Every day at work I have the opportunity to interpret for non-English patients, pray with them and on several occasions share the gospel openly. My involvement with the local church has become a priority since I graduated from the Honor Academy. The vision to impact restricted nations for Christ was birthed at the internship and is finally coming together through a mission’s board.
To think that I almost went straight to college instead of attending the Honor Academy blows me away. I knew I was called, but I had my own plans; I was afraid of making the wrong decision regarding my future. Was it worth it? Every aspect of it! Sure, the life-long friendships and spiritual disciplines I develop are still influencing my life today. Of course, there were also practical principles I learned that enable me to stay not only debt free, but financially stable to be able to spend 3-5 months each year solely on the mission field. Most of all, I don’t just live to “pay the bills each month,” I live my life with the purpose of serving God wherever I am. The Honor Academy is what God chose to get me here. I am sure there are other places like the HA, but I’ve just never seen them.
