Flying into King Shaka International Airport, often referred to as La Mercy, was a truly extraordinary experience. As I gazed out of the airplane window, I couldn't contain my excitement and let out a shout of praise! My heart overflowed with gratitude to God for the chance to serve in this place.
This journey represents more than just a physical arrival; it symbolizes a profound spiritual journey. I am incredibly thankful for the opportunity to share the gospel and sing His praises in this beautiful land. Not long ago, I felt trapped in a cycle of uncertainty and doubt, but now, I am free.
This moment is a testament to the transformative power of faith, and I am eager to embrace the calling placed upon my life. With every step I take in this new place, I feel empowered to spread hope and joy, knowing that I am part of something much greater than myself.
Once I landed and retrieved my luggage I was greeted by my group leader and 5 other missionaries already waiting to be transported to our new home. Eventually, we were joined by another 9. While we patiently await our transport we introduce ourselves; sharing our names, ages, and home countries.
Let me introduce them.
