MCML Podcast E83: Emily's Story of how Privilege Equals Purpose
One of the wonderful things of a mission trip is the fact that it does not only change the life of the people you interact with during that time but it changes you as well. Emily was still a student when she went on her mission trip in India but the impact it had on her life was life changing. Even now, it is because of what she had experienced in India that she is currently in the path of the career she chose.
In this episode:
- Emily shares what she did during her mission trip and how she went to orphanages, children’s homes and women’s homes to administer, pray and read bible stories with them during summer time
- India is a culturally diverse place, even certain food establishments available in the United States taste different in India, adding to its unique charm
- The discrepancy between the rich and the poor is also very visible as you can see the small shanty houses made of any available materials they can get their hands on in the shadows of grand houses lived by the rich
- Emily’s experience during her time in India, especially the eye opening moment she experienced when she saw the wealth discrepancy propelled her to her current path of public health
- Mission trips are there to guide you, help you confirm or assure you of what you wish to do, it shows you the big picture and helps you forge your own way to the right path. It changes your life but only if you let it.
- We are not trying to change their culture or to intervene with their tradition, we simply want to make sure the discrepancies in their lives do not affect their health, and spiritual wellbeing
