Short term missions has opened my eyes to the world around me. My world expanded from my hometown family and friends to a vibrant place full of cultures and people that God loves and that I get the privilege to share this love with.
On a trip to Mexico I had the privilege of helping to build a very modest house for a family of 6. When we arrived, the daughter of the family was wearing a shirt that said ‘God answers prayer.’ She spoke only english so I had the translator tell her what her shirt said. She looked at me and then at the team that was there to build her family a home and tears of joy streamed down her face. What a joy to be an answer to prayer!
