I am so grateful to have been a part of the urban mission trip. In the past, I have done only a few outreach programs, none of which involved interacting with the people we were serving. I wasn’t sure what to expect. If anything, I was expecting sad and tired people, who were closed off and distant. However, I was met with some of the happiest people ever. Two people that really stuck with me were Ron and minister Morris. They were so open and kind, and were excited for what the future and god were bringing them.
Additionally, the kids we met were so playful and loved spending time with us. They were just like we were at that age. Personally seeing what impact my work would have through light of life was inspiring. If I ever had the chance to do this trip again, or any other mission trip, I would gladly say yes.
