Missions Information
July 3 - 10
Location: Hard Rock, AZ
Organization: First Chinese Baptist Church LA, High School Missionary Team (HSMT)
This year, I get to be a handyman to support the High School Missionary Team during a week of VBS at the Navajo Reservation in Arizona. This work requires that I help setup and support various structures (like showers, sink, and tents) throughout the week in order to let the ministry team run smoothly without much hiccups. I will also try to be as flexible as possible which may include helping in any VBS class or babysitting.
I decided to go to Arizona this year because I wasn't able to go to a previous missions trip earlier this year. This trip also fit my summer schedule well as I prayed and felt God calling me back. But during the time to prepare to go, it was brought up that I was mentally telling myself not to go, but I knew spiritually that I should go.
From being a high schooler to now becoming a staff I foresee that I may face many difficulties that might be challenging. Please pray for wisdom to be able to work with the team to solve any issues that may come up--even when I myself have trouble finding a solution. Pray also that I would be physically, mentally, & spiritually ready.
