When I founded the team in early April, my father, a pastor, was nearing the end of his eight-month transition from senior pastor to interim pastor to layperson. This lengthy process involved numerous churches across Oklahoma as well as the unfortunate loss of several friendships. Luckily, the Bible Quiz team became a source of new friendships that helped me through the tough transition.
Bethel Baptist Church never encountered a challenge like this before. The church accepted an invitation to participate in a mission in Shawnee, Oklahoma. Making an appearance in a foreign environment terrified both adolescents and adults. Even with those uneasy feelings, the congregation quickly zeroed in on the goal at hand in spreading God’s love to this needy region. With events such as church cleanup, food ministry, and disaster relief, the church left with a greater appreciation of life, and how lucky many of the citizens in the United States truly are.

Becki Hawkins’ story about Brother Tolbert, a Pentecostal Minister, hit home with me. He was an elderly gentleman who had heart and lung damage from chemo and radiation. She went to visit him by request of his second wife. While Becki was with Brother Tolbert, he asked her if she could get him into his bed so he could look out at the church and an old tree right outside of the window.

He soon joined an organization and has spent the past eight years in Latin America helping others while teaching Christianity. In the previous statement, the missionary attempted to appeal to the congregation through ethos. He discussed seminary school and his missionary experience in order to establish credibility as a trustworthy man of God.

Coming from a different culture but still embracing the Christian values that Loma Linda University emphasizes, I believe that my unique background and personal experiences distinguish my application from others. Growing up in Egypt, where the gap between social classes is significant, my parents always stressed the need to prioritize service into my life encouraging me to dedicate time in volunteering and helping others. As a result, my experience has grown from volunteering to serve as a camp leader for orphans in the summer to participating in international dental service trips. These involvements would allow me to use my skills in organizing missions trips at Loma Linda. Being a Coptic Orthodox Christian enables me to add diversity to the
