Marion had the wonderful privilege of serving Global Challenge Expeditions (gcex.org) for one month. GCEX gives younger people the opportunity of experiencing God and other cultures for a year while traveling various parts of the earth.
During this time they have the opportunity to grow and learn more about themselves, teamwork, culture and leadership. They serve local communities and each other as they go along and through this their lives are changed.
It really is a challenge as they grow and learn to work in a team and through this come to know that God is with and inside of them. The world takes note of these teams because their God-seeking lifestyles show – it is so different from the rest of the world.
Marion was part of the team to debrief, counsel and shape the team dynamics half-way through their 8-month challenge. They met up with two teams, one in Egypt and one in Croatia. In Egypt she felt the majesty of the Sinai desert where the Israelites wandered in the desert and where Moses met God.
The bruises on the devoted Muslims heads convicted her of our lack of bruises on our knees – we don't pray enough to the living God. Marion was humbled by experiences such how the poor blessed her.
God showed Marion how to pray for real needs and He provides the answer. She learned how strong she is and how capable she is to adapt and be independent.
Thank you Marion for sharing your journey with us. We are inspired!
