I just heard this story and thought I’d share it with you.

Robin went to Monterrey, Mexico on a mission trip. She was expecting to learn a few new things, but she had no idea what God had in store for her:

What really touched me on the trip was the kids and how they connected to the drama we did, watching their eyes tear up, and seeing God in them. But I also I got to lead an adult to Christ for the first time and it was awesome.

I don't know Spanish so we talked through translator. He came up to me and I could tell he wanted God, you could see it in his eyes. He was so hungry and started asking all these questions. I've never seen somebody so hungry for God before. We prayed together and he accepted Jesus!

On the trip, I learned that people have to look at your actions before they hear what you have to say. I didn't think that I could ever change somebody else’s life through my actions. I know that if I can influence people here, I can influence them at home.

My goal is to turn my youth group upside down, and show them that it's by actions that others will see God’s love in us.

When I got on this trip, I took off my mask. The person that I am here is the person that I want to be at home, and that's the person that follows God, not the person that hides behind the bush.

I started turning my life all the way around when I went to Acquire the Fire. Before that I lived a lie. I was spiritually dead. On this trip I've learned to keep on going, to keep on opening the Word every day. I'm alive now, and God's alive in me!
