Those moments that make every sacrifice worth it:

  • The look on the woman’s face after receiving groceries
  • That hug from the beautiful girl with down syndrome
  • Sitting under the stars with amazing people
  • Acting out the gospel in front of church, then realizing it was broadcasted to the whole city
  • Realizing that giving everything up for eleven months, doesn’t even come close to what these people have to go through every day
  • Waking up to a beautiful view, with beautiful people, who are all serving the same beautiful God
