My Story

There comes a point in everyone’s life when they ask themselves, “Who will I become?” For me, that has been an underlying question for the last few years. Everyone grows up with big dreams for their future, but honestly, looking back I can't even remember what I wanted to be. Flash forward a few years, I graduated from Dordt College in 2017. I knew I didn't want a mundane job just to pay the bills. I wanted to serve God, doing something meaningful that was far greater than myself. For the last 2 years I have been working for a ministry called LifeLight and it has been a great experience for me! But after a while, I have become restless. A kind of restless that can only be calmed by following God's will!

In January of 2019, I attend the CROSS Conference where I was challenged with the idea of missions. Never had I thought about going into missions; Never had I thought that I would even entertain the idea...Funny how life works, because here I am, a few months later, raising money to go on a 6-month mission trip to poverty stricken areas through Experience Mission (EM).

During this trip, I will experience everything from the bustling city to the edge of the rainforest in three radically different cultures: Haiti, Belize, and Costa Rica. Throughout the program, I will interact with EM international staff, local ministries, and community leaders, asking questions like: “How do I live my everyday life on mission?” and “How do I discover my purpose?” Every day/week looks different, so I must be ready to serve where needed most: teaching English, organizing kids’ programs, working on the farm, joining local church outreach initiatives, etc.

There are only three responses to missions: Go, Send, or Disobey. It is time for me to listen to God and Go. I don't know what He has in store for me after this trip, whether that be a lifetime of missions, or not; only time will tell. I just know that it is time for me to answer God's call, take a leap of faith, and trust that He will be with me along the way.

True, total dependence on God is something I have been struggling with lately and this trip will teach me just that. I will spend six months immersed in a culture that is entirely different than my own. Away from family, friends, and loved ones; away from familiarity. Please pray for me, the ministry I will have in the third world countries, and the work God will do in my life during my time there! If you have questions or are interested in hearing more about my trip you can email me at b.mead94@yahoo.com and I would love to set up a time to meet-up/chat with you!

“God is going to do a great thing, therefore let us attempt a great thing.” – William Carey
