We were asked to write a blog about how we were called to the mission field. Here is my story…
I was raised in the Christian and Missionary Alliance Denomination so I grew up being fed missions over and over. Right before my senior year of high school I received a call to missions at Life 2001, a youth conference for the CMA. In the years that followed I struggled to understand exactly what that calling meant. Then during this past fall as I was growing deeper in my walk with God, I started sensing my calling back towards missions and in service to God. It started out slowly with a girl’s retreat weekend I put hosted for my friends (we go to a rather large church that doesn’t put things like that together for us), then I decided to go to New Orleans with my church to help rebuild houses with Habitat for Humanity and work with kids through VBS. Then one day as I was reading an article on Relevant Magazines website, someone had made a comment about how they had gone on the World Race and put a link to the site. My first initial thought was, I wish I could do something like this. Then I realized I could do something like this. After consulting my parents, some close friends, and praying about it I decided to apply and the rest is history……
