I love missions whether it is overseas or local. I have had the opportunity to do both and I believe it is a call and a desire that God has placed in my heart. I have not gone on a short-term mission trip in a long time. I have not been at Riverside for a long time but when I got here I inquired about mission trips and I was told that there was a season a while back when they did them. I started praying that this would happen again. When this opportunity came up I was really excited and saw it was my chance to connect with this part of the call that God has placed in my life.
I have never been to El Salvador, so I don't know what to expect, which makes me really excited because it will be a trip of dependance on the Lord. I am looking forward to connecting with other members of Riverside in a different capacity as we grow together and sharpen each other. I am also looking forward to seeing how ministry is done in El Salvador and learning from the locals. I pray that all we plan to do during this week will impact the people we meet and that God transforms our team in the process. Thank you for reading my story.
