Why I became an SPO Missionary

In college, I was living a pretty lukewarm life style and it was not bringing me any happiness or growth towards the woman I wanted to be. Everything changed my sophomore year when I was brought to a low point and I had to face myself. God, in His mercy, reached out through the men and women involved in the campus ministry and brought me into freedom and restored my identity. Much like the woman at the well in John’s Gospel, I was moved by this love. It propelled me to run to other college students and share that God’s love is not far from us in our 20s. I want every college student to know the freedom and peace that comes with rooting and grounding yourself in the Lord during your 4 years of college.
