My Servant Heart
Serving my community is a huge part of who I am as a person. I love to give back to my community and help people around the world.

This service has really opened up my eyes to the poverty that happens not only to the children in Asia or Africa, but people in my own community.
Another service activity that is very meaningful to me has been participating in mission trips where I can directly help people around America. I have traveled to Bennettsville, South Carolina for the past three years on mission trips and absolutely love it. In Bennettsville I have worked on many different work sites. The most meaningful experience for me was when we helped the Williams family rebuild their kitchen. The Williams family has eight family members, 6 adults and 2 young children, living in a small house which caught on fire and completely destroyed the kitchen in their home. Because they did not have any money to repair the home, they lived with no kitchen or appliances for six months before we arrived. They had to cook in a toaster oven or on a small charcoal grill and
