Hi Team!
Hope you are all having a nice week! I have feeling super tired all week and not getting enough sleep but I am glad it's Friday. :)
Anyways, here is my response to the prompt:
1. I want to go on this mission trip because I want to be used by God and grow in my capacity as His vessel. Originally I did not want to go after thinking about how much of a struggle I had last year. The trip felt very draining and it was hard to handle our large classes of boisterous kids. Coming back I found myself having a very burnt out spiritual flame and went through a period of spiritual apathy, the effects of which I am still experiencing today in some ways. So when the original call for mission trip this year went out, I felt strongly against going. However when I prayed about it, I felt like I should go, even though I didn't want to. Then Jun susu sent out an email talking about the legacy of the church and how when we make ourselves available to be used by God even when we are reluctant or do not have the ability, God is still able to use us and greatly bless us and others through us. Eventually after some prodding from my mom and other people I decided to turn in my application and prepare for another summer of being able to do God's work.
2. What I am expecting from this mission trip is God's faithfulness. I feel like I am a very inadequate teacher and I will be working full time over the summer so already I don't feel like I will be able to do a good job of teaching but I expect that God will be faithful and use whatever little we can give Him for His glory. Also, I hope that experiencing Him in this way will help me grow in my spiritual life and deepen my relationship with God.
God bless,
Josh
