Author's Note

The following contains unbelievable tales from a missions trip I took part in during the summer of 2008 with an organization known as Castillo del Rey (King’s Castle).
A few years ago the Lord called me to be a missionary in Nicaragua for at least two years. That calling has become my passion and purpose, which is why I decided to take part in Castillo del Rey’s annual summer missions trip called World Warriors.
What your about to read is a series of journal entries that I recorded during this trip. I wrote thirty-nine entries over a period of forty-seven days in which my team and I traveled through El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Costa Rica, and back through El Salvador again.
I assure you everything you’re about to read is completely true. None of which I have written to you was made up. These are actual occurrences in my life and this is my sincere testimony. The following events are extremely personal and have changed my life. If you do decide to read this journal, please take the time to finish what you started and read it all the way through.
My goal is to share what God has done with whoever is willing to listen or read. Something so great must be told. I hope to open people’s eyes to see how God moves and the miracles he can do. I want to show people what our God is all about. I also hope to show you that age is not a barrier and how God can use average people to make a difference in our world.
Please note that I take no glory in this. My goal is not to exalt myself, but instead it is to merely share what God can do and to glorify his name.
Believe me, the things you’re about to read will amaze you. I appreciate the time you’ve given to reading, or even just the time taken to consider reading my testimony.

Thank you and
God bless,

Amanda Barnett
