Hey team, my name is Tara and I am one of the leaders on this amazing Real Life trip t

o Swaziland!

Ok so here is a little about me…

I was born in Zimbabwe and lived there for 15 years before moving to Ottawa, Canada with my family which is where I live now (so I am super excited to have some fellow Canadians on our team!). I went to college for culinary management (I thought that’s what I wanted to do with the rest of my life but God had bigger, better and more amazing plans for me). After I graduated I went on the Novas project with AIM, which was an eight month trip where I spent time in Mexico, Uganda and Kenya. I came home from Novas in May of 2010 and the last two summers I have had the incredible opportunity to lead Ambassador trips to Kenya.

Things I love: the Lord, family…I am a big family girl, sitting and hanging out with friends, being creative and working with my hands, traveling, trying new things (I will try it at least once)…. and much more!

The last couple of years the father has transformed my life, he has graciously shown me who I am in Him and revealed His grace to me. He has given me freedom and purpose and a passion to share that with others. The father has given me such a heart for AIM and for these teams. I love seeing what He does in each one of us individually and as a community as we further grasp who He is and our identity in Him. I have seen Him move in so many amazing ways in and through all the teams I have been a part of and I am so excited to see His plans for our team this fall. I feel like I am living my dream and can’t wait to meet you all and head off to Swaz. together.

Please let me know how I can be praying for you as we get ready to head out in a couple of weeks. Also can you all post a picture on the blog, that way we will all be able to put names and bios to faces :)
