God calls all to his mission of justice, mercy
and humbleness. The call comes in many different forms, requiring many
different types of service throughout the world. Ben Wickstrom is excited to
answer God’s call in his life. He has been accepted for service as a short-term
missionary with Covenant World Missions, a part of the Evangelical Covenant
Church. For one year, he will be serving in Oaxaca, Mexico, by partnering with
Oaxaca Covenant Churches and with other missionaries and organizations. At Sojourner, Ben was involved with the worship team, helped with Children's Church, led a Young Adult Bible Study, and was a regular volunteer with Cafe Sojourner.
