Hi everyone, I am Shelby Pearce and I am twenty years young. I went on a RL trip last summer to Nicaragua and God did some amazing things with us. In a lot of ways, I feel that trip was the pinnacle for me. There was so much effort, time and preparation put into that trip and then BAM! Not exactly what I was expecting. It was wonderful. God revealed more of Himself during those two months than every before. I was propelled into a new lifestyle of being about the Father. It's all about the Love. God is love and for this trip and my life in general, my desire is to love. Love God. Love people. I am not a hippie even though I've said the word love a lot:) Oh yes, I spent Christmas in Africa. I was so blessed by that experience and challenged with stewardship. God taught me more of how to steward time, money and gifts. It was a whirlwind of a Christmas break and just left my heart with a hunger to return to Africa. I know this will be a wonderful summer. I am anticipating meeting all of you! See you in fifteen days!
