No Comments on Florida in April: A Journey of Sun, Faith, and Reflection | 2023 Recap 3

After getting to know friends I had met online, I had the opportunity to travel to a state I had never visited before. Let alone flying there—I was terrified of being on an airplane due to my fear of heights.

I challenged myself to overcome that fear and booked a flight to Panama City Beach, Florida. My experience there was phenomenal, and I cherish it to this day. I got to know some friends and experience new adventures. This trip took place in April, allowing me to attend both a Good Friday and an Easter service.

Reflecting on those times, I feel privileged to have met my friends in Florida. Unfortunately, due to my busy schedule and fast-paced life, it has been difficult to maintain long-distance connections.

While I regret taking a step back, I don’t regret meeting my friends. I am grateful for their hospitality and the experiences I gained through this journey. It brings me joy to see how they have grown over the years, and I continue to support them from afar.

In conclusion, this experience allowed me to meet new people, encounter Christ in a different setting, and overcome my fear of flying. I hope my friends continue to grow in their faith and accomplish everything God has called them to do.

No Comments on Christian Life Center Gridley | 2023 Recap 2

I reflect on my relationship with Christian Life Center in Gridley.

When I was a youth director at The Father’s House in Live Oak for eight months, the church needed guest speakers. My church recommended me, and I had the opportunity to preach a few times.

The first time, I preached about the Holy Spirit.

The second time, I preached about pastoral qualities.

The third time, I preached on “Strengthening Our Vital Signs.”

Taking on these opportunities helped me reflect on my preaching and develop a heart for service during a time when the church was in need.

No Comments on My Journey With Mission City Church: 2023 Recap 1

Since it has been a while since I last updated my site, I’ll be posting recaps covering the last two years of my journey.

At the beginning of 2023, my heart was set on serving a local church after my time at Live Oak, which was filled with volunteerism. After that season of mission work, I decided that I wanted to serve somewhere closer to my workplace.

Media Involvement:

It all started when a college friend asked if I was willing to help with media at their church. Since this church was closer to both my home and workplace, I decided to pursue this opportunity. I saw the potential of using media to help bring people closer to where I work and serve.

I officially started serving in media at Mission City Church around March 2023. I consistently worked during first services since my work schedule prevented me from attending second services. This commitment has continued over the past several months.

Youth Involvement:

After a few months, I felt stirred to serve in youth ministry. From October to December, I visited and reflected on whether this was a commitment I was willing to make. Given my background in youth ministry, my goal has always been to empower students and equip them for the gospel. This motivation led me to actively engage with the youth ministry.
