One of the biggest joys about getting prepared for this trip is telling others about it.
I have such a strong passion for what I am about to do with my life, and trust me it isn’t one of my easiest routes I chose. I finally have come to realize that this is who I am. I am going to always stand out even with my actions (11 countries,11 months) that isn’t the norm. I have learned a lot about myself by getting involved in missions. I have already been through so many trials and situations that have definitely taught me things i personally needed, to grow and mature. I am starting to truly understand the definition of Faith. Faith goes such a long way and that is what makes a believer a Believer. I had to ask God to forgive me for not trusting Him with my life. Even the little stuff, God is always there to help us along the way. Having Faith in something you cannot see and trying to understand why things go that way. That is why my one prayer in this whole entire trip is for people to hear my passion, to help and touch their lives. Not only to the people i am going to physically be around but to the ones who can hear my story and read my blogs about MY passion.
I am blown away at how many stories i hear from people that are on my route who are getting blessed with raising the money. My group is so serious about helping other people and doing what they are called to do, to sell basically everything they own to sacrifice it for the Lord. I mean he did Sacrifice his son for us, so why couldn’t we do the same? Don’t get me wrong it really is not easy to put your life on hold for a whole year, leaving your life, your comfort zone, your house, friends and family. This isn’t a vacation, it is a lifestyle and its a lifestyle I truly desire. I want to help people and serve others. I want to be different, and things may not go according to plan and situations may back fire in your face but in the end we (I) have to realize its just the way God has it planned out. There have been several things that did not go my way at all, and I had to fully have that faith to understand it just wasn’t suppose to happen at that time, and in return God has been giving me SO many awesome opportunities to network for this trip! I have been beyond blessed with raising money for my trip! I still have a lot to go but not once have i really sat down and worried that the money isn’t going to show up. Ok maybe there was one time
but as soon as i felt discouraged someone blessed me with a donation. I have been receiving so much support its unbelievable! I want to personally thank every single person who has supported me!
So all in all, This is my calling and I am going to put that faith out there to believe that I will succeed and I will succeed with style! 
Be Blessed,
Margaret D Poch
