Meet D.D.!
Hello! I am from Southwest Missouri. I wanted to spend my summer serving the Lord and sharing the gospel! The Lord led me to a cross cultural and agricultural context!
I have seen God’s heart in many of our national partners. A moment that sticks out to me is the passion and love of God through our national supervisor. He was translating for one of our teammates and the Bible was brought up. A physical Bible was handed to him and he began to passionately explain parts of the Bible. It was as if he would have given anything for this family to receive and follow Jesus.
I’ve realized while being away from my normal routine that I have pridefully relied a lot on my own independence rather than asking for help from the body of Christ.
The hardest thing to leave behind will be the hospitality and servanthood of the Filipino culture. Going home will be hard because the American culture’s focus is ME. I love the servant hood and selflessness of the Filipino culture.
Please pray for discernment for future long term work in the cross cultural context.
