CGA, The Center for Global Action. What is this?
Something I feel called to do.
First off, in Guatemala I had these dreams that I was home with my family and friends but I was trying to stay on the down low because I wasn’t going to be home for long. At the time I thought that meant that God was calling me to be an alumni team leader and go back on the field for 3 more months to help another team on another squad start their race off well. However, I never really felt like that was what God had for me. Sure that thought made me nervous because I don’t feel equipped for that but God doesn’t call the equipped, He equips the called. Anyway, alumni team leading wasn’t on my table, and I knew that in my heart, but was I confused about the dreams. I had 3 dreams about not being home for long. With my faith in God, I knew He would show me the meaning of those dreams; I just let them go till He brought the reason or whatever He had for me.
CGA’s mission is that they exist to disciple a generation of believers to become leaders who establish Kingdom. They take 5 months to develop you as a leader and to be transformed by the Father’s heart. They will equip you with the tools to lead wherever you land. You will learn to listen and obey God wholeheartedly and establish Kingdom.
Something I know God has for me in my future is leadership. I still have no idea what that really looks like yet, but I know God’s voice and I trust His plan and perfect timing. Hearing about CGA made me pause in my tracks of thinking of my future. You see, I thought I had somewhat figured out what life would look like for me when I get home. I recently have grown a desire to take a Bible class or minor in Bible so that I can talk
about Jesus in any conversation with anyone.
For me, all that is more direction than I have ever had for life. Before I left home in September, I had no idea at all what I wanted to study, where I wanted to live, or how I would handle life without my parents. (not that I would have to be on my own right away. heading that way is good) After a few weeks of hearing about CGA, I was going through all my scrap paper in my journal, taping and gluing down some things so that I could look back at those things later in life. The flyer for CGA that I kept was in there. When I saw the flyer again I didn’t think much of it, I had dismissed it in my head because it wasn’t what I thought I needed or wanted originally. However, my good friend Chelsey Wiers, saw this flyer and asked if I was considering doing CGA. Without even realizing what I said, I told her I was praying about it. I wasn’t actively praying about it so I’m not sure why I told her I was. It’s like God was telling me that I need to be. But after that moment I started thinking about it again and then I talked with her about it one day at lunch and God had really laid this thing on my heart. I started getting super excited like I do when I know something is from God. I don’t typically get super passionate about things without God. After our talk I started telling people I was doing this thing. It began to be an overwhelming, exciting thing I have to look forward to for after the race.
Life with God is like riding a roller coaster blind. You have no idea when the next turn, hill, or upside down loop is, but you know that there is track. You also know that there are loops, hills, and turns. This is the blindfolded, trusting turn in my life. Thanks God!
I’m very excited for this experience and chance to learn more about myself and God. I’m excited to really practice living missionally. If I don’t come out of all of this changed, what was the point? I started the race praying for clarity about my future and here it is. God knows exactly what I need; 5 months of intense training on leadership and living missionally.
