In this episode of Going the MILE: Stories of Calling and Ministry in the Greater Northwest, Bishop Cedrick Bridgeforth speaks with Nica Sy, a Seattle-based organizer whose faith was shaped at Beacon United Methodist Church and the Filipino youth camp, Christmas Institute. From her roots in church community to her work with Anakbayan Seattle, Nica shares how faith led her from service projects to organizing for justice alongside Filipino youth and migrants.

Her story embodies the spirit of the MILE. Ministry that Matters takes shape in the fight for dignity and freedom. Itineration and Location remind us that God’s call transcends borders, from Seattle to Manila. Lay Ministry Enhancement lives through her organizing work that uplifts everyday people, and Eliminating Racism shines in her advocacy for human rights and liberation for all.
