“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” -Joshua 1:9
They say all good things come to an end. For me, going on mission to Trinidad was one last hurrah. I was prepared to serve with joy, love those I would encounter and once again leave my comfort zone.
As my tenure as an MV is coming to a close, I wanted to give this mission trip my all. Truth is, the Lord is not done with me yet. The joy I find in mission is undeniable and I will continue to serve and give my time to the Lord when He calls.

Being immersed for close to three weeks, not only allowed me to witness Christ to others, but draw the parallels and similarities from our perspective areas. We all share a common bond whether we are SFCs from the same area, region, country or international. We were all ready to serve, give our best and share our experiences.
If I had to pick one moment, it was attending 11pm first Friday Eucharistic adoration with local SFCS at the downtown Cathedral. I realized although we are countries apart, we share the same struggles and concerns as community leaders but also the same devotions and joy in mission.
I am truly grateful for the mission volunteer program that has helped me grow spiritually, emotionally and in my service. To be given the opportunity to expand my borders further than I ever dreamed and has truly led me to meeting Christ in others.
