GMMA has helped me rediscover my passion for God. Coming into college, I decided that I had a chance to turn over a new leaf, to leave behind the lukewarm Christian that I was in high school. GMMA was one of the first Christian organizations I found after coming onto campus, and it has been an amazing experience since. When I think about what GMMA means to me, I immediately think of community. It is incredible to see the positivity, the support, and the love that is present between the members of this organization, and this environment has really allowed for me to grow spiritually and to draw closer to God. I had also never gone on a mission trip before college, and GMMA provided me the opportunity to truly go out and serve Him in ways I never would have imagined, to be a worker in the field. GMMA has helped me immensely in my spiritual journey, and I am excited to be able to help GMMA this year as well.

Living for God every day comes with its difficulties and struggles, especially for me. With a weak spirit, I originally came to GMMA to satisfy my desire for an organization that would help with gaining medical experience. However, in GMMA, I found a community that continuously reminds me of our true goal: to always live for Christ. Through prayer, service, and a caring family, GMMA has helped me grow in my faith, accept my shortcomings, and witness the beautiful balance between faith and healthcare. Through the hardships of life, we will keep moving forward on the path God has set for us. I look forward to seeing what He has in store for GMMA!

I came into college with the premise that I would separate church and school, faith and career, daily life and mission. GMMA showed me that these things were not to be mutually exclusive, but rather coexist in day-to-day action and life. GMMA surrounded me with not just Christians, but hard-working Christians at the top of their class. It surrounded me with not just other Pre-Med students, but Pre-Med students with a love and zeal for God and loving His children. It didn’t just surround me with like minded people career-wise, but like-minded people in view of eternity. I am excited to see how God will continue to work in us and through us this year!
