Did you know that it’s almost PBU’s Global Mission Week? Ever since I was a little kid I loved hearing missionaries speak about their various missions and what it is like to serve God in that particular field. I always found it so exciting to hear all the different stories from the Amazon, Africa, China, urban cities, and the rest of the country and world. There are so many great people who have given their lives to serve God in all of these fields and they have such interesting stories about how God called them and how he is using them. Reading their stories can be such a great reminder and encouragement that God uses us just as we are to do great things for his wonderful purposes.

Recently I just returned on the PBU trip to Kenya over JTerm. What a great experience! It was my first time in Africa and it was nothing like I expected it to be. Funny how God always blows our expectations out of the water, right? It shows just how powerful he is! Have you ever considered taking a mission trip? Maybe it’s something that God is calling you to step out in faith and obedience to do. Need some encouragement? Come to the library and check out our great resources on this topic! There is a small section set up on the magazine stand and more in the stacks in the BV section. Prepare your heart to be challenged this Global Missions Week!
