Where do you live now?
I am currently residing in Gainesville, Georgia. Its about an hour and a half northeast of Atlanta and the location of the Adventures in Missions headquarters. Adventures is the organization I went on the World Race with.
What are you doing there?
I am attending the Center for Global Action. Its a training program designed for people who have gone on the World Race or another Adventures trip built on three pillars: discipleship, apprenticeship, and community. Learn more HERE and/or continue reading below.
Discipleship: Next week I will be assigned a discipler whose role will be to hold me accountable to commitments I have made and challenge me to grow in my faith. I also attend courses designed to grow me and help me realize my full potential in Christ. I am a part of the Worship Track so I will be learning more about what it means to truly have a heart of worship and how to lead worship well.
Apprenticeship: I am doing an apprenticeship in the office and through this will be professionally developed and gain new skills. My placement is with Staff Relations and Event Coordination. I am so excited about this and looking forward to learning how to serve a community/organization well. Also, while I am not called to overseas missions for this season of my life, the work that I am doing here makes it possible for those who are called to go.
Community: Pretty much everything I do, I do with other CGA apprentices. I live with 5 other women and a house mentor, we all take courses and tracks together, and participate in other community activities. On the race I saw how beneficial living in a healthy, God-pursuing community can be. In fact, I don’t just think its beneficial but necessary. I am surrounded by fellow apprentices and Adventures staff who care for me and call me higher. This is a community where iron sharpens iron and I am so blessed to be a part of it.
Why did you decide on CGA?
On the world race God renewed in me a passion for leading worship and revealed to me that he truly has crafted me to sing praises to him and to lead other people into his presence. I want to become better equipped as a worship leader and grow in my reflection of Christ. I also really want to nurture this creative part of myself that I have neglected for so long.
