“Looking back on my life before joining the Youth Mission Team, I can clearly see that my life lacked both direction and purpose. When I joined the team things completely changed. Jesus allowed me to experience how joyful serving Him is. I could never have imagined that in giving of myself and emptying myself that I could receive so much in return. Many people have said before, that when you join the Youth Mission Team that you get evangelized. Not only has this been my experience but the Lord has, over three years, been calling me out of myself further still, to lay down my life in complete abandonment to servicing Him and His church. He has filled me with a desire for Him alone.”
