My name is Callee Maria Jaques and I'm so blessed to be on this team! But before I brag about how great they are, a bit about me. I'm from Chino, CA where my wonderful family has a dairy farm. I have an older sister, brother-in-law, and two older brother that I adore... most of the time :) My parents are pretty awesome too. Love you all! I've grown up in a Catholic home that has shaped my beliefs and outlook on life. I'm finishing up my junior year/second year in the nursing program. I keep myself busy with hospital rotations, studying like crazy, soccer intramural, position as a Campus Life Intern, and now preparing for this amazing mission.
This is my first mission and second time being out of the country. I'm excited to experience a new culture and see the work God is doing there. The amazing organizations we are assisting is what pulled me into this trip. Mother Teresa led a selfless, Christ-centered life and seeing the mark she left in Bangladesh will be unforgettable. The terrible world of sex-trafficking has become more apparent to me these last few years. It breaks my heart that women and children are subjected to this life all over the world. It will be an honor to work alongside the men and women that dedicate their lives to rescuing them.
And I couldn't see myself sharing this experience with any other group of people. I LOVE MY TEAM! God has given us a strong foundation of unique gifts and selfless passion. I am confident in our team, confident in this mission, and confident in the plans He has for us!
Prayer Requests:
-Keep Christ the focus in this trip
-Learn how to communicate His love to the people of Bangladesh and Nepal
-Financial support (THANKS TO ALL THE SPONSORS)
-Being culturally competent, in other words, not making an idiot of myself in another country
With love,
Callee
