Introduction!

Posted on Tuesday, June 12, 2018

       Hello friends, family, and all others! If you haven’t known already about me leaving to Mexico for missions for two years then you will be hearing a lot more about it in the coming months. This desire has been burning in my heart for years and years and the timing of it has blossomed in the past few months through different confirmations and leadings from God. I’m excited to be blogging. I’ve always enjoyed writing and I will be sending updates through my blog and monthly newsletter on experiences and thoughts/devotions as I prepare to go and also while I’m in Mexico.

              I’m excited to be working with United World Mission (uwm.org) and Avance Mexico (http://www.avancemexico.org). Both of these organizations put a strong emphasis on focusing on relationship and incarnational living through the local church. Avance started in 1971, they mobilize and equip young adults like myself to serve in Mexico City where they are based out of. Through Avance, I will be living with a Mexican host family during my time who attend the local church in that area. It’s with that same church where I will be serving next to local Mexican leadership in helping to reach the 20 million people in Mexico City who have no personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

              If you’ve never heard of Gocorps they are an on-ramp to get into mid-term missions placement. They are wonderful. You can think of them like a recruiting agency but they also help to train their missionaries in how to support raise. They have a week-long training time that is very, very helpful in understanding cross-cultural missions support raising. Goweek happened this year on May 28- June 2nd. I met two other Goers who will be going to Mexico with me on the team. It’s been great getting to know them and building relationships with other Goers too. It feels like we are just a big family. I feel excited to enter into this journey that God has called me to and I’m so glad that you also get to play a role in what God is doing in a different part of the world!
