This week we are going to highlight Michelle!!! Michelle will be leaving us in a week. We’re super sorry to see her go, but we know this is how God wants it…for now at least.
I took a few minutes on the bus to ask Michelle some questions about her experiences here and how God brought her here.
Michelle is from California. She accepted Christ at age 6 after hearing about God´s power to change Saul´s life, she then realized that if God could change Saul´s life and use him so greatly that surely he could use her too.
She has a BA from Biola University in Intercultural Studies and a minor in Bible. She explained to me that all that she learned there gave her more of an insight into missions and God’s heart for the nations. She has a love for Mexico and explained how her involvement with Tijuana Ministries (Mexico) grew her love for Hispanics, their language and ministry with them. Tijuana Ministries was an every other weekend trip where they would go to a battered women’s shelter of sorts. They spent time building relationships with the women, doing VBS with the kids, and basically just helping them get back on their feet.
Michelle shared that her favorite thing here is tutoring the kids. She enjoys spending time with the kids, and feels that it’s very rewarding to watch the kids progress. (Side note: the kids she tutors got their evaluations back yesterday and did very well. Go Michelle!!) She also feels as though her eyes have been opened a lot to the poor and their needs.
She confesses that the first thing she’s going to eat when she gets back to California is some authentic Mexican food…mainly just the frijoles, though!!
One life change that Michelle has learned here and feels that she will maintain when she gets back to the states is patience!!
We LOVE this girl and know that God will use her no matter where she is in this great big world!
