About Me!

 

Let me start off by simply saying, THANK YOU! Thank you for taking the time to get to know me more, hearing a little bit about what God’s been doing in my life and most of all, thank you for becoming a part of my journey! 

 My name is Jeorgianna, but mostly everyone calls me Jeorgi. I am 21 years old at this time and I have been loving this season of life. My community of friends and family fill my days with joy by grabbing coffee, hammocking in random places, and eating lots and lots of food together. Recently I’ve discovered a love for psychology and the human mind, so naturally, I’ve pinned down my Myersbirgg personality, let alone every personality test out there, which by the way, I am an ESFP 100%. I love to encourage, advise, relate, and make people laugh:) I thrive on experiences and spontaneous adventures (in the best ways). I have lived in the same town of Reading, Pennsylvania my entire life with my parents, four siblings (I am the youngest) and my bundle-of-joy nieces and nephews. And although I’ve grown to love it here….I am so excited to venture out into the World!

 I’m a verbal processor to the extreme, I love to journal and use words to inspire others. I admire all kinds of arts and creatives and I think sunsets are the most amazing creations that God himself makes everyday. I love to sing on stage, in a cafes, in the car, around a fire, you name it, but I especially love to sing for Jesus. I absolutely love to cook and I strongly believe recipe books are rules that are meant to be broken. Overall my heart longs for a constant out pouring of ministry in all I do (Even cooking!)

 After years of being in an awesome Youth group,  I eventually had the absolute honor to then serve in our youth ministry for 2 years now. And let me tell you, GOD IS SO GOOD. Along side of some really cool leaders, He has grown my heart for Him and His people. In these past few years His calling for me to serve the community and the world has never been greater. I don’t know specifically what God is calling me into, but I do know he has given me a heart and the ability to know people. To know who they are by understanding their personality, experiences, and gifts that make them unique and to lead them into a deeper relationship with God by speaking truth and guiding them to understand their worth in Jesus Christ. Over the years some could say my family has gone through more hard times than good, but God has redeemed so much heartache into testimony, reflecting His grace and unconditional love over all situations. He has shown me personally, in all things we can find Joy in his presence (like the kind where you’re crying out your nose, yet laughing because you don’t know how to handle yourself being so joyful) Yeah… thats happened a few times. Feeling an overwhelming joy caused by an overwhelming love from our Heavenly Father. I want nothing more than to use my testimony to help others find purpose and healing in Jesus.

 I want to state this: I live for Jesus because even when I was a sinner he died for me and called me His friend. Because God is the best Dad I could ever even dream of having, and He knows my every need. And Because the Holy Spirit has never failed to show me His extraordinary powers and fill me with words and actions only He can provide. 

Which leads me to the World Race…

I will be going to:

I will be traveling to 11 different countries in 11 months with my team to serve along side of missionaries and ministries from all over the world. I will be abandoning all of my possessions and living out of a (up to) 50lb backpack filled with only necessities in exchange for an understanding of how to serve the kingdom and grow into a deeper faith and trust with God. I have the opportunity to be reaching out to people in areas of heavy sex trafficking/those who have been trafficked, orphans and widows, unreached(have not heard the name of Jesus), Prisoners, the unnourished and many more.

 This past summer I was told by a Missionary in Haiti, “It wasn’t my skills and talents that made it possible for God to use me, it was my faithfulness… You can’t steer a car that isn’t moving, right? So, don’t wait around, do as he commands and go. The Lord will direct you where he wants you to be, but you have to step out in faith.”

 So that is why I am going. Because I don’t know exactly where the Lord is leading me in my future, I don’t know what career path he wants me to take yet, or the group of people he may set upon my heart to serve. But I do know, he has commanded “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (Matthew 28:19-20) I didn’t start this journey knowing I wanted to go on the World Race, but that is where the Lord has lead me, and I cannot wait to spend a year serving the Kingdom by being the hands and feet of Jesus and growing a deeper relationship with my Heavenly Father.

 But I want to get real with you, as on “fire for Jesus” as I say I am, and wish I always would be…I am so human it’s a frustrating. So here is where I ask for some prayer!

-Saying “yes” to leaving the country for a year is hard. There are so many distractions and ways to just put things off or doubt Gods plan for my life, so please pray for a persistent heart that keeps going month after month, now until I am back. A heart that is obedient and willing to say “yes” over and over to Him.

-Trusting that God will make a way. In this processes there is a lot of trusting that needs to take place, it’s easy for me to try and take things into my own hands, but the Lord is the one who provides, please pray I am constantly reminded of His goodness. 

-I am fearfully and wonderfully made (along with every team member I have). I have already struggled with being envious of the talents and strong characters in my group thus far. YET, Christ placed each one of us on this Rout for a reason, please pray I continue to solidify my Identity in Christ alone and to confidently walk out my faith according to how he made me. 

-Pray for prayer! The Lord will make a way, but I need and want as many people praying for myself, my team, this missions trip, the fundraising, the traveling, the ministries, the missionaries…etc! I believe full heartedly, PRAYER IS POWERFUL and the LORD IS ACTIVE!
