US college students studying abroad prime targets for espionage activity, FBI warns

The FBI is warning U.S. College students to be aware of foreign intelligence officers.

"The cash-strapped college junior from Jenison, Mich., soon became an easy target of Chinese intelligence officers, who first paid him to write political papers in what seemed like a benign job. The People's Republic of China officers then befriended Shriver -- sometimes meeting him in swanky hotel penthouses -- and asked that he consider applying for U.S. government jobs. "

Wanderlust

Dreaming of traveling the world while I'm still here.

Climbing mountains, sailing seas; I just want to get out and explore. Whether it is from mission work overseas or studying abroad. I want to learn other cultures. Experience total immersion. Learn new languages. Wanderlust defines me. I want to visit the Eiffel tower. Write about the people of Nepal. Visit Ukraine and interview the resistance. Be a war correspondent. See the Sistine Chapel.

Kite by Wilhelm Tell Me

Kite

I’m so tired of living like
Living like a kite
I pulled my head off the clouds and
And started walking for miles
But strings made me stumble
And winds made me tumble like leaves
It’s all going down
Until one’s back on his knees

And some say if you’ve been that far
You’ll never get home

Won’t you run away with me
For all the things that we could be
Somewhere I can lay my head
Someday they won’t hold you back

This city’s got stories
That nobody knows
But we won’t be one of them
If you just let me know
But strings made you stumble
And winds made you tumble like leaves
It’s all going down
Until you’re back on your knees

And some say if you’ve been that far
You’ll never get home

Another Lovely Song By Wilhelm Tell Me

Mission Trip to Rabi, Fiji

I have a dream to go to Rabi, Fiji for a mission trip to help the community. I helped construct a hurricane shelter last year on the island and now I am hoping to go back this coming August. I want to make an impact on the people in Rabi and to have them see God's light through me. Most importantly it is not about me, it is about the people of Rabi. On this next trip I am hoping to compile a journal of life stories of several people on the island and report on them.

I would like to bring awareness to the poverty in the third-world countries. Most people just see Fiji as a luxurious vacation spot, but many do not see the day to day lives of the people living on the outer islands. Rabi is inhabited by the Banabans and you can learn more about Rabi here!

I will be going on this trip in August with the Pleasant Valley Church, Through the Jabez Humanitarian Project

Several Projects that they have accomplished in Rabi are: Water Improvement, the Rabi TB Project, and other medical projects.

My goals on this trip outside of the building projects and the initial project with the group:

- To Prepare my Journal for the first part of the book

- To interview several Fijians and Banabans about their walk with Christ

- To take photographs for the book

- To Provide Bibles for the Pastor of the Lasilasi community for him to distribute to his community.

What I still need for the trip:

- A good camera for taking quality photos for the book and interview process and to take pictures of the Mission Compound

- Compact Bibles to Distribute

-Your Prayers

Would you like to help me minister to the people of Rabi? 

Check out my GoFundMe Page for more information!

If you are not able to help financially, then you prayers would greatly help us on our mission of hastening Christ's soon return!

My Writing Endeavors: Just Eleanor

So for a while now I have been working on a new manuscript. It first originated out of a class assignment called a "Knightly Tale." Then I turned it into a short story called "The Broken Code of Chivalry." It focused on a Lord's daughter and how she dealt with the aftermath of her world crumbling to pieces. One day she was living in the lap of luxury and then the next she was homeless wandering about in the forest.

Later I entailed that her father had broken the code of chivalry, because he had an affair with another woman, and he was killed in the fire that demolished their castle. Eleanor, the main character struggles to survive in the forest on her own and she decides to go to her uncle and beg to be a servant for him. Never the less I managed to twist and change the plot again and that is how I came upon "Just Eleanor."

My cover art is flexible, but the picture above was what I used for wattpad, but I am looking for someone to create a cover for me or I artistically devise one myself. After the Heartbleed virus was present on Wattpad I took down the beginning of my story and I had accumulated over 9,000 reads. Now I am hoping to piece that story back together and revise it before I post it again. I am still working on writing the story, but "Just Eleanor" has come from a short story to an over 8,000 word document in the beginning stages of work.

If any writers out there have tips for me and how I can build and grow let me know! I would love to hear from you!
