I'll start with a little introduction of myself:
My name is Stephen Potts. I am a third year communications major and Biblical studies minor at Azusa Pacific. I was born and raised in San Jose, California. My time here at APU has been fantastic and I have been involved a lot on campus. This year has been great so far after just being a coordinator for the orientation program here called Alpha. This will be my third missions trip that I will be going on, and the second one going through the Office of World Missions.
Personally, I am so excited for this trip. Nothing has really been finalized in our trip of what we are going to do, but I know God will be having us do amazing things for Him and we will experience a lot of His glory this summer. This will be a great trip to see whether missions will be something I will be continuing to do short term or whether I am being called to a more long term time abroad.
Along with being excited for the trip, I am so excited for our team as well!
These first few weeks of getting to know another has been great because, well, we're an amazing group! Being involved in a lot of groups in my time as a student leader, I have never seen such love together right off the bat of meeting each other than I do in our group. I would say that our team has a personality of being very fun loving, affectionate, caring and joyous. We've been very responsible as well, getting our letters in on time and being the first time to pay our tithes. I see us bonding so well and being able to support each other greatly on our trip.
This weekend is the training retreat for of all the missions teams so we get to hang out and learn together for an entire weekend. It's going to be a good time!
I shall leave you with a few prayer requests:
-The people of Bangladesh
-For our support letters to be received well.
-Financial support
-Team development
-Protection from spiritual attack
You are Loved!
~Stephen
