Hi! I am so excited that I've found this forum of likeminded people. A little about me:
I am a college student in the US & I'm interested in missions and ministry. I love learning and growing in my faith & I am honestly so blessed that I have had so many opportunities to learn & grow in this past year. I had the opportunity to travel to South Asia for a few months and share the truth of the gospel with hundreds of Hindus living in mountain villages who had no access to the gospel otherwise.
My heart is so burdened for the unreached and unengaged people groups all over the world, who are just like these Hindus. Jesus has changed my life and my heart! How can I not proclaim His fame!? I deserve nothing but God's wrath, yet Jesus took my wrath on His shoulders in order that my sins would be atoned for & I can live in light of that amazing truth. Because of this, I desire to make God's glory known throughout the earth. I can do nothing except be obedient to share the gospel, and then the Father will change and soften those hearts which He chooses.
This mission trip I took, as well as the training and discipleship beforehand in the program I was enrolled in really sharpened me, teaching me to really examine my faith, making it my own as I was forced to answer for myself the question "Is Jesus worth it?" The answer is YES. Jesus is worth suffering, discomfort, pain, exclusion, persecution, death. Jesus paid the price for my sins; thus, I will make His Name known throughout the nations. I am so grateful for all God has taught me and done in my heart through this program that has grown and tested my faith in Jesus. But ultimately I am most grateful to my Savior and my Lord for His unending mercy, compassion, and love.
