2022-2023 UCLA OFFICERS

“GMMA began as a safe place for me where I was able to feel belonged in a Pre-Health Missions Organization with my fellow sisters and brothers! Now, I think GMMA has become a place where I learn and continue to develop my understanding of what missions is, and how we can do it. I’ve learned through GMMA that missions isn’t a spectacular thing that must be done on a far off country, but it begins with a heart, passion, love, recognition, and interest in a community. I believe that God has so wonderfully placed GMMA in our UCLA campus and in Westwood/Los Angeles. We hope that this year, we will be able to serve God and the communities on our campus and in LA!” 

“GMMA has shown me how God’s love can truly transform and unite generations that crave fellowship, prayer, worship, the Gospel, and the growth of a missional heart. After witnessing how God can move through spiritual and physical healing, my initial interest in healthcare only grew deeper with a greater and higher purpose. I hope to continue to grow my passion for medicine through the guidance of my mentors and all of the amazing people I’ve met in GMMA. I’m so thankful to be walking with brothers and sisters who are passionate about loving God and challenge me to do the same day by day.”

 “It is definitely safe to say that as a Christian, Pre-Med college student, GMMA has been the most impactful and influential organization for me. Through God’s grace, I was able to not only find fellow brothers and sisters of Christ who share similar career aspirations but above all, a community that kept me spiritually accountable! GMMA continues to remind me how to live a Christ-centered missional life, and I am excited to nurture my relationship with God alongside my brothers and sisters!”

“GMMA is near and dear to my heart because it was a place I found true community and belonging when I felt lost as an incoming freshman. Through GMMA, I have learned what it means to live a Christ-centered missional life each day and it has taught me how to integrate my faith into the career I hope to pursue in the future. The mentorship and love of GMMA has provided so many opportunities and resources for me to be a successful pre-med student here at UCLA. I am so excited to build intentional friendships and create a community of brothers and sisters who can encourage one other both spiritually and academically!”

“It’s been said that a gift liberates the soul of its giver. If this holds true, sharing the gift of the everlasting love of God must be an equally eternally liberating experience. GMMA has introduced me to the beauty of missions through the power of evangelism and heart to serve, and I aim to reflect these teachings serving as secretary this year. GMMA has also provided me with a community, source of accountability, and access to the most academically excellent and spiritually mature mentors who inspire me to follow in their example’s. I look forward to a year of truly beautiful works with GMMA!”
