Why Am I Excited - Mason Van Beek

Why would I not be excited?! 

I am going to be able to see the Bible come to life. I will get to understand the stories of the Bible in a more vivid and detailed way through this trip. These past few years, I have really grown in my faith and I am excited because I see this as a way to expand my faith in a tangible way. I am excited because I know my personal faith will grow, and through that I believe will benefit those around me as well as I will be able to really spread God's message in a new, more powerful way, and use this trip as a way to show people the Bible is real and that what it talks about is really truly. 

You will never get the full experience of understanding stories and teaching from the Bible until you go and see and experience the places where they happened.  People still want to be able to visually see what is being talked about. 

To me, this trip is about discipleship, which to me means that we are going down there to dive into the Bible for two weeks, and then be disciples and spread what we learned and experienced with others. That is what makes me excited. The fact that this isn't only for myself, but to benefit others as well. 

Mason is currently a junior in the Rock Valley Community School District.
