Wow. I seriously cannot put into words how amazing this week at Mission First has been! I’ve learned so much from being here this short amount of time. When my Bible study leader, Nick, told us about each of the kids, I could tell that he was completely in love with them. Of course, I was super excited to meet all of them. Since I was involved in the Children’s Ministry track with M-Fuge, we set up VBS-type activities which included: Bible study, crafts, music, and play time. Each day I did something different and I seriously cannot tell you how much fun I’ve had.
Yes, I am definitely worn out by the end of the day. But I wouldn’t have chosen to spend my week here doing anything else. Coming in everyday and being greeted with so many smiles and hugs pretty much made my day. God has taught me so much through my experiences here at Mission First and I’m going to miss spending time with the kids here.
Mission First really is one huge example of how God provides in any situation. The love the kids are shown here amazes me. I hope that God will use me just as he has used Mission First, in such a big and effective way. Leaving on my last day is going to be incredibly difficult and very sad. But, I hope to visit again and see what else God will do in the children’s lives through Mission First. I am so blessed to have had such a wonderful experience here and I will never forget how God used Mission First and the children to impact my life in such a huge way.
