Destino Bible Study

I love Destino! We meet on Tuesday nights from 6-7:30pm, and it's great. We have been consistently a group of EIGHT girls. Ekaterina (Puerto Rican, Leader), Berenise (Peruvian), Sylvia (Mexican), Blanca (Mexican), Gladys (Mexican), Holly (North American, Campus Crusade Representative), Allison (N. A., Co-RA), and me (N. A.).

We always start out with an Ice Breaker (Rompe de heilo), like Sillas Musicales (musical chairs), and then we have a Bible Study. I love that it is a small group atmosphere and that we are all girls.

Tonight several of the girls could not make it, so I decided to postpone the lesson I had planned and the four of us there shared our testimonies. It was so incredibly neat to hear how extremely different our stories were, but yet how God was using each different detail in our lives to lead us to Destino! It reminds me that God has big plans for Destino on NC State's Campus or He would not have spent the time leading us all to be part of the Destino group.

Please pray for our group. We would love to have some guys join (we LOVE our girl group, but we can't stay exclusive forever). Also pray that God would use us on our campus and that we would know how to reach out to the Hispanics here.

When I visited State during my senior year of high school, I signed up on NC State's Hispanic organization's email list. While in Costa Rica I got an email announcing the first Destino meeting. I was so excited about the idea of Destino, that I prayed for it even before I came to State. It's fun to look back and see how God put Destino on my heart before I was even a part of it!...God clearly has had plans for Destion long before the rest of us did.
