Why did you become an SPO Missionary?

I want heaven to be full from people knowing and loving Jesus. I want more souls to have a relationship with the living God. College is a battleground, a pivotal time for formation- and I didn't realize this until I began living it. There is a lot of brokenness, disillusion, vanity, and loneliness on campuses, and I feel the Lord's heart breaking for students, desiring to tenderly beckon them out of it. My hope is that I can be the Lord's hands & feet, for this purpose: to spread the good news and love others in a life-giving way, so that we can be the city on a hill that cannot be hidden.
