My classes at MACU are becoming to be interesting. I'm learning more and more about the missions feild and how to deal with other cultures and I get excited to feel it. To experience the difference in another culture excites me and I'm super ready to get out there.

Although I'm excited to venture out and bring people the truth I know that in the small city there is much to be done. This is where I start my mission, this place right here in my grasp. I can't go out on a mission without first realizing there is more here too. It's kinda like looking at everyone elses "faults" and not noticing your own, but I am aware of the urgent need here as well.

Most people in the U.S. have heard the name Jesus Christ and maybe they think he's a fluke or a story character with good morals. This is the hardest mission of them all, going to people who have heard of this man and his good works and still have yet to believe he is a real Holy being. These are the skeptics who challenge you at everything you say and we must be ready to answer, we gotta know our stuff.

Missions classes are helping me realize that YES this is what I want to do, I want to get dirty and gross. I want to use the bathroom in a hole, I want to eat the food, travel as they do even if it's by foot only. Let me be sent! All of this for the glory of God? Yes please. That is my prayer, the famous saying, here I am God, send me!

Peace.
