Experience Mission Blog

Over the past 8 weeks, I have taken on the role as daughter, teammate, sou chef, sister, domino champion, tree climber, chicken picker, bingo caller, waterfall chaser, 'futbol' fan, and hairdresser....

Through this journey, I have tended to keep God within my own limitations. If I can’t do something, God can’t do it either. If I can’t fix it, God can’t fix it either. Yet every time, God continues to prove to me He has no limits.

We are not made for comfort, my friends. We are made to be challenged, to grow, to learn, to face those things that make us restless. In being physically distant from the people I love, I am learning to be much more intentional in the opportunities I do have to talk with them.

Somehow it took traveling all around the Caribbean to get me to understand God's plan for me.

Three current male team members share the things their trip has allowed them to do outside of the traditional view of mission trips and why more guys should pursue joining an IMMERSION program.

The past two weeks God has been challenging me to drive on the wrong side of the road of life.

We have found a love here that is loud. A love that is wild. A love that is big. We found another purpose for our time in Jamaica: to be a reflection of God’s love.

We are the same; we are different. And while I do not understand it at all, I am learning that God did not create us to understand why we were created the way that we were. He created us to serve and love Him.

I don’t need to wait for Him to show up. He is already here with me. Just as He is with you.

We all jumped into the trip with a blind YES, trusting that God would make good on his plans for us...and guess what? He did.
