DON'T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT
Whatever my path will be, I know that God will use me and my husband for His work. He calls us, and we will go wherever He wants us to go. That is also why CLI is the best option for me. I can study anywhere in the world and that brings tremendous freedom, peace, and joy.
