Various Countries

I started doing missions with absolutely no expectations, but with an open heart to bless and be blessed.  As it turned out, being able to travel the world doing God’s work, meeting new amazing people, getting to know them and their stories and helping where I can has become my God addiction.  It is very humbling to see people living in extreme poverty yet still have joy and to see their love of God even in their direr circumstances.  God has open doors for me that I would never have imagined possible and I’m so blessed and grateful to be able to do HIS work both at home and in other nations of the world.

Ensenada, Mexico 2010

This as my first mission’s trip was a great introduction to missions. It showed me how teamwork on the mission field is so crucial to carrying out a successful mission. It made me realize how limited I was in my own abilities, but how valuable I could be as part of a team. I was able to help in several initiatives, from sharing my testimony to neighbors, to getting my hands dirty in a building project to bringing food, water, basic life items, the gospel, and fun activities to people living in the Tijuana city dump and in migrant worker camps. I highly recommend going on a short-term mission’s trip. You'll make memories for life, and probably change lives in the process, yours included.
