MARIKA from FIJI

"My highlight from SOFM is the burning desire that God has given me to serve Him in long-term missions. For as long as God leads me, I want to serve in the specific nation that He has placed on my heart. The school really challenged me in multiple ways, in choosing to surrender myself to the Lord’s will."
