A Chance to Help People Like Me

 Hey everyone, I want to tell you about some exciting opportunities I have, but first I would like to tell you a little about myself. I am a college student that is studying Christian Theology & Apologetics. I was born in Delaware, but I moved to the great country of Chile before I was even two years old. My parents moved there as Christian missionaries, and so from that point on, I became an MK (Missionary Kid). Chile is home to me and I would not want to have grown up in any other place. It has been an interesting journey so far with many amazing blessings and experiences, and many difficult moments and transitions. 

My family is part of an organization called ABWE (Association of Baptists for World Evangelism) and every four years they have regional conferences in the different areas of the world that they work in. These conferences are moments when missionaries get to connect with each other to be encouraged and to strategize while learning about what God is doing in other parts of their region. It is also an amazing opportunity for Missionary Kids to meet other MKs that understand the highs and lows of growing up in a country where they often don't fit in. Often there are many great friendships that come out of these conferences. This October (2023) I have been asked to be part of a team that will travel to Lima, Peru to minister to the MKs at the conference for Spanish-Speaking South America. In November, I will also have another opportunity to go with a team to do the same in Spain for Western-Europes' regional conference.

I am all signed up to go and am excited for what the Lord will do with our team during that time as I get to minister to "people like me." This is where you all come in. That said, I would like to ask for your support for these trips and possibly other future trips. The first and most important way that you can be of support to me is by praying. 

- Pray we will be well-prepared for the conferences

- Pray for safe travels for everyone involved

- Pray it can be a time of blessing to everyone who will be there

 A second way that you can support these ministry opportunities is financially. If you feel lead to support in this way, you can go to 

- give.abwe.org

and search for the "mk ministry team trips" fund. You can also copy this link:

Any amount is deeply appreciated. 

If you would like to join my ministry support team through prayer or giving, you can email me at mjrubin1@liberty.edu.

Thank you for your prayers as I prepare for this trip.

Senior Year and Argentina!

      Hello again! It is a little bit crazy to think that this semester marks my first as a senior at Liberty University since I am set to graduate in December. I hope to make the most out of this year, but I am also ready to be done with college for now (I have never been very good at school). That being said, halfway through my senior year I will have another incredible opportunity to both serve and learn a lot. God has been very gracious to bless me with so many opportunities these past few years, but this one will be a bit longer of a trip which is exciting!     I spent some time talking with my dad and looked at where I could spend my summer break learning from and serving a local pastor somewhere in South America. My dad told me about a pastor he knows who has worked with church planting for many years alongside his son in Argentina. Over a few emails, messages, and calls, God opened up the door for a trip to be set up for the summer.     Th...

A brief summary of Peru and España

Good afternoon! As many of you know, last semester I was given the opportunity to serve the children of missionaries at two different regional conferences with the missions organization ABWE. In my first post on this blog I discussed these opportunities and asked if you would be willing to pray for me and possibly support me financially if God were to place that on your heart. I praise God that He provided all the support needed to go and help at those conferences, and your prayers and support were a great part of what made that possible. Though the Bible lessons and connecting with the kids were our priority, we were also able to do many fun activities with them such as crafts and games. Below are two pictures of the kids doing some of these activities. Above are some of the kids working on a craft in Peru. Below are the kids doing a craft in Spain. Please continue praying for these kids and their families as they continue to serve the Lord in many different contexts.     Bel...
