I hope to…
- see others as God sees them.
- loose all sense of time and begin to think eternally.
- be a willing vessel so God can use me.
- completely abandon my own desires for my life, sacrificing all for the sake of the Gospel.
- learn what it means to die to oneself.
- grow more than I thought possible.
- learn more about myself, so I can become the person God intended me to be.
- use my gifts and talents for God’s kingdom.
- be a daily encouragement to my teammates.
- laugh uncontrollably everyday.
- live like there’s no tomorrow.
- experience one of the best years of my life.
I expect to…
- struggle with dying to self.
- be stretched beyond what I think is possible.
- discover parts of myself I never new existed, the good and the bad.
- be broken for the people of this world.
- vividly experience God’s presence.
- witness the power of prayer.
- see God’s blessings poured out on His people.
- witness healings and other miracles.
- grow so close to my team that they become family.
- fall in love with my new family and wonder how I ever got along without them.
- live uncomfortably and be grateful for the little things.
- see weird bugs and exotic animals.
- see, smell, and experience things I never imagined.
I know I’ll…
- want to try new foods and drinks.
- experience new and exciting cultures.
- see and experience God’s amazing creation.
- be pushed out of my comfort zone.
- feel helpless at times.
- experience God like I have never imagined.
- miss my family and friends more than I ever thought possible.
- be changed more in 11 months than I have my entire life.
- be a different person after this trip.
