To be like a child

“The posture of a student is to be like a child. To lay aside what you know and open up yourself to know new things. Sometimes it might be about things you don’t like or things you don’t believe in, but a student is always open to listening and learning new things.”
— Mikyas Assefa // Ethiopia Program Director

God is Faithful

“God is faithful and gives us the grace we need for each moment of the day. We can see his faithfulness in each moment and trust it will be there for all that we may face in the future.
— Becky Knott // Church Partnership Director

A spirit of humility

“I think the best students are those who are teachable or coachable. Without a spirit of humility and teachability, we are in danger of communicating that we just don’t care.”
— Mike Krick // Sr. Director of Strategic Partnership

Sharing all of what he has given to me

“My response to God’s faithfulness is learning every day to trust him, knowing more of him, spending time with him, and sharing all of what he has given to me with other people.”
— Karla Cristales // Guatemala Economic Empowerment Coordinator
