Hey all you wonderful people!!

What a crazy time to be living in!!! I don’t know about you, but I am so ready to be done with this quarantine and get back to normalcy if that is even possible. However, honestly I can’t complain as is hasn’t been all that bad and through all of this I have gained a new perspective on thankfulness and having hope even in the midst of chaos. I have realized how truly blessed I am but at the same time my heart breaks for all those who have been affected by COVID-19. My prayers continually go out to you all but I am hopeful that this will soon come to an end.

On another note, I wanted to reach out and let everyone know what I have been up too since all this started. Most of you know that I am pursuing full-time missions but for those who are new to my site I encourage you to go check out my story/previous blogs!

Currently, I am in the process of building a team. What kind of team?? I am glad you asked! I am looking for individuals who see the vision the Lord has placed on my heart and want to invest. As long as I can remember the Lord has lit a fire in my heart specifically for the nations to see lives changed and transformed by the love of God. In order for this to happen I need a team who will willingly support me financially each month. I do understand that we are living in a weird time but I realized myself that even in the times of the unknown God always provides. Now, I know there are times we are unable to give and I want to reassure you there there is no pressure on my part. I am speaking to those who feel a tug on their heart to give. Maybe your sitting reading this and thinking about how at one point you wanted to do missions or at least help. Well…now is your chance! Your investment goes towards lives being changed and transformed. I ask you to prayerfully consider investing in the lives of the present and future.

If you would like to join my team financially head to the top the page and click GIVE and follow the directions. Also, if would like to schedule a phone call / video chat please email me at candice@overlandmissions.com.

All my love, Candice

God does some of His best work in the unexpected seasons. For instance when Mary was told that she would be the mother of Jesus. Was she expecting that one…not at all! Though what an amazing season that she was able to carry and mother the one who would come to save us all. Or what about Moses who was told that he would be the one to deliver the Israelite’s out of Egypt. I’m sure it wasn’t the first thing on his to do list. To this day thing’s haven’t changed and as humans we sometimes have expectations and plans of what life is going to look like and than it all gets turn upside down. Although, I am so thankful for a God who is in the midst of all things especially through this season that we are all facing. He is so FAITHFUL! Personally, these past few months have definitely come with a load of unexpectedness. Earlier this month I had faced something that I had thought I had overcome. At first I had felt ashamed but I was reminded that even in this life we still face trials, but what matters most is how we face them. When I was younger I struggled with depression and anxiety and I know that I am free of it , but I allowed it to creep back into my life. These past few weeks really gave me an understanding of what fear can really do when you forget who you are in Christ. It can be completely debilitating and cause you to lose all hope. I began to forget the vision that God placed on my heart and what more does the enemy want than to strip you of what God has called you to. I share this as it is very personal and to give insight that fear is not our portion. The enemy wants you to be in fear and doubt but Jesus came so that we can overcome the snares of the enemy. Today, I look back at what I went through and though it is still so recent I am excited to use my testimony to help set others free. I say all this because this season with COVID-19 has brought so much fear but God wants you to be at peace and know that He is your protector and that He is truly in the midst of it all. If at all you feel like you need prayer please don’t hesitate to contact me as I would love to pray with and for you!

All my love, Candice
