Growing up I was a young black stereotypical teenager. I grew up in one of the worst neighborhoods in New York City. I was getting into a lot of trouble and doing things I really should not have been doing. Then one of the greatest things happens to me. God put me in an environment of people who were good associations. God started to show me that in order to live for him i had to get around people who were living for him and I realized that living for Christ is a process and the lord has taught me a valuable lesson and that was that it doesn’t matter if your in the light of Christ because if your environment is not right you are going back into the darkness. So my life Purpose and my vision for going to Kenya is to create and environment that builds faith, inspires and motivates those in Kenya to pull out the greatness within them and give them a hope for the future and a faith that with the help of God they will achieve what God called them to achieve. And also to be a testimony that struggle, obstacles, and failures are apart of achieving their purpose and that God uses trials and tribulation as building blocks. God Wraps all Great Big Gifts in Great Big Problems. So i say all that to say, I am going to Kenya to be an example of how God can take you from a failure to walking in his purpose, But i believe i will learn more and take home more value then i can ever give. So i am excited for what God will allow Kenya to impart into me before i leave beautiful Kenya. I cant Wait. I just feel blessed to be apart of this awesome team and Honored to allow God to use me to display Love like grace said and to do his work.
