I am having a great time here in Poland. I love being here. It’s feels like home. The best thing about this trip is community. I love seeing how our team is growing and serving the students through the gospel. The opportunity to serve with other Christians around the world is a great privilege.
On this trip, I got to teach a fashion workshop. I have 30 students in my class. The students are eager to learn. They are learning how to hand sew, use the sewing machine, and render fashion drawings. This Friday we are having a fashion show and a gallery to showcase the student’s work. It’s so cool to see their eyes light up everytime they accomplish something. Each student is modeling their garment down the runway. The show is going to be great. I can’t wait to see the students final work. I am happy that I get to share this gift with others. It took me a while to figure how to serve others. Most of serving on a mission for Jesus is spending time with people. That is what really matters. The gift is how you express it.
The cool thing about serving alongside Christians around the world is a glimpse of what heaven is going to be. Being here is to show the love of Christ. This experience has really impacted me as a believer. Sometime you think that you are going to impact people through serving but at the end of it, the person who is serving is one that is being impacted.
Hopefully next summer I can come back for the whole summer. I am passionate about the gospel. I am learning so much about my self and how to serve God with my gifts. Thank Compassion Christian Church for partnering with global partners and being on mission to serve Jesus.
