For each Uptick cohort member, one of the most meaningful and memorable parts of the journey is crafting and sharing their Future Story—their story of what’s next. Through prayerful reflection and holy imagination, participants look three years ahead and envision how and where God may be calling them to serve and lead. As they do, they consider how their five capitals can be stewarded to make a lasting impact in this future to which God is calling them.

Below is the future story of Lucy Guevarra, a member of the 2024-2025 Uptick Global: ABWU cohort.
