BECOME... An Encourager

Hi, I’m Laura and I hope to become a continual encourager. To encourage means to “give support, confidence or hope to someone.” Looking back on my life, I vividly remember the people who encouraged me at different times and can see how much I grew as a result. God has put encouragement on my heart and I want to be intentional about sharing uplifting words with my brothers and sisters in Christ. I seek to be in tune with the people God brings into my life. I want to get to know them deeply so I can recognize and encourage their gifts and offer support during difficult times.

God desires to give us a spirit of unity. Encouraging one another helps us grow closer together and visible unity among believers shows the world that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior. BECOME Network has allowed me to encourage my brothers and sisters in Christ as we gather together to share the gospel with our city. I am incredibly thankful for the work God is doing in the lives of young adults in Dallas and cannot wait to see what else He has in store.

May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had, so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
-Romans 15:5-6
