It is amazing how God uses incapable people to do His will! This Spring Break I led a trip to Chicago with Stephanie Owcarz, and God broke my pride in keeping even me in the dark of what He had planned for us. Through different events prior to Spring Break, the trip was not completely planned until two days before we left. Stephanie and I trusted that God would provide and we trusted in His guidance...and He provided amazingly!

The trip was something that I had never experienced, and as a group we worked together in place that was far from our comfort zone. Chicago is far from being Fayetteville, AR, so depending on God for wisdom and guidance was a must. We worked with a new church in a diverse area filled with yuppies, Goths, homosexuals, and homeless. We helped by picking up trash in the neighborhood, working construction on the church, and walking the streets doing surveys. The surveys really allowed us to witness in a new way because the people were people who we have never had to confront in my past. In over four days of surveys we did not meet one Christian on the streets! This area was far from Arkansas, but drew us closer to God and His guidance!
