SUPPORT THE GROUP ABOVE OR SUPPORT BY INDIVIDUAL MISSIONARY BELOW
If you'd like to get to know our summer missionaries a little better, we asked them a few fun questions:
1.What is something about you that people frequently misinterpret or assume incorrectly at first glance?
2.You are stuck in an unmarked van for a 12 hour stakeout. What single snack & beverage are you bringing to survive?
3.What specific song is blasting in your headphones while you slowly walk away from an explosion in slow motion?
Check out their answers below!

1) Some people incorrectly assume that I am loud when they first meet me.

2) Lays chips (no deep reason honestly, I just love Lays it’s my go-to snack every time I travel or just need something to munch on)
Drink would be lemon water. I like water, but plain water feels boring to me sometimes, so lemon water keeps it refreshing. I do have a sweet tooth, but I still usually lean towards water most of the time.
3) “Holy Spirit Take Over (Take Over)” Theophilus Sunday
I love chants, so something deep, spiritual, and atmospheric like this would definitely be playing while I walk away in slow motion I need Him to take over in that moment.
