Volunteer Family Dinner

This evening we had dinner with the current short-term volunteers at their residence. It was great to share stories and ideas about our volunteer experience over a meal together, outside the hustle and bustle of what is missions work. I sat back and looked around: one volunteer is here for just 3 more days, another just two three more weeks, and yet another just arrived a few days ago. The environment is so transient, yet I firmly believe there is a community, and one worth investing into. It is so important to us to seize the moments we’re in here and now, and to make the most of them before they’re gone. Spending time chatting with and challenging each other, linked by a desire to make a difference in God’s name, is invaluable.
