"God is Here" by Kristen Stamps

South Africa has been absolutely incredible so far! Every aspect of this experience has resonated with me and formed a precious memory that I will cherish forever. All of us have been pulled out of our comfort zones, faced fear as we’ve tried new and adventurous activities, and learned so much about leadership and how to truly serve others. One of my favorite parts of this experience has been how my faith has grown and how clearly God has shown himself to me over the past few weeks! Whether through a peace that surrounds me when facing terrifying situations such as bungee jumping or skydiving, a sweet gesture and conversation I have with a local around Cape Town, a smile and warm hug from a child in the township, or a majestic sunset painted in the sky as the day comes to an end, the Lord has surprised me each and every day with something that fills me with complete happiness and lets me know He is here. He is here and visible for all to witness if eyes are opened to see the beauty around us and ears are listening to hear loving whispers… .
