My letter to future Goers
As I reflect on my two years in Berlin, I am blown away by God's provision and how much my life has changed! Below are some photos that show the journey. :) The day I arrived in Berlin: October 10, 2022. I was so thankful to have people who picked me up at the airport and help me carry all my luggage. It was an emotional time, and the transition to life across the ocean and away from my family was harder than expected at first. … Read moreMy letter to future goers
Dear Future Goer, I’ve been praying for you. The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. I’ve been praying to the Lord of the harvest to send us more laborers, so I rejoice that he answered by sending you! I’ve been at my placement for nearly 3 years now – I decided to stay beyond my initial 2-year commitment. I’ve learned A LOT the past 3 years, so I’ll just share some highlights: The Lord is able and willing to provide for ALL of your needs. I know support raising sounds like the worst, but it’s actually such a beautiful way to see the Lord provide for ministers of the gospel… Read more
My Advice To A Future Goer
It all began with a simple meeting over coffee. I never thought much about it and honestly doubted that the Lord would send me. But it was when I simply put my yes forward, that God could direct me to where I am now. For the past two years, I have lived in Bucharest, Romania. I have been working with international college students. My students come from all over the world. Many of them are from countries that I never knew about before. It has been a blessing to be able to work with them for the past two years. Becoming a Goer has been one of the best decisions I have ever made.… Read moreDefy Fear
I’m so freaking scared. How many times have I written that sentence in my journal over the last year? How many times before I traveled to the Czech Republic alone for a vision trip? How many times after I said yes to moving there for two years? How many times as I’ve done trainings? How many bazillion times as I’ve been fundraising? I’ve written it too many times to bother counting, and it was true every time. You wouldn’t expect God to send someone who’s struggled with anxiety for twenty years onto the mission field. Or at least, I didn’t expect it. … Read more
My Letter to Future Goers: Reflections from the Balkans
When I first arrived in Bulgaria, I knew that the 2 years would be fun and exciting but also challenging and difficult. I’m still processing my time there but overall here are just some of my thoughts and small bits of advice. Just like everyone else in life, there were seasons of highs and lows - however, being on a specific team with the same goals and desires to serve and minister to Bulgaria was one of the most grounding aspects of my time overseas in missions. Much of my struggles came from either miscommunication or misaligned expectations. Try to do your best to eliminate both of these… Read more
Why go?
Two years ago I left the US nervous and excited for a new adventure as a recent grad. I felt unsure in my skills and honestly shocked that the Father had opened doors for me to do work I had only dreamed of. Teaching English and helping students grow for the past two years has been a joy and blessing beyond what I could have expected. I have grown in my walk with the Father, grown as a professional, and feel so much more capable and confident to navigate life - all because of the Father and the people he placed around me in my time with GoCorps. Building relationships and loving… Read more
