As I look forward to our much anticipated departure to Cape Town, South Africa, I’ve begun to ponder the adventure the Lord has in store for us. In many respects, I have absolutely no idea what to expect. I have never been on a mission trip nor have I been to Africa. But one thing I do know for sure, is that God has something extraordinary planned for each of us. While listening to everyone’s testimony during our time in the mountains, it occurred to me that God has brought each of us to a point where we could serve. None of us had perfect parents, we’ve suffered from our own poor decision making and all of us have experienced disappointments. But despite these things, God showed us His favor upon us and decided to use very broken people in His incredible story. Just a few years ago, I would have never dreamt that I’d be going to South Africa on a mission trip. Back then, my life was far from God and I was incapable of serving anyone other than myself. For me, being on this GlobalX team is proof that God is faithful and that He will never leave me no matter what condition I am in. And it is for this reason the following verse has brought me incredible joy: Psalm 91:1“He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.”
