Why I became an SPO Missionary

I encountered SPO my freshman year college, and through the community I learned more about my identity as a son of the father and learned how to develop a prayer life, which has now become a deep and personal relationship with our father. As I became more formed in my faith, I started to notice the ways Jesus was coming alive in the people around me, and the freedom and joy it brought them. And after seeing it happen to myself and while being in a community, I have fallen in love with seeing Jesus come alive in people and believe God has given me gifts to use for this purpose. Not only for the people around me, but for a world that needs Jesus.
