“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.” – Luke 4:18-19

WHY CGA?

      The question people have been asking me lately is why I have decided to pack up my (lack thereof) things that I own and move to Georgia. When I attempt to explain myself, I get a little frazzled and panic slightly before I begin my long winded narrative of why. It’s partially because I honestly wouldn’t have chosen the Center of Global Action (CGA) even for myself! So what drove me to this?

      If it was up to me, I would be heading back to Swaziland helping out Hosea’s Heart creating  new  products in their workshop, or maybe taking care of orphans in Haiti with a little nugget of a child in my hand, helping out with ministry in a little surf town named Jaco in Costa Rica, or walking around  feeding the homeless people of Antigua, Guatemala. I’d love to go back to teaching  refugee kids in  Malaysia, sharing my testimony and preaching in front of people in Honduras, or  doing construction  in Dominican Republic, or witnessing to everyday people on the side of the road  in Botswana. Even  being back with my home church, working in a soup kitchen, or assisting with  an after school  program seemed like something I would want for myself after The Race. 

   However, when I made a decision to live life as a Christian I gave up the rights to my own life. My life doesn’t belong to me, and no matter how crazy that sounds to you, it’s what I believe. The Lord has chosen this particular season for me. Instead of fighting it, I’m trying to embrace it. Fighting the Lord gets us NOWHERE. I would be lying if I told you that I didn’t have doubts, that doing CGA is the program that I know I want to do or that I know everything that this journey entails, because I don’t.

“I want to be a voice for the brokenhearted.”
     I’ll tell you this though: I want to be a voice for  the  brokenhearted, for mothers who  can’t fight for  themselves, for women who are told they are  nothing  outside of sexual  intercourse, for children who have been left to die by their parents, for  homeless people  who have nothing to eat, for the continued genocide and killings all over the world. I  want  to be a woman  of action who stands up for what I know to be right. This program is going  to help take me to the next level. I have a few ideas of things that I want to do in the  future, and CGA is  going to equip and prepare  me for  that by expanding the skills and abilities that I already have. They  will come alongside me  to  show me how  to pursue my calling and what it looks like to continue  walking in my giftings. They will  continue to assist me in achieving the vision and dreams that I have by  showing me how to set goals and  to achieve them.

      I am saddened to move away from my friends and family again and leave shortly after getting back. This is not an easy plan to go with, but I know and trust that Lord has everything in control. With that being said I pray that all of my loved ones around the world will support me and continue to love no matter where I am living. Please prayerfully consider supporting with prayer, encouragement, or financial support. Help me to become the best version of my self.
