Meet Christy!
Howdy! I’m Christy from Rockville, Virginia. I am a junior studying Secondary Education and Global Studies. After a week trip to Guadalajara, Mexico summer of ‘24, I decided to dedicate an entire summer to serving the Lord living out the great commission.
I praise the Lord for our safe arrival and this wonderful opportunity. Every Bible study brings new faces and stories. It's a joy to hear how God is working through villages as someone may relate to a shared testimony or as they share their personal journeys of faith and growth. Each encounter strengthens our faith and reminds us of the power of community and shared belief.
I had the privilege of leading a Bible study with two wonderful ladies. Back home, I lead a Bible study for middle and high school girls. I had an index card with a lesson plan on it in my Bible that had been driving me crazy because it would get caught in the pages, although for some reason I did not take it out of my Bible. When I was asked to lead a Bible study just five minutes before starting, I knew exactly where to turn—the bent, flappy index card in John 4. We studied John 4:46–54, where Jesus heals an official's son. I encouraged the two Catholic ladies to to read the Bible, to take Jesus at His word, to lean into the promises of God.
Being 12 hours away from home is a bit of a balancing act, but God has blessed me with a fantastic team of sisters in Christ.
Please keep us in your prayers for good health (3 John 1:2) and that we remain bold and confident amidst distractions and under pressure (Acts 4:29).
