Why did you decide to serve the mission at Farm of the Child?

I decided to serve at the Farm of the Child because, after an experience as a summer volunteer teacher in rural India, I was truly struck by God in a way I had never been before. Working with vulnerable children revealed to me the depth of God’s love, compassion, and patience, and since then, I have felt an unwavering call to serve. I have seen with my own eyes how Christ dwells in the faces and lives of those in need, and have learned that if we wish to truly find God, we must dedicate ourselves to serving others. When God calls, you go (just ask the Prophet Jonah!), and ever since India, I have felt God calling me to a life of service and simple living at The Farm of the Child, where I can truly walk alongside God and God's beloved children.
