Missions Moment: Jesy Nepa, Changing Lives

Jesy Nepa has also been with us since the very first year, and just returned from teaching English at an orphanage in Bolivia. We're blessed to have her with us again!

Changing Lives

"I never remember meeting Sam, but one year (at our basketball camp)she just met us and then hung out with us for the entire week like never left at dinner time, and then that was how it went every year basically. So my most memorable moments are with her but they're all just mashed together, and . . . every time we come back, it (feels like) no time has passed. It's crazy. I've seen her grow in her faith a lot, and it's been really encouraging to me. I think when you come down on missions trips you think like 'Oh, I'm going to change the world, or change someone's life,' but they end up changing yours. Sam changed mine with her friendship, and taught me what being a good friend means."
