MFUGE: Stand up to the challenge

This week at Mission First, I was part of the recreation group of MFuge at Mission First. It has been a great experience. I can tell the staff loves what they do, because they work very hard to provide the youth with a place to have fun, but to also learn about Christ while they interact with each other. The coaches are very devoted to their job and work really hard.

I personally wish I had a little more time here to spend because I can really see that the youth appreciate us being here, and that our work really makes a difference. Mission First is a great place to serve with. I hope Mission First continues to grow and build for many years to come. I hope that everyone across the city gets a chance to experience it!

One thing I have learned this week is to take what God gives you and do your best for the good of everyone around you. No matter what happens, God will stand with you so you can stand up to the challenge!
