Lift Off! Summer Missions - Day 04
Spencer Sun, Austin Quon, Nathan Pun
Dates: July 7 - 15
Location: Hard Rock, Arizona (Navajo Reservation)
Organization: High School Missionary Team of FCBC LA
Spencer:
I will be facilitating the teens class at our annual VBS on the Navajo reservation. As much as I enjoy pushing buttons, God knows how to push mine even better and more uncomfortably.
I am looking forward to reaching out to Matthew’s (the Navajo living with me) family and partnering with a Navajo Christian, Karly Robertson. I am not looking forward to the heat, sleeping on the ground in a tent, and infrequent showers.
Pray for good synergy as Karly works alongside us. Pray also for strength, energy, and reliance upon and sensitivity to the Holy Spirit as I am also teaching Sunday School and directing high school camp.
Nathan:
In Arizona I will be leading a small group of Navajo teens and teaching them about God through the discussions and interactions I have with them. I will also be continuing to build up my previous relationship with the Navajo and showing them the love God has for them. God has led me to this trip through the persuasion of other people going on the trip and several Navajos. I also have a heart for the Navajo, so the push from these people made me decide to go on the trip.
I'm looking forward to see what God has planned for the Navajos, and how He will use me for His will. I'm actually really scared of going even though this is my fifth time because I feel very unprepared since I've been at school and have only video called into 2 meetings.
Pray for a correct mindset since I will have less than a month from the time school ends to the time I leave. Pray for a willing and serving heart. Lastly, pray for wisdom in how to lead by example since the people I am going with are in high school and have less experience than me.
Austin:
I will be joining HSMT team out in Arizona to go & help teach the Navajos about Jesus Christ. But really I’m just their maintenance/handy man. Honestly, I am going because I heard God call and even if it’s a short mission trip you can make an impact on the people around you or it makes greater impact on yourself.
What I look forward to this trip is God teaching me something new. I always learn a good or bad habit that God says how can you use this to better yourself. What I don’t look forward to is the mixed weather, one minute it can be hot next it’s raining.
How you can pray from me is I wouldn’t let my comfort effect my behavior as heat does make me cranky. God will teach me a new way of being a better Christian. After the trip that I be more open to sharing what I learned.
