I knew I wanted to do something but I didn’t know what that something would be. After looking around on a bunch of different websites and contacting a lot of different ministries I was faced with-well is this just not what I’m supposed to be doing right now or is there just something I haven’t found yet?
I was very fearful about this whole decision of the race at first. Everyone seemed to be more on board with it than I was at the time. People kept affirming to me how this was going to be an awesome experience and how much I would change and how much I would grow. I think one reason I am so excited about it now is because everyone was so excited for me in the beginning.
At first I was just like well ok I guess Ill go on this world win excursion…but as it slowly becomes more and more reality, it has become more and more of a need. I need to know what it is like in a refuge camp. I need to know what it is like for the women who were displaced from their family and forced into sex trafficking. I need to know what it is like for the children in the orphanage that has never experienced the love of anyone, let alone a parent. I need to see God move in these cultures and I want to be apart of it.
