The Hands and Feet of Christ

What does it mean to be the hands and feet of Christ? What does it mean to truly love? How can I sacrifice my own pleasures for the sake of helping someone else?



For spring break this semester, I will be going a mission trip to Haiti. We will be there for a week, starting tomorrow, March 10th. Please keep us in your prayers. This is an exciting time. A time to discover what it's really like to be Christ to someone. It's also a terrifying time as this is my first time out of the country. I'm excited to serve, (not gonna lie, I'm psyched about the warm weather), but nervous about what it will be like.

I've realized in the last day or so that I have no idea what I'm getting myself into. I don't know what it's really like to be without food or money or clothes. I don't know what it's like to have poverty in my life. I don't want my own selfishness to get in the way of serving those around me. This trip is going to be a big lesson in trust, love, and self-gift.

As I am there, I will keep all of you in my prayers! Please check back for future posts and updates about our trip - I'll do my best to keep you updated.

And as I'm going, I pray that I will keep this in mind:

“If Jesus Christ be God and died for me, then no sacrifice can be too great for me to make for Him.” C.T. Studd
