This adventure is going to be unlike anything I have ever experienced…while I do have many expectations; I truly want to go into it expecting the unexpected…


Here are some of my “unexpected expectations�


  • I expect to fall deeper in love with Jesus and to grow more abundantly in my knowledge of His character.
  • I expect to love the children of this world.
  • I expect to be broken.
  • I expect to try food that I never would have thought of eating.
  • I expect to grow in my flexibility and patience.
  • I expect to miss my family, friends and dogs back home.
  • I expect to come home with a new family in Christ.
  • I expect to fall in love with the people in each country I go to.
  • I expect to question.
  • I expect to see the Glory of God in powerful ways.
  • I expect this to be the hardest thing I’ve done thus far. 
  • I expect to be perpetually smelly and dirty…
  • I expect to create awareness of issues happening in the world.
  • I expect to learn to say “Jesus loves youâ€� in 11 languages.
  • I expect to change.
