As I sit in India anticipating the long travel day back to America, I have every emotion running through my mind. I’m anxious if everyone back home will understand the radical difference in me, sad  that I’m leaving this mission field abroad, hopeful for what the Lord is doing next in my life, anticipating ministry opportunities, and blessed by the community that I got to walk with during this season of life.

O-squad started as individuals who wanted to do radical ministry in some of the hardest places to reach in the world, and let me tell you we did that…But we also gained friendships, genuine love for each other, fought, laughed till someone peed themselves(IYKYK), played many card games(Mak team Bangin has to finish it a final debrief), cried together, fought for each other, prayed for healing, sought forgiveness from each other, and we became a family through it all. A powerful family that has chased the Lord recklessly. 

I could sit here and share story after story how these people, my family, have impacted me and how I’m a better man of God because of them. Nothing will ever replace this crazy year of learning and being a real disciple of Jesus. I’m happy that I said yes over a year ago to Go into the nations. 

Finally, THANK YOU to everyone who prayed, financially supported, checked in throughout the year, and overall supported me leaving America to share the Good News with people across the world.
