Aisha's Journey

13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.   14 For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility   15 by abolishing the law of commandments expressed in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace… Ephesians 2:13-15 How beautiful and grand the body of Christ is! With the gift of technology, I’ve been able to reflect on this “family” and “body” seen in the book of Ephesians. What a joy to see the body of Christ all over the world, working together, meeting online, and innovating for the sake of the gospel. The month of April marked a transition in ministry for me with the opportunity of connecting with students from GBU in Chile and beginning my work as staff even though I am still here in Miami. I love the illustration given in verse 13, “you who once we...

What at first seemed like a limitation, became our gateway to more personal conversations and to gain a new perspective on a campus we can easily overlook. Thank you God for the time we prayed for our...

What a week it has been! With it being Sunday, I finally have some time to sit down and reflect on these days. I want to start by saying that God has been faithful and present in every one of my steps. Not only did I arrive safely to Lancaster, but I have been able to enjoy my time here. Driving 18 hours is no joke. I don't think I understood how much effort it would take to drive all the way. We began our journey on Tuesday and drove around 8 hours to Savannah GA. With all the excitement of the journey, I was unable to sleep. The next day we drove the rest of the way to Lancaster and enjoyed a warm and savory dinner. Although the travel was spent between catching up on sleep, driving, and studying, there were precious moments of conversation and reflection with my dad. I realized how much I appreciate his wisdom and his caring yet challenging words. As we spent that Thursday moving in, I dropped my dad at the train station and went back to campus for our interns orie...
