Interview with Mica Neuda

Interview with Mica Neuda 

1.     What are you most excited about?

a.     What am I not excited about?! I am excited for God to show up tangibly and for me to pray for people to get physically healed, to see the country and the people. I’m also excited to be away from my phone and to be intentional with my teammates, to be thankful for what I have and I know that it's going to be a privilege to spend time with these kids... The kids. To know the kids. To get to know them. That’s a huge privilege.

2.     What was the hardest thing to do or get done while prepping?

a.     Cutting my hair off, didn’t do it til 7 days before... But seriously... Trusting that God would provide financially and fully fund me. Because I didn’t think He was going to do that. I was so ready to take out my own money. But He showed up and totally funded me. Trusting Him in that was the hardest thing.

3.     What gift do you, Mica, bring to the team and the people of Haiti?

a.     Worship and joy! The joy of the Lord is my strength. I just got hit by that today… dude, so good. He is the culmination of joy. I feel gifted in worship by welcoming God’s Spirit into our minds and the Church. That He is actually in the room when we sing these songs. In scripture it says that He "inhabits the praise of His people" and I want to bring that forth. Allow people to experience that worship is more than just a song. Its crying out and corporately declaring who He is and rejoicing in that. 

4.     What do you like better: beans, chicken, or rice?

a.     Chicken. Im all about the protein.

5.     Whats a verse that the Lord has put on your heart for Haiti?

a.     Perfect love casts out fear. 1 John 4:18 personally. I think that fear holds back a lot of people, especially the Church. But it's crazy that we don't walk in the truth that everything is under our feet and we have total authority. God is seriously all for us. And this verse really broke fear in me and if I have the Holy Spirit in me and if God is love and God is the Holy Spirit then there is no room for fear. That helped with everything. Prepping for Haiti, going to Haiti, etc. This verse just broke it in Jesus name

b.     Psalm 68:5, 6 for the team and for the trip – Because this whole year has been about God as a Father. But I got to know it in a more intense and real way. He is a Father who celebrates us and its so cemented in my heart that He is a Father. So, I am excited to live out that verse and to be a "Father" to the fatherless. 

"A father of the fatherless, a defender of widows,

Is God in His holy habitation.

6 

God sets the solitary in families;

He brings out those who are bound into prosperity;

But the rebellious dwell in a dry land."
