Mind on the Mission

So far this semester I have studied Luke, Acts, and Jeremiah in depth and it has been mind-blowing! I have been on many mission trips while in youth, but I never had a heart for the poor like described in Luke and Act. However, after studying and reading over and over again how much the disciples and the church poured themselves out as servants to those in need, I have began to develop a passion and desire to do the same. This year I have had more meaningful conversations with people on campus than ever before, I have experienced my eyes and heart being open to peoples needs, and I have been able to serve and talk to the people I see walking down the street while I give them a ride to where they need to go. And this summer I get to serve at Tacoma, Washington where I will be working alongside a church plant to reach the community, to go out to meet the needs of the people, and to live life with them while I'm there. Even after I graduate next Fall I plan on taking my Spring semester off to go serve in Kenya before coming back to school for my masters.
