After spending a few days in the Missionary Training Center (MTC), I want to express my heartfelt appreciation to all who have supported my family over the years—especially more recently—as I have sought to answer the call to become a fisher of men. (Matthew 4:18-20)
These past few days have been incredible. I have witnessed God’s hand in the intimate details of my life. Again and again, I have been reminded of Heavenly Father’s love for me—especially through the testimonies, tears and experiences shared by fellow missionaries. Together, we have felt the comfort, joy and peace that come from striving to live Christ-centered lives. Although we have shared stories of individual struggles, it’s these experiences which have instilled a deep desire to invite all of God’s children to ponder the profound question found in Matthew 22:42:
“What think ye of Christ?”
May we be able to answer, as Simon Peter did, both with our words and our lives: “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
It is my sincere hope and desire to be a useful instrument in the Lord’s hands—to share the joy, healing, and blessings that come through developing a personal relationship with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.
One rite of passage for missionaries entering the MTC is pointing to our assigned area on the map. I am honored and excited to serve in Pretoria, South Africa.
