While in Uganda, high school student Ashley Malloy was excited about her team’s day off: a chance to relax, recharge, and go shopping in the capital city. But it turned out God had other plans for the day. Once a week on an Ambassador trip, teams get a day of rest.

When God Calls You Out of the Boat, Go Walk on Water

High school student Abigail Converse didn’t expect her 3rd Ambassador trip to turn her world upside down.

Then she entered her busy season, and was an instrumental part of mobilizing 132 high school students to the mission field—and went herself as a leader for a two week Guatemala team.

“She Used to Be Beautiful. The World Has Done a Lot to Her.”

But one night in July, she experienced God’s healing touch in an unexpected way. “She used to be so beautiful. She still is beautiful but the world has done a lot to her,” said one of the ladies who has known Cindy* for about five years. In those five years, Cindy has spent most of them on the streets of Atlanta, sometimes in and out of temporary housing.  She is dependent on drugs...
