Go!
You’ll move to your new location and jump into language learning and cultural adjusting, getting to know your new city and ministry context, and start working with local staff and students to share the message of Jesus Christ!
"To enter a culture that is totally foreign brings the practice of “childlike faith” to a whole different level. I am learning how to see, trust, and follow the Holy Spirit in new, deeper ways."
