Explore panel: 'What role did your church play in your journey?'
Vision, training, and encouragement
Discipleship and ministry experience
Short-term opportunities and connection
A trip with my church in high school to serve the homeless sparked my desire for global work. As I grew older, and God revealed more of my passions, the church was there as a support system. We had a monthly group for those interested in missions. This group had a wide variety of people, ranging from those who love to pray for missionaries to retired missionaries to those just starting to consider missionary service to those who had raised their funds and were packing their boxes!
