I just got back from Atlanta (aka The ATL, Hotlanta, etc.). I got the opportunity to represent JV in Passion's Global Awakening Center. It was an unbelievable time. God was moving there. 25,000 students and volunteers combined to give about $700,000 to help build wells in Africa, send 20 Africans to college, build a community center in the middle of a college campus in Iraq, send 2500 Bibles to China, sign a petition that will go to the U.N. to stop the sex trafficing trade in Eastern Europe, translate the New Testament for two people groups who have never read the word in their own language before (!), provide about 50,000 socks and towels for the homeless in the Atlanta area and provide life saving surgeries for children in Central America.
We also got to talk to and pray with hundreds of students about what God is doing in Eastern Europe and thousands more made committments to going to serve God somewhere in the world! It was great to watch as students hearts grew for the world as the week went on.
Here is a pictoral highlight:

Hi New Friend.
Miss ya already.
I envy how much you get to travel and I strive to have the same amount of fire and passion for God, students, and missions as you do. It was really great getting to know you for 2 days while you were in AZ. When you feel discouraged, alone, or indifferent, know that a 22 yr-old girl in Phx, AZ is lifting you up in thought and prayer on a daily basis. Until The Lord crosses our paths again....peace, love, and joy to you. Save travels!
yeah, i made the Passion blog. We really miss you here friend and wished we had more time to hang out. Hope to see you soon. Love ya!
