I grew this summer in ways I would not have imagined. The biggest thing I noticed was that our ACMNP team was all very different.

We each came from different parts of the country, different denominations, and different opinions.

Something we all had in common was our love for Jesus and our desire to share it with others. You don’t have to have the same interests as someone, what unites a group is the mission. Our mission: to spread the love of Christ to others.

I believe my beliefs were challenged when I realized that. I learned new ways of looking at things and really tried to get to the core of why I believe what I do.
