Dream big
October 23, 2010Hi Mercy & Justice team (and anyone else who wants to post!),
Here’s something I’d like to know:
What is your biggest personal ambition / dream / goal as it pertains to mercy and justice ministry? This may or may not relate to your current occupation.
You may not have thought through this before, but is there an area of particular interest in which you’d like to serve?
I’ll break my usual “wait-till-others-share” rule here to share that my hope is to work in an educational setting. My own educational experience was a huge blessing to me, and yet even in America there are lots of broken places where children slip through in the school system. This was solidified for me when I saw the movie, “The Marva Collins Story” (which sometimes plays on the Gospel Music Channel). Cecily Tyson played the real-life educator whose singular passion for educational success among children in her community made a drastic difference. I want to help open doors to hope and opportunity in places where children simply need someone to love on and believe in them. We shall see!
Come, chime into our discussion! I’d love to hear your hearts!
