What is your favorite scripture verse?

Galatians 2:20

I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

Romans 10:14

How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?

Isaiah 41:9-10

I took you from the ends of the earth, from its farthest corners I called you. I said, ‘You are my servant’; I have chosen you and have not rejected you. So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

What skill set has God equipped you with for use in the field?

I’m pretty much game for anything. Being a teacher for seven years, I have learned well the meaning of “monitor and adjust”, which is a must for being on the mission field. God has given me a heart and a passion for children and teenagers and I hope to be able to put those passions to use in the countries where I serve in a way that is honoring and pleasing to Him.
