Claudia

My name is Claudia Tatiana Gomez and I just graduated from Monmouth College, located in Monmouth, IL. I graduated with a Spanish major and psychology minor. Thanks to God it has been a blessing to be able to go to college and to be the first one to graduate from an immigrant family.

Another blessing from God has been able to come to Haiti for a mission trip. This mission trip has made an impact in my life to be able to trust in God and to rely on God’s power and not my own strength. On this trip it has been my first time fasting and praying to God. The compound had been waiting almost a month for containers that we needed to continue to build this ministry. As a miracle from God, the containers arrived in two days after fasting. God is so powerful and unexplainable how God provides. I knew to always pray to God but did not realize what it means to rely on God for everything, even my life.

These weeks have been full of relationship impact. From meeting the Haitian people, Haitian students who we work with, and team three to be united to worship God. Sharing our life together and getting to know one another allows me to understand different backgrounds from my own. It has been amazing to be able to relate and to make connection on how we can grow in our faith and to serve the Lord. The support of our leaders in investing in our lives to grow in God’s words has allowed me to grow in submitting my life to God in serving. I never imagined the blessing in serving God in a mission trip in Haiti. This trip has made me a stronger individual to trust in the Lord no matter how many times I may fail because GOD IS THE VICTORY OF ALL KINGS.
