Since I am going to the mission field, i suppose it would be a good idea to post about something missions related. So I have decided to talk about my past experiences with the mission field.
I have been on two foreign mission trips. One to Ecuador in 2007 and one in the Canary Islands, Spain.. otherwise know as my future home.
My mission trip to Ecuador was one of the best experiences of my life. That is where I met Tyler Ingram. Tyler taught me almost everything I know about music and he is one of my best friends! Anyways.. Ecuador was my first experience overseas and also my first experience with missions. I don't know what my life would be like now if I hadn't taken that trip. And there was also some exciting things that happened that weren't missions related. Like going up to the yop of a mountain and jumping off a bridge into a river somewhere in the jungle. All-in-all it was one of the greatest experiences of my life.
My mission trip to the Canary Islands sparked something in my family's lives that would change our lives completely. It started out like every other year. My dad planned the trip, we raised the money, and headed out to a foreign country with the soul purpose of leading people to the Lord and spreading the gospel. But God had other plans. Sure we spread the gospel and a lot of people accepted Jesus Christ as their savior (praise the Lord!), but God spoke to my dad while we were there and called him, and my family, to be missionaries to the Canary Islands. Ever since then we have been going through the grueling, yet somewhat necessary process of going to the mission field. Part of that process is going to Springfield, Missouri for three weeks to be trained to go on the mission field. That is where I met my amazing girlfriend ,Brooklynn, who is also a missionary kid. God has a funny way of introducing people, but I'm glad He introduced me to her. She is great!
Well anyways those are the past experiences I've had with the mission field, but I'm sure I will have many more to talk about in the future.
God bless!!
