Finishing Vida220 with a Dream for the Future.
After finishing the whirlwind of leading Vida Missions this summer, we as Vida220 students took a deep breath and went back to the classroom for a full week of learning about global missions. It was powerful and impactful!
Kairos is a powerful class focused on the mobilizing of the church to reach all nations, specifically to unreached nations- those with little to no Christian influence. We have spent the last year growing as disciples of Jesus and learning to disciple others. Through Kairos we learned to see disciple-making in the context of God’s great vision for people of all nations to know Him!
Kairos also started dreams in the hearts of many of us as students. I now have a dream of welcoming international students into my home when I live again in the States.. Did you know that many international students in the US never get into the home of an average American? I’d like to change that! What a great opportunity to impact the nations by starting with simply sharing a lunch or inviting them to Thanksgiving or Christmas.
And then quickly, July 31st came, and we “graduated” from Vida220! Many tears were shed, but there was also an outpouring of joy, for we know that God is going to do great things through every person. Some will be missionaries to unreached nations, some will be professionals, others parents, but whatever we “do” God is going to use us as disciples and disciple-makers in His global mission until the whole world knows.
May God receive all the glory!
