Update

Dear Friends and Family,
     I want to take the time to thank all of you for the prayer and support I've received as I prepare for my trip to Thailand. You have been a blessing in my life and I appreciate all of you. I am thankful for the opportunities I've been given to come speak to various people and churches and share my heart and vision for this trip.
     Thanks to all of you I have been able to purchase my plane ticket and send in part of my money for my training at Impact School of missions. These are very exciting things and I wouldn't have been able to get this far without your help. I have been given the opportunity to work some of the upcoming missions fundraisers being hosted by my church and will be able to receive a small amount of fund through this avenue.
     I am still raising money for overseas health insurance, living expenses, the rest of my tuition for Impact School of Missions, and various items such as luggage, clothes for outreach, etc. This means I have about $15,000 left to raise. Living expenses can come in after I'm there but I'll need to have my health insurance and tuition paid by the beginning of August ($9,000). This can seem like an overwhelming, and even impossible goal to achieve, but I know that this is something God has asked me to do and I know together, with him, we can reach this goal.
      I ask that would pray and consider supporting my financially in this journey. If you donating to my trip is something you would like to do you can donate online at kaitlinadventures.blogspot.com under the donation tab.
     I covet all of your prayers as well. Please pray for me as I travel and fund raise for this trip. I am so excited to be able to share my experiences with all of you. Thank you for your support!
God Bless,

Kaitlin Hicks

I Have Arrived & Thank You

     Hello all! I have officially arrived in Bangkok. It was a long ride here but I have finally made it. I wanted to take this time to thank all of you. Thank you for sending me money, for praying for me, encouraging me, and supporting me all around. I wouldn't be here without you. I won't lie being here is nerve wracking and I'm already homesick, but I'm also excited for the things in store and all that I know God is going to do in my time here. You have all made this possible and that's incredible.      Special thanks to everyone who has provided enough cards and letters of encouragement to last me my whole trip. I don't even know everyone that gave Brooke cards to give to me but I am so excited to open them. I know each of them will be divinely timed and I will receive so much from them. I get to open the first one Monday!       Church Family: I want to say thank you to everyone at LWC for being the most incredible and loving church fam...

Seven Year Dream

     Just in case you missed it. I finished my month of training with ISM and I am now at my internship. I am so thankful for my amazing month with ISM. I was able to learn so much and grow with an amazing group of people. The likelihood of falling flat on my face without the help of ISM would be much greater than it is now that I was able to spend that time in training and transition. However, I am so happy to finally be at Nightlight working and serving. I serve in the office as an office assistant, but within that role I am blessed to be able to do a number of different things. I do some data entry, work sales, clean the showroom, give tours, attend outreach, I have the opportunity to teach English once a week for some of the women, and I help with whatever else needs to be done.      Some times working in an office or cleaning a room can seem mundane and pointless, but when I truly stop and think about the reality of where I am and what I'm doing I fin...

The Mess We Don't Expect

     Growing up in the church, especially with parents in ministry, you get a unique perspective of many things. The ins and out of how a church is run, all of the billions of different types of casseroles and the exact function of each one (funerals, surgeries, potlucks, etc.), how the body of Christ should look at it's best, and the downfall of what happens when we as Christians live according to our flesh. I've seen it all, I have experienced it all. I have even borne witness to the things that church does that it doesn't even realize it does, good and bad. The church is great at many things without even realizing it, and yet there are still areas where the church needs improvement.      One of the areas I've noticed, especially lately, where the church has room to grow is sin. Specifically how we categorize sin. We all have gotten up and said at one point or another that all sin is equal in God's eyes, but the reality is we don't actually believe th...
