I also do ministry with my church, Life in Christ Mennonite, or my family. This includes singing in the train station, prayer walking through our community, helping out with Kids Club and VBS, passing out tracts, or handing out free water bottles to high schoolers. Kid’ s Club is definitely one of my favorite forms of outreach. I have always enjoyed working with children, and I love all the different nationalities represented at our Kid’ s Club. I also teach Sunday School for the four to six-year-olds at our church, which I love, because it gives me a fresh perspective on“ common” Bible stories. Jesus had a heart for children, and I want to see them the way He did.
But I also enjoy hanging out with people my own age. Krissy King, one of the ladies from our church hosts a Bible study for teen girls, and I love it! Usually, there are about seven to ten girls, and we make crafts or pizza, have a Bible study, and just hang out and have fun. It can get pretty crazy at times, but it’ s awesome!
Except for three short years in Virginia, I have always lived on the mission field. The first nine years of my life were in Grenada, and the last four and a half in New York. Growing up, I have always realized the need for missions. Every day, I see dozens of people who do not believe in Jesus Christ as the Son of God, and I want to reach out to them and share the good news. I also want to tell Christians about the billions of unsaved people, and get them excited about missions. I highly recommend missions to everyone. It’ s not always easy, but the eternal benefits outweigh everything else!
So, that is my life! As for the future, I do not have any specific plans after graduation this spring. I want to glorify God and tell others about His Son, Jesus Christ. I honestly do not know how He is planning to work that into my life, but I’ m trusting Him. He will show me His will in His time.
