We were asked to write a blog about how we felt before leaving on this mission trip. Here is what I’m expecting…

  • To share the love and word of our Savior Jesus Christ
  • To lead others to Christ
  • To see miracles of God
  • To be completely broken and cleansed for God
  • To be molded into the man God wants me to be
  • To seek the Lord more and more every day
  • To completely surrender my life to Jesus Christ
  • To serve and encourage others
  • To make a difference in people’s life through Jesus
  • To never want to leave each country we go to
  • To want to return and open up a church, orphanage or safe house
  • To want to save and help everyone we minister to
  • To spend time in Gods word
  • To do things that I wouldn’t normally do
  • To be challenged beyond all my capabilities so that there is nothing left but to absolutely rely on Jesus
  • To have an experience of a lifetime
  • To feel more alive than I have ever felt before
  • To grow in faith
  • To expect the unexpected
  • To meet new people and experience new cultures
  • To miss the comforts of home
  • To miss my family and friends
  • And to be forever changed
