Favorite Bible Verse: 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 “Love is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous, [love] is not pompous, it is not inflated, it is not rude, it does not seek its own interests, it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury, it does not rejoice over wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.”
Favorite Quote: “Where there is no love, put love, and you will harvest love.” -St. John of the Cross
“In the twilight of life, God will not judge us on our earthly possessions and human success, but rather on how much we have loved.” -St. John of The Cross
What does Ablaze’s mission mean to you? The Ablaze mission is a unique response to the universal calling to love our neighbors. We are called to build relationships out of love with all those around us, regardless of where they come from or who they are.
This mission at Ablaze to me means reaching out to parts of the community filled with such untapped potential, our youth. This mission is a vessel in which we can give the youth a place to be seen, known, and loved so that Christ’s love can heal all wounds and fill hearts in order to multiply his love
