I’m from a small town in south central Pennsylvania. I never considered coming to a city, much less Baltimore, until I spent a week with Source of All Hope on a mission trip. I said yes to going on the mission trip without thinking about it too much, it just seemed like the thing to do. I didn’t have any thought of being a missionary with Source of All Hope. On my first street walk, I got to meet Lisa, one of our friends on the street. She was a saintly woman, and her faith was inspirational. Lisa was struggling with poverty, stage 4 cancer, and trying to find her son, Ryan, who is homeless. Even though she was struggling so much, she had absolute trust in the promises of Jesus and God’s plan. After that street walk, I could feel God working in my heart to consider a year with Source of All Hope. On the next street walk, some of our friends thanked us for what we were doing. It was clear to me that we were actually helping people. By having a conversation with our friends on the street, we are trying to love them with the human dignity they deserve but rarely receive. I took it to prayer, and God made it clear to me that he wanted me to be a Source of All Hope missionary. So here I am.
