The adventure came after the surrender, not before. Noah is a Resident Assistant at Black Forest Academy in Germany, and his path there ran straight through a calling he really didn't want to say yes to. Noah traces the journey from an international upbringing through a defining study abroad experience to a moment of reluctant obedience, and what he found waiting on the other side.
"Their parents can focus on ministry while having their kids receive a really good, quality education, and the dorm side for us is that we become partners, co-workers with the parents as we seek to guardian them and lead them through these four years that they're here."
"I had packed into a box this idea that following Jesus into the mission field means leaving behind everything you love."
"I really didn't want to obey, but I knew He was calling me."
"They immediately responded with, 'Oh, you're one of us. Oh, you get us.'"
"When you can get into a mindset where you give up predictability, when you give up seeing things in the way you planned, it becomes easier to hear His voice."
"We [in Gen Z] have a desire for truth; we want what's real. We don't like the facade; we don't like the fake."
"You lay it all at Jesus' feet, and you say, 'Abba Father, here is my life, here is everything. You are in control. You have access to everything.'"
"The answer came on the other side of obedience. I've found myself living what feels like an adventure, and I only found the adventure once I surrendered."
