💛Why Pittsburgh?
I chose Pittsburgh because I heard about it through Shandon College, and they were saying they needed people to go. At first, I thought, “That’s not for me. I’d never be able to do it,” but after some thought and prayer with our college pastor, Steve Turner, I quickly felt God tugging on my heart more and more to go leverage some of my summer for His glory in Pittsburgh. This calling was confirmed when I felt God lay it on my heart to watch the Steel City Church sermon on YouTube from the Sunday before, and it was on Acts 3–4, which was the exact chapter I had just read the day before. Pastor Chris prayed that we would “accept our call to not just be Jesus-adjacent, but to be formed by Him and not by the world.” It was at that moment I knew I needed to accept my call to go to Pittsburgh in May and June and serve their city, Steel City Church, and God. I knew that the sermon was God confirming my calling to go on this mission. After praying more, I submitted my application and felt God’s presence over me.
🤩What are you most excited for?
I’m so excited to get closer with my team and become like a family while we’re here in Pittsburgh because fellowship is so important, and we’re not meant to do this alone. It’s so important to have people to go through this trip with, to lean on, and to learn from.
🙏What are you praying for God to do in and through you this summer?
In me, I pray that God teaches me more about Himself and His character and grows me in wisdom so that I can go back to Columbia and live missionally there beyond this trip. Through me, I pray that God uses me in any way He wills. I want to walk into every moment on this trip with open hands and so much willingness on the table. I want to give God my yes in every moment, like, “Lord, I’ll be Your hands, feet, and tongue, just use me however You want to increase Your kingdom.” I also pray that Pittsburgh flourishes and that, in its flourishing, His name would be known.
