On the Field

15/03/19

After 2 weeks of being in Africa, we were (finally) put into ministry. So my new normal will consist of :
– Monday: Office
– Tuesday: Outreach
– Wednesday: Impact Baby Rescue
– Thursday: Impact Students
– Friday: Impact Kids

The first week has opened my eyes to the community. I had such different expectations for just about every specialty. Some, I did not expect to have so much responsibility/jobs. For example, Impact Baby Rescue, I expected to be with infants almost all day. However, we do more than that. We go to clinics, hospitals, communities, and SOMETIMES we see infants (if we are lucky). But for the most part, we minister to expecting mothers or new mothers.

I think each day I experience each specialty, I will learn more about God and myself. Even after the first week, I learned how the Holy Spirit can utilize me in many different ways and I cannot wait to see how He uses me in the next 3 months.

“The Lord has used Impact ME to set my feet on solid ground, not only missionally, but also theologically.”

“This was my first mission trip and it literally transformed me and changed my life! I love what Impact Africa is doing for the people of Africa! Before this trip I hadn't ever had a passion for missions or an understanding of how important missions really is! Now I want to live my life for the Gospel! Thank you Impact Africa for impacting me!”

“Being an intern at Impact Africa was the greatest decision I've ever made. Before I came here, I was loving and serving Jesus the best I knew how, but it still felt like I was living in black and white. Now, I finally feel like I'm seeing in color. Learning how to share my faith and embracing the Great Commission has made me come alive in a way I've never felt before.”
