During a mission trip to North Dakota, I went door-to-door through neighborhoods and trailer parks to share the Gospel with residents, meeting people where they were, both physically and spiritually. I took time to sit with them, listen to their needs, and pray with them personally, reflecting the same compassion Christ showed when He walked among the people of His time. Closer to home, I founded a Wednesday night youth basketball league as a way to build relationships with young people in my community. Recognizing that sports can be a powerful bridge, I opened every session with prayer, using the gathering as an opportunity to plant seeds of faith in the hearts of the youth in a welcoming, low-pressure environment. Both experiences taught me that exemplifying Christ’s love means going beyond the walls of the church. It means showing up, serving others selflessly, and creating spaces where people feel valued and can encounter God’s grace.
