| Angela: I just want to write and testify of the faithfulness of God and the way He used Urbana 96 to change me! Seeds planted there have grown and are now flowering beautifully!
I came vaguely thinking I wanted to do something in medical missions and ended up talking to a doctor who had practiced in Nepal for 30 years. He told me that if I realy wanted to interact on a personal level with people, I should consider nursing. That made so much sense, especially since medical school would take so long--I want to get out there! Since then I have taken steps toward that goal, first becoming an EMT and then a nursing assistant, and now I am enrolled in nursing school.
Every day I am encouraged that this is where I am supposed to be, and I have learned so much about servanthood and the greatness of God as I learn about the human condition--and I have seen so many people that could be healthy in body if they could know Jesus and be healed in their spirit! God is teaching me to love people, and minister to them right where I am, to prepare me for a bigger world. During my week at Urbana I began relationships that I now treasure and made contacts with missions organizations from whom I have received much guidance. And the worship! I am still blessed by it, and it brings me closer to God. So be encouraged, because I am going to be there praising God with you in 299 days, and I'm bringing as many people with me as I can!
