FAVORITE STORY

Early in my faith journey, I went on my first short term mission trip to the Lakota Sioux Rez in South Dakota, and God broke my heart into so many pieces. Some were joyful memories like working with the youth on a puppet skit, while others were painful like seeing the infected blisters on some of the kid’s faces. However, every pair of eyes that I looked into, I saw the hope of Jesus. I encountered God in such a dynamic, beautiful, and broken way. It’s a memory that I will always treasure and what fuels me as I lead short term mission trips. I’d love to see every person who goes on a short term trip encounter God in a life-changing way too!
