Reagan
Reagan is from Swampscott, MA (a small coastal town just north of Boston) and graduated from the Catholic University of America in 2013 with a B.A. in English Language and Literature. From there, she went on to do a year of service in Syracuse, NY where she worked in a food pantry and soup kitchen. It was in Syracuse that she felt the Lord calling her to full-time missions. She entered Intake 2015. Reagan feels St. Pope John Paul II says it best, “Life with Christ is a wonderful adventure.”
!["Our decision to stay [in Peru] despite the lack of decent healthcare may be puzzling to some. To us, there’s no fear or worry over what could happen if we caught the virus, and it’s not because we aren’t aware of the potential severity of it. Our decision is based on what we hear the Lord say now, and what He has spoken to us in the past as we discerned the call to foreign mission work, and throughout our first year as FMC missionaries. What we have heard Him say is that if we choose to answer this call to bring the love of Christ to the poor, we can trust in Him and in His Providential, Fatherly care.⠀

"We don’t interpret that as meaning we’ll never get hurt or sick or suffer in a variety of ways. In fact, we fully embraced the fact that we absolutely would get sick with different illnesses common to the area we live in, and that accidents would happen to us just like anyone else, and that this call would require suffering.⠀
â €
"When the Lord promised we could trust in Him and in His Providential, Fatherly care, what that means to us is that we don’t have to be afraid or worry about any obstacle, trial, or tribulation that may come our way because nothing will happen that God doesn’t allow. And if He allows us to suffer in various ways, all praise and glory to Him! Because 'it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for him.' (Philippians 1:29)."⠀
