I was called to be in the mission field when I was 15 years old. I got the chance to go to Peru with World Vision and have wanted to go back to help people ever since. I have always been involved in helping people but the desire to go away from home to help them really took place 7 years ago. I graduated college with a degree in religion hoping that it would lead me to do great things. Up until I was accepted to the World Race it had not done much of anything except make me think working in the church was NOT the place for me. So I ventured off to Seminary and was instantly displeased with my surroundings. Everyone there was under the assumption that they were right and everyone else was wrong. I believe that everyone had a little bit of the truth and no one has the entire truth. The story of Babel should be a reminder to everyone that God does not want everyone to hold power of correctness. The correctness is spread among the people.
I look forward to going on this mission for many reasons. I have a lot of questions about faith (blind faith to be more exact) and I am excited to see this kind of faith in action. I also love to work with children. Teaching is my passion and this mission is exactly the right fit for me in that area. I also wanted to do something that I would not normally get the chance to do. I am proving to others that people my ago DO care about others in the world.
I can’t wait to get started!
