Making sure that you are a spiritually fed is very essential
to the mind and body. So meeting
with Pastor A.R. Bernard again was much needed to help the Reid Group
and I stay focus throughout this internship.
With many big groups there will be moments where you have
some ups and downs or, as Ms. Reid would call them, “incidents.” Pastor
Bernard, once again hit it right on the nail with his message about how we
don’t need self-entitlement when we deal with different situations. For
example, when God places us in a position where we may not agree with the
outcome, we have to learn not to blame him. It’s not about our feelings, or us
we have to understand that we have the power to make the choices in life that
can help us overcome those obstacles.
We also met with the members of Christian Cultural Center
(CCC) who are active in the youth ministry, also known as C3. C3 is a group of
youth who are dynamically involved in ministry who travel all around the world.
They shared a few stories about their mission trip in Guatemala, which was very
powerful. Especially when the lady who’s originally from Australia talked about
expressing love through a simple hug and smile made a difference in those young
Guatemalans girls’ life.
I never been outside of the United States, but watching and
listening to C3 story, inspired me to get back into ministry. Members agreed that
their faith was tested and increased from their experience in Guatemala. That is something I desperately want to
experience for myself because sometimes here United States I can get distracted
and take the simple blessings in life for granted.
When I go back home to Dallas, TX I would definitely tell my
Pastor Hal Johnson from Christian Stronghold Church about CCC mind-blowing youth
ministry.
