A catchy title, but I actually did think it interesting to write about what’s in my purse, not just the girly things, but the essentials I tote around with me on campus as a missionary at UASD.
- A water bottle. Make that two. It’s hot and I need to stay hydrated.
- A roll of toilet paper. Well for all that water…and the campus bathrooms do not come stocked with TP (or toilet seats for that matter, but that’s not as crucial)!
- Bilingual Bible. Standard.
- Flyers for our Vida Estudiantil group.
- Spiritual interest surveys that we use to help us start conversations about God and provide a way for us to follow up with students.
- Printed copies of articles on topics like prayer, our identity in Christ, submitting to God’s will, etc. to share with students who might need encouragement in that area.
- Bilingual copies of the Four Spiritual Laws. Basic tool for sharing the Gospel clearly with others. We use these often!
- A game. Currently carrying Pass the Pigs. A great way to meet new students and get to know them in a fun setting.
- A Christian book. Currently carrying Entrusting the Key by Ali Smith since one of the student leaders just returned it to me (we exchange books often!)
- Lip gloss. It is a purse after all! Who says missionaries gotta look homely?
It takes some time to plan ahead, but I think that even when I’m back home in the States, I will continue to carry with me helpful tools to share Jesus with whoever I might meet that day!
