Why did you decide to serve the mission at Farm of the Child?

 Throughout my time in college, the Lord was preparing my heart for mission through my faith formation, my background in education, my time as a camp counselor, and my experiences on mission trips and pilgrimages. As my time in college started to wrap up, I felt a strong desire for more than pursuing a career after graduation. When I found Farm of the Child, I was filled with relief and excitement at the possibility of a lifestyle of simplicity, community, prayer, and service. This opportunity is everything I have been praying for, and I am so blessed to get to serve on this mission.
