Tales From Abroad: JAM Summer 2015
I used to think I wanted to pick a bunch of fights for the sake of justice. Now I think the task of justice is not so much to knock things down as it is to understand.
Tales From Abroad: JAM Summer 2015
JAM has provided me with the ability to speak about other worldviews in a more nuanced way. Before this trip, I had very little understanding of both Catholicismand Islam. I believed that this was a detriment to myself and to my understanding of other people groups...
Tales From Abroad: Leipzig Germany 2015
This summer, I spent all of June in Leipzig Germany. It was truly a life changing experience. I instantly fell in love with the city, the culture, the food, and the people. Since I have been back, so many people have asked me what my favorite part was. I could tell...
Tales From Abroad: JAM Summer 2015
Justice Along the Meridian has been an incredible, eye-opening experience that has without a doubt changed everyone who was able to go on the trip. I know for myself that my conceptualization of religion, faith, and what it means to participate in the world has...
Tales From Abroad: JAM Summer 2015
The world is broken yet so beautiful, and I hope to search for God in everything, for He is everywhere. Above all else, I need to love others well. I’m still trying to figure out what that means and how to do that, but I think that love will ultimately win.

Differences in Cultures

Studying Abroad with No Regrets!
I think I could live in Europe forever. Europe holds a special kind of magic for me. From London, to Paris, to Spain, and back to Oxford, I’d do it all again in a heartbeat. I spent 106 magical days in the fall of 2014 traveling to places I had only ever read...
Enjoying moments abroad
Whilst abroad I learned several things, one being how much being in a foreign country affects you. I really didn't realize this until I got home and I caught myself saying things like, "In Britain the fruit is fresher and cheaper," or "In Britain everyone gets free...
I am so glad I studied abroad in China because it changed my view of Asian cultures and has even made me consider going back. I definitely recommend stretching yourself and going to a place you never imagined yourself being in because you’ll learn a lot about yourself and about the world.
A huge “THANK YOU!” to the Honor’s College for giving me a Travel Grant and lessening the financial burden of Study Abroad! This semester would not have been possible without you!
You cannot remain unchanged after a journey such as this. God is constantly shaping and refining us to be more Christ-like ambassadors for His kingdom. I am not the same person who left Dallas, and with God’s grace, I have a new appreciation and understanding for engaging His global mission.
