To really grow in every area of my life all while getting to enjoy God's beautiful creation in Utah! What do you hope God will teach you throughout this year? How to be bold in my faith when sharing the Gospel as well as being truly set apart in the workplace so that God is glorified through my work. In 1 sentence, what is your life mission statement?

McKenzie Hamlin
College: Appalachian State University Degree: B.A. Exercise Science Current Employer: Youth City Job Title: Teen Specialist What are you most excited about the Salt Lake Fellows? To live in and engage with this city and its culture. At my job, I am a minority and I love that I get to experience what that is like. I am excited about being around people who are different than me and learning how to love them. I am so excited to witness how the Lord is moving and working in Salt Lake and within the other Fellows. What do you hope God will teach you throughout this year? How to be bold in my faith and how to proclaim the Gospel in a way that is not prideful or boastful but in a way that humbly points to the feet of Jesus. I hope that throughout this year I will learn how to be constantly aware of the Lord’s presence not just in my own life but in others lives as well.
