"Worship is ultimate, not missions. Because God is ultimate, not man. When this age is over and the countless millions of the redeemed fall on their faces before the throne of God, missions will be no more. It is a temporary neccessity, but worship abides forever."

The Bare Minimums

Hello!

So hopefully you have watched my video blog at the top of the page (you totally should!), but if not I'll just restate a few things and talk about the main point of this blog!

I am an International Studies major at Texas A&M University. All INTS majors are required to study abroad for atleast one semester or one summer, and my plan has always been to go in the summer of 2011. After a few months of searching and praying, I realized that God was calling me to use that time for missions. A girl from my church, Meredith, told me about a great website www.rightnow.org. RIghtNow was able to show me several different mission oppurtunites and organizations, and helped me through the whole process.

God started pointing me in one specific direction, a summer internship to Guatemala with an organization called CAM International. After about two months of correspondence and the application process, I received word on July 1, 2010 that I had been accepted for my internship! Needless to say, I was ECSTATIC!

This blog is to write about anything and everything that relates to my mission. I won't be blogging very much until the internship starts, but I will definitely blog my way through prayer support and fundraising. The coming months will be a time where I will be preparing my heart and learning as much as I can in preparation for my mission. I'll post a separate blog right after this that just concisely describes the "where, when, and why" of this mission.

I love you all and your continued prayer and support means more than I can even begin to explain!

-Lauren
