MFUGE: A seed planted two years ago has grown and multiplied!

This past week at Mission First has been one of the most loving and most unbelievable experiences for me! This was not my first time at Mission First. I had the opportunity to serve here two years ago. At that time, I was searching for a way God could use me and my life. I didn’t know what my gifts and talents were, and if I really had any. But, the impact the students had on my life was simply amazing. I thought I was here to teach them, but God proved me wrong. While I was here Coach Bridges said something to me that I will never forget. He said, “nothing is impossible with God.” I asked him, “Where is that in the Bible?” He replied, “Luke 1:37.” This small word told me that getting plugged into God’s work WAS possible for me. The love of God showed up in me as I served.

This year, I will be going on my first overseas trip, and I got to serve again at Mission First where I had the chance to tell my story. I hope they have been able to see the light of God in my life. I want to thank Mission First for planting the seed in ME!
