MARIA NEHNEVAJ

Why do you want to be a Mercy Missionary? I want to be a Mercy Missionary so that others know that they are a beloved child of the Father, to bring light where there is darkness, peace where there is hatred, joy where there is sadness. I want to know more of God's heart, which is close to the poor.

What hopes do you have for this year of mission? I hope to have greater trust in God and greater love for others in difficult situations, a greater resilience to life's challenges. I'm excited to see God's many blessings this year and my growth living in community with my fellow missionaries.
