About

In the summer between my Junior and Senior year of high school, I ended up going to Nicaragua, even though when I first got there I didn't want to be there or have much part in what we were doing there, God slowly changed my heart over the ten days that we were there and gave me a love for what we were doing there. I had never felt anything like what I felt throughout those ten days, it was a sense of accomplishment, not just because we were doing work and that it was for a good cause but because it genuinely caused me joy to be working with, and ministering to the kids on the street. I connected with them and felt for them in ways that I had never felt for anything before. God gave me His heart, and His passion for those kids, it's something that I will never forget.
While we were preparing to leave the night before our flight back into America, the nationals prayed over us and we had a time of intercession for the nation of Nicaragua. It was such a Spirit-filled experience and I knew that this [missions] is what I wanted to do for the rest of my life, then God gave me this word, more like a prophecy that said, "For you planned on learning the words of man, but I will teach you to preach the words of God." and at first I didn't understand it and thought that I was just hearing things that I wanted to hear, but a little while after one of the nationals came and prayed over me and confirmed the calling and I lost it, I was lost to God and there was no one who could pull me out of that.

I am currently attending school at Bethany Global University in Minneapolis, Minnesota and pursuing a double major in Intercultural Ministry and Bible/Theology while also pursuing a minor in TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language). After I graduate I plan on going into the nations spreading the word of God, and following His lead. This blog is my story of how I'm working to get there, and some thoughts I'm having along the way. If you have any questions or want to help me in my journey feel free to message me on Facebook at Kayla Lipker.
