Overcoming Fear and Doubt While on Jesus’ Mission.
By: Hannah DuffyIn the summer of 2006, I went on the Global Summer Internship, which included mission trips to Jamaica, Guatemala, and the Philippines. As an 18-year-old, I already knew the Lord had called me to serve him with my life by caring for “the least of these.” Though I was plagued with insecurity, feelings of inadequacy, fear, and doubt, I told the Lord I would follow him wherever he led me.
Within the first few hours of the internship, the Bible teachings I received from Gregg Garner and the rest of the staff started to wash away my feelings of inadequacy. The Lord replaced all the lies I had believed about myself with His truth. During every Bible study (and there were so many!) I experienced healing, understanding, and direction--moving forward with the calling God had on my life and actually seeing how it could happen!
