My very first mission trip that I ever embarked on was to Haiti. While I was there I had a lot of experiences that I am very fond of and most have helped shape who I am today and what I want to do with my life. So this photo reminds me a lot of that experience there in Haiti, which sort of solidified that mission work was something that I really felt called to. I had already felt that calling a few years before this first trip, but my time there in Haiti made it all more real for me.
The little girl in this picture brings me to the core of my inspiration for the mission work I plan on doing. Our team made a trip over to the Island of Tortuga for a day's worth of VBS and playing with kids. This little girl was there sitting in a hut on the ground, with nothing but an old dirty t-shirt on. I instantly fell in love with just about every single child I came in contact with that entire trip. Life has moved on and changed in different ways since then, but I can always go back and look at the pictures of those kids to remind myself of my life's passion.
