GAD to SDR: Team Changes!

Before traveling to Albania, we took time to close our time with our old teams and be introduced to our new teams! I would like to look back and honor the people who helped me the first four months on The Race. This blog will be a collection of responses to the prompt, My team is…, from my past teammates!

Gloria A Dios is…

Gloria A Dios is a home away from home, a place to grow and learn who your are on the race and in the Kingdom.

Gloria A Dios is a team of power houses. Women who are established in Gods word. Gloria A Dios is passionate about reaching the unseen in society. Gloria A Dios is rooted in prayer and Confidently established in the Lord. The women of Gloria A Dios are vessels that display Gods glory in all they do and everywhere they go.

Gloria A Dios is a powerful and intimate team of women. Through their mountains and valleys, they have established strength and dependence on the Lord. By finding their identity in the Lord and growing in love, they are passionate to share that with others. Gloria A Dios shares unique memories that they often look back on and admire how God was present. Gloria A Dios is committed to their team and to growth.

Gloria A Dios is a team of beautiful women working to bring glory to God. Our desire is to step into reckless abandonment, shed insecurities, lean into our strengths, embody grace, cal each other higher, establish discipline, and build a strong community. We have learned to love whichever culture we are in and too build the Kingdom of God. Gloria A Dios has created sweet memories and intimate moments together. Our team will be vessels that will continue to display Gods glory.

I’m so thankful for all of the memories my last team shares. There is something special about your first team.

Now, introducing my new team…Stop.Drop.&Roll.

Our Squad Leaders spoke The Parable of the Ten Virgins from Mathew 25 over us.

The Parable of the Ten Virgins tells a story about a group of virgins, that were like bridesmaids or torchbearers for a procession, chosen to be in a wedding. Each of the ten virgins is carried a lamp or torch as they await the coming of the bridegroom, which they expect to come sometime in the night.

This parable  is a reminder to be prepared for the unexpected return of Christ. The wise will be prepared and ready for Christ’s return as they enter into the eternal kingdom with Him!

SDR wants to be ready! Our vision is, ‘To stop before we move, drop to our knees in prayer, and roll with what the Spirit is prompting.’ We want to walk in radical obedience this season.

SDR has been serving with a church plant called Eagles Church in Tirana, Albania. Our focus is to connect with college aged students amongst several campuses here! Albania is a primarily culturally Muslim country.

I am learning this new blog site so thank you for being patient and staying attentive to what the Lord is doing on this side of the world!

Be well. Love well.
