WOOOOW. We. are. so. close. And as everyday passes I get more and more excited about serving in Kenya with all of you! I think I might BURST with excitement when we board the plane! YAY!

 

Well...My name is Amy Johnson but EVERYONE calls me Amy Jo.  So please call me Amy Jo! I am from Oklahoma City and I go to the University of Oklahoma (with Claire Crain...we are sorority sisters!).  I am studying to become an elementary school teacher- which I hope to teach in Africa some day! Africa is my passion.  I literally have been praying for Africa every single day since last summer.  I have a huge world map in my room so I can be praying for different countries! It brings me so much joy to pray for the beautiful people of Africa.  All I want to do is love Jesus, further the Kingdom, and share His love to everyone around me! My life is not mine. I am so joyful and estatic to be apart of something so great!

 

I recently just got back from Africa over spring break.  I went to Uganda and served in a orphanage and in a health clinic.  It has changed my life completely.  I thought I knew what Africa was like but until I got there I really had no idea how it really is.  I was overwhelmed by love from the Father! A lot of people say that once you go to Africa you spend the rest of your life trying to get back and that is exactly how I felt! And when this opportunity came up Jesus just blessed me tremendously and I just feel even more in love with Him! What a beautiful, sweet, loving Jesus we worship! I am brought to my knees everyday with the love that he was flowed over me!!

 

Claire and I say all the time..."Hey guess what?!... WE ARE GOING TO AFRICA." This happens at least three times a day.  I am just so pumped to be meeting all of you and spending time with you.  The Lord is just so present already and he is going to do some crazy things through us!
