"One of the first things I learned from the Bible was the Great Commission, but at that time I wasn't a believer. I didn't come to faith until two years later. Two guys named Lamar and Darius, who I would see occasionally on campus, would pray for me and talk to me about the Gospel. When I came to faith, sharing the Gospel became something I was passionate about because of the impact it had on my life. This encouraged me to go on a mission trip to Guatemala where I hoped that God could use me in order to show others the love and care we receive from our heavenly Father.

While on the mission field, I experienced a fire burning in my heart for the people of Guatemala. For so long I had prayed to God to use me wherever he had me and to allow me to grow in places that I'm not comfortable. Even though I'm bilingual, I still struggle speaking Spanish and stutter on my words. But during that trip, God took a fear that I had and used it to proclaim His name and His glory to the people I spoke to. At the end of the day, I looked back and saw everything that I said actually came from God and not me. It was wonderful to just be where God was working. It was an answered prayer.

To anyone wanting to go on a short term mission trip, the only thing I would say is just do it! There are a lot of people who think they need to be perfect at something but the truth is that all you have to be is willing and able and the Lord will use you no matter where you are in life. Matthew 17:20 shows us a great example: 'even with faith as small as a mustard seed, you can move mountains.' It has nothing to do with us or our faith but everything to do with how great our God is."
