In bible class we have been learning about how God, thought out his life, has prepared Paul to be a great missionary to people all around. One big thing that Saul had was money. His family was wealthy. From that, he was able to have a many things most people could not afford. One was a private tutor. He was had a teacher from Gamaliel (Acts 22:3). From having that opportunity, Saul was very smart. He also was trained to be a pharisee as they were very respected at the time. So when Saul was converted to Paul he had a lot of scripture old testament knowledge, new many languages and was smart. Something that was very helpful to Paul was that he had two citizenships. Jewish and Roman. From being able to have both and since the Romans were in power, Paul was able to get out of a few situations due to the people scared the romans would concur them.

Through Saul’s past, we can see God has been leading him up to be the great missionary Paul. God is also working through my life. One way he has prepared me is by living in a christian home and spending most of my time in a Christian community. I now have been able to grow in my faith and walk with Christ a lot as I have been influenced my whole life around strong believers. Another thing that I’m hopping affects my view of the world is the Mexico learning trip I am going on. I hope I can realize how much we have and be able to live differently through this up coming experience.
