Hey everyone, hope this finds you all doing well! I am Jesse and I'll be one of the leaders for our upcoming trip to Swaziland. I just wanted to take a minute to tell you a little about myself and how excited I am to be a part of this experience. I am 30, so I guess that officially makes me the old man of the group (I am fully prepared for whatever old jokes you can throw at me. I think I've heard them all from my youthgroup, but if you want you can bring it anyway:). I am currently living in Valdosta, Ga. I spend most of my time working with youth, playing whatever kind of sport I can find, reading, hiking, camping and hanging out with Jesus(cause He is my favorite!). Before I moved to Georgia, I spent a year and a half doing ministry in West Virginia and Minnesota. I've been a follower of Jesus for about 7 years and there is absolutely nothing else I would want to do with this life that He has given me! He captured my heart with a love that is so great, that it has radically changed me forever! It is such an absolute priveledge to be a part of God's plan to carry the Good News of His grace to every nation! I lead a trip to Swaziland from June to August and just got back 2 weeks ago. I can't wait to go back and I am so excited for each one of you to be able to meet the amazing people of this beautiful kingdom. You know it has to be good if I am wanting to go back again so soon! I am looking forward to meeting each of you, learning from you, seeing the Lord Jesus work in you and through you and just doing life with you. I will be praying for each of you, that God will be preparing your hearts and minds for this amazing adventure that is to come!    -  Jesse
