We were asked to write a blog about how we felt before leaving on this mission trip. Here is what I’m expecting….
I am extremely excited about embarking on this adventure with the Ambassadors team and the anticipation grows each and every day! Questions run through my mind all the time about the trip.
Will I be able to get all of the financial support raised in time? What will the flight to Georgia be like? I’ve never been on a plane before, and I’m really looking forward to it! Will I get homesick while out of the country, or will it be like summer camp (where I’m so busy I don’t have time to even think of my family back home)? How will God use me to minister to the people there? Will I be working with people of all ages there, or in a select age group? What will the living conditions be like? Where will the team be staying while in the DR? Will I be sick and tired of peanut butter by the end of the month? Will I be able to return to “normal” life after this trip? There is a portion in the “road of life” that I’m not quite able to see, but I know that it will be an adventure!
My prayer request for this trip include:
- As the time to leave draws nearer, I’m the type of person to start stressing about things that are completely out of my control. Please pray that God will give me a spirit of peace so that I can relax and let him take care of it.
- Please pray that I will be able to raise the enough financial support.
- Please pray that God will give me a submissive heart to listen to him and do what he calls me to do.
I am expecting that God will change my life forever after this trip, and I’m exstatic about it!
Hey!Those questions are like exactly what I’m asking. I just got accepted today[March 10th] and I have to raise all of this money by then!So nervous. But I’m excited to meet everyone!
Hannah,
Those are all valid questions…even we leaders ask those questions! Here’s what I DO know…we may ALL be sick of peanut butter by the end of the trip, but I’m positive you will go home happy and full of new direction for your life!
