Jamie Finch

My name is Jamie Finch and I am from Saint Louis, Missouri. I am nineteen years old as I write this, but will be twenty by the time of the trip. I love creativity because God is a creative God and He rejoices in finding His attributes displayed in His children. I love to write, sew, take pictures, listen to and make music, and wish desperately that I knew how to paint. I am a book addict and read any time I get the chance- unfortunately, I am awful at finishing the books I start so I am usually reading about six at a time. I guess I could also tell you that my passion is loving the least in the best ways I know how. Over the past few years of my life, I finally opened myself up to let Christ teach me about the things that truly wreck his heart, and to be completely honest, sometimes I wish I never had. Reimagining the world is not a very comfortable thing to do, but I just can’t live any other way. Often times I find myself overwhelmed with the desire to serve those that Christ came for and became Himself- the poor, oppresssed, suffering, captive, and neglected. Jesus is absolutely everything to me and I try to live in a way that shows Him to be supremely satisfying. My desire is to seek His Kingdom and bring His Kingdom into the places where it is the most difficult to imagine.
