So, whether you are traveling overseas or can't get along with a classmate, this gives you a tool to engage any situation.

#slumfies #msinformed #waitareminiskirtsillegalhere?

Can we do this better? This is a call. To be SENT OUT cross-culturally, to serve and learn alongside the local church in the majority world. And to respond in return being SENT BACK; informed and empowered to take action in your local community. BE SENT. Reshape your world.

Come talk about where purpose and passion fit into your life, what God might think of the whole thing, and how we can stop pressure from ruining them both.
