Tori's Journey So Far...
In the past two summers, I had the privilege of serving with CEF Hawaii. I had opportunities to invest in the lives of the students, as well as other summer interns I worked alongside. Whether I was involved in teaching classes, working one-on-one with the students, or mentoring and guiding their spiritual growth, I was consistently growing in my understanding of being a servant leader and what it means to reflect the love of Christ in all I do. One moment that stands out was witnessing the students’ confidence in their faith grew from the beginning of the summer to the end of the summer and it is amazing to see the Holy Spirit’s transformative work in their hearts.
Growing up in the church, I always looked up to my parents and the leaders who poured into my life and helped me shape my faith. Seeing the impact they made, I knew that one day I would be doing the same. My passion for working with children and students has only deepened with each opportunity, especially when I saw how children in Keiki Bible Clubs are so excited and eager to learn about Jesus and given the opportunity to hear about the Good News every day, especially considering how many are unable to do so.
As I step into this new season of ministry, I am excited to see how God will use this upcoming internship to equip me further for His kingdom. I am looking forward to gaining a stronger understanding of His will for my life and learn from each experience as He shapes me to serve with CEF. Thank you for supporting me in this new phase of my journey to grow as a leader and servant of Christ.
