More about YAGM
The Young Adults in Global Mission program is part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church or America. Their concept of mission is mission through service. The intention is to accompany our brothers and sisters around the world so that we can each learn more about each other and grow together. It is about growing in global community. YAGM has relationships with communities all over the world including Mexico, Argentina/Uruguay, Central Europe, Southern Africa, Australia, Senegal, Cambodia, Rwanda, the UK, Madagascar, and Jerusalem/West Bank. I feel called to go to Mexico in the same way that I feel called to the immigration crisis in the United States and called to combat this wave of isolationism. My hope is to be immersed and embrace the Mexican people, dialect, and culture so that I can better connect with the Mexican and Latino populations in the United States and hopefully help them to feel more welcome wherever they are.
