The Mission

“Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.” At once they left their nets and followed him. Matthew 4:19-20

I read a quote on the bottom of a bunkbed at Jr. High Retreat this year about God equipping the called, not calling the equipped. My simple thoughts were this:
I once heard that God doesn’t call the equipped but equips the called which is great since I am so incredibly unequipped and God is immensely faithful.

How ironic that this is Thrive Africa's missions statement:
It is the mission of Thrive Africa to equip and mobilize indigenous leaders to become effective, valuable, and projective influences in their cultural communities through evangelism, discipleship, leadership training, and mercy outreaches.

Finally, here is my personal missions statement that I created for my trip:
This summer, I will venture into God’s calling in order that I may know Jesus more, grow in Him ever longingly, and live out in the Love which I have so graciously been given.
