Charlene Derkach is a Hope for the Island Canada Board Member and shares her reflections on a mission trip to Hope.
In September God once again provided a way for me to journey across the world from Canada and be a part of the amazing move of His Spirit at Hope for the Island. I am moved to tears once again as I arrive at Hope and sense immediately His Presence Love and Peace. So wonderful to see familiar faces that are now my extended family – Derek & Jenn, Brison & Makana, Let, Jing, Joan, Cristina, Cora, Nermilyn and Kenneth. My stay is always too short as it has been the last 2 times as well being only 2 weeks on the island. But what an amazing 2 weeks! My servant heart wanted only to be immersed in life at Hope for the Island and be the best extension of Him that I could be.
