MFUGE: Love is what the world needs

My week at Mission First was absolutely awesome! It was my very first year participating in M-FUGE, and I am so glad that I did. When we were choosing tracks, my first choice was children, then games and recreation, then social. My plan was to be in the children’s track, but God had other plans. I was a little upset until my friend Bradley told me that God had me where He wanted me.

The first day we had the opportunity to meet the student that we would be partnered with for the week. My partner’s name was Jasmine. She is 11 and is going into the sixth grade. We had a great time getting to know each other and sharing about what was going on in our lives. I truly have grown to love all of the students here.

Through my time at Mission First, we learned a lot about teamwork and caring for each other. All of us are very competitive, but it was so much fun. I pray that God continues to provide for this organization, because they are giving this city what everyone needs most – LOVE.
