Speaker: Venus Mae Gatdula, International GMF Serving in Cambodia
Venus Mae Gatdula: I think when you are a Global Mission Fellow, loneliness would be one of the things that most if not all of us struggle with, especially when you're alone in your placement site. And for me, the bigger GMF cohort has really been a community that lifts me up in a way. I appreciate how we're more than just batch mates, but we are each other's brothers and sisters, that we can lean on each other. If we need someone to talk to, if we need someone to listen to us or if we need someone to pray for us and with us. It's helpful to be reminded that you are not alone in this journey, that we may be going through different things at the same time, but it doesn't mean that we don't understand what each other is going through. So I do really appreciate the community that we've built in support to each other and with each other. I also I also appreciate the support
