR_JTo1Vv0P5agphr9iBnKZw1XnUPWd4Zqo4dm_jw8AnVD-k6sEOmEIliOp0cNfz0fDBWZIZiuy8VHktEWesO0oPnTRX2Pi0ZsC6C4EVJ7iRFCrpVhE84ETqXN9GTMendofQSPPuB-5ENw-uWh7cIp2FI4LQfiQPb7Nxh5REiDkVkLS3opU48&__tn__=K-R">Reaching the Hungry</a> US and Malawi team for a Partners Dinner.
