Strong Missions

  I really enjoyed my time in Costa Rica. Most powerful thing I learned while serving there is the perspective on poverty that I had never experienced before. The thought that there are people out there that live day by day not knowing where their next meal is coming from, and the faith in God that follows because without God, the hope for survival doesn't exist. Learned recently that hope is only as strong as what you put your faith in, and the people of Costa Rica in much more need then myself put their hope in God, which helped me to secure my faith in God as well. God is working through strong mission and I am glad I could be a part of it. Hope to carry this mentality into my school year at the University of Colorado at Boulder, and to serve the people around me like the people I met in Costa Rica did for me. All the glory to God.  -Zach Jones
