Gifts, by Brisa Sander

Last summer, I had the opportunity to go to Haiti with Advance. I am so grateful for that trip because my life has been forever changed. I saw God's love more on that trip than ever before. It blows my mind how loving and giving the people of Haiti are. We rode through towns that didn't have houses. They lived under sticks and a tarp. It was really humbling to work beside a team of Haitians that shared the same love for Jesus that I have. I am really excited to return and see the friends that I made there. I also can't wait to work beside some of my best friends and grow a deeper relationship with them, and God. 

I came across a verse in 1 Peter that says, "Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms." Each one of us has a different gift that we can use to impact Haiti. I love kids and I can't wait to spend time with them. I believe that every single person on this team is going for a reason and God is using each and every one of us. It is our duty to use the gifts He gave us to serve him.
