A couple of weeks ago, I had the privilege of heading down to beautiful Pensacola, FL for intern orientation with my missions organization, Globe International. I’m going to be honest when I say I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect. You’d think I’d be past the point of trying to have expectations, but I’m not! I actually wasn’t even that excited about it. I felt like it was one more thing I had to go get done before I could leave. But God had other plans regarding this time, THANKFULLY!
Pretty much as soon as I stepped into Globe, I felt at home. The staff and other interns were warm and inviting. All the feelings I had been having to hurry this thing along melted away. I got to share life with some truly encouraging women and men of God, who were all there for the same purpose - to make God’s name known and glorified throughout the nations. I feel so blessed that God has given me this wonderful family to be a part of as I serve Him in Mozambique. The three days I spent there felt more like three weeks, but as soon as it was over and I was gone I missed everyone dearly.
The thing that I loved about Globe is their heart to support, encourage, and equip you to serve wherever the Lord has called you. They have missionaries all over the world doing a variety of ministries. Just at our intern orientation, we had a couple going to work at an orphanage in Nicaragua, a lady who had begun her own child sponsorship program for youth in Honduras, a guy who was working at a surf ministry in San Diego, another woman who had no idea where God was going to lead her, and me going to Mozambique to work with Mozambican youth! As you can see, it doesn’t matter what our ministry looked like or even where we were serving, Globe was there, ready to do what it takes to get us to the field.
God is so good! I love to see Him at work in every detail of my life. He cares even about the smallest things. I am so blessed and thankful for my encouraging, life-giving time at intern orientation and am excited that I get to partner with these wonderful people throughout my ministry!!
Also, online giving was set up while I was there, for those of you who wanted to give but were waiting for that!
You can give a one-time gift or set up monthly giving if you so desire! Thank you so much for your prayers, support, and encouragement! I couldn’t do this if it weren’t for spectacular people such as you!
