Hi :) !! My name is Allee Rodenbaugh and I am from Woodstock, GA. I currently reside in Lakeland, Florida where I am a Freshman at Florida Southern College. As of now I am majoring in Religion with hopes to be on the field after School, but just praying for guidence because I'm not sure where I am going to end up at this point!

   I come from a huge but confusing family whom I love very much. In the summer of 2005 when I was broken and on my knees God swept me by the palm of his hand and poured his grace and love into my heart. Living a life of faith has been a major challenge, but I wouldn't change it for the bit. I learn something every day about the magnificance of Christ and his purpose for my life. i came to school knowing absolutely no one, and he has surrounded me with some amazing brothers and sisters and I couldn't be any happier!

   It took a while for me to cave in and listen to what God was speaking to me about in a call towards missions. It was not until last year (April of 2009) on a trip to Honduras, was I able to fully experience what God meant by 1 Cor 16:24 "Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all." That week God broke my heart for his kingdom and I would never be the same.

   I can't express how excited I am for this journey! I am praying that he can use me, but also mold me into a greater daughter in the image of his Son. I have no doubt that I won't be transformed by the community I will be surrounded by for two months in Africa. I am so excited to meet my team, and I hope all of you know I am praying for all of you (even if I dont know your names yet haha!) YAYYYYY :)

 

In Christ,

 

Allee
