Greetings, and welcome to "Adventures in Mexico!" Maybe the first adventure is trying to figure out this whole blog thing, so please bear with me. I plan on blogging once a week with reflections and updates on my experiences in the big city.
I guess if you're reading this then we're off to a good start! Actually, it's still 5 days before I leave on a jet plane (don't worry, I know when I'm coming back) and it's been an incredible journey already!
I'd like to begin by thanking each person who has contributed to this trip with prayer, encouragement, time, energy, and financial gifts. The level of support I have received has been nothing short of amazing, and I am humbled by it. I feel so loved!
My path to this experience has been unfolding for years now. It was about 10 years ago that I first sensed a call to missions and especially to the destitute places of the world. The Psalmist cried out to God:
"May the nations be glad and sing for joy,
for you rule the peoples justly
and guide the nations of the earth."Gladness and joyful singing...what a contrast to the tragic picture we see of so many nations today! I whole-heartedly believe that as the seeds of the Gospel of Christ take root among the nations of the earth, the fruit of gladness and joyful singing will be bountiful!
This belief has lead me to pursue an education in cross-cultural ministry at New Hope Christian College. Pending completion of this internship I will graduate in May (an event you all are invited to attend) and will be open to the guidance of the Lord in how to use my education to plant those seeds.
Thank you for being a part of this journey, and stay tuned for more!
