having a good, deep and rooted understanding of God’s love for us can help us see past the acceptance, attention and approval of our performance before man.” “
B efore this year, I was serving as the chaplain of my middle school and high school and was simply thought that the place I was spiritually was enough. I knew about my faith but I had never made it my own and never drew closer to the sphere of who God really is. I heard about Word of Life through a WOL missionary that worked at my school in Honduras. He connected me with the ministry so I could help out as a translator for their mission trips. But soon enough, I got involved in Bible clubs and different activities that lead me talking about attending the Bible Institute. I had never heard of the Florida Campus until I saw camp videos and I said, “yes!” I knew it was going to be a place to stretch my comfort zone. It wasn’t easy getting here but the Lord has always been faithful. Life here at WOLBI has been crazy, and definitely in a good way. The Lord has challenged my life in every single aspect. He made me realize that it is never enough to just settle for who I feel I am or what I have accomplished. He has put me in leadership positions over and over again to show me that it is no coincidence that He has called me to lead. He has shown His grace and mercy by putting me in situations that always lead me to a place closer and of more dependence on Him. While I have been at the BI the Lord has shown me through Scripture, ministry, friendships, classes and my own personal quiet time that having a good, deep and rooted understanding of God’s love for us can help us see past the acceptance, attention and approval of our performance before man. I have invested in friendships that I’m more than sure will last a life time. My life at the BI has been unbelievable. My plans after the BI is to pursue the completion of the program and go to second year in New York. After that I believe I want to take the path of the CCI internship program and help with the Word of Life ministries back in my country, Honduras.
