I just went on my first one last summer and I am going again this summer (Lord-willing if course:) and it has changed me in so many ways. I know the Lord will use you greatly through this! Mission trips are such a great opportunity to grow closer to the Lord, get to know others in a deeper&more meaningful way, and be able to serve! <br><br>I will pray for you! can't wait to hear more about this exciting adventure God has given you! <br>(and it's always nice to have friends come on our adventures with us isn't it?! how fun!)<br><br>oh and flying, no biggie;) I used to be SO afraid (and my dad has worked with the airlines my whole life haha) and the Lord helped me overcome that fear of flying:) I have flown about ten times in the past year and it's totally safe and I find it like super fun now:D <br><br>btw i'm a new follower (who just left like a super long comment, nice. ;) haha) and I love your sweet blog:D <br>Kelsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06920784168790491831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7939335907276254307.post-86880790709524961192013-01-25T11:01:32.859-08:002013-01-25T11:01:32.859-08:00Yay! I'm so happy to hear this. It's been ...Yay! I'm so happy to hear this. It's been in my heart to be a missionary since I was six or seven reading about them in my history books. Once I got older the thought of giving up these luxuries seemed appalling. This November, God rekindled the desire in my heart to serve others outside of my home. He placed a special burden in my heart for Central America, more specifically, El Salvador, where my dad is from. I want to work with the children of that country. The only country I consider my second home. However, I'm only 15, and most missions (like you mentioned) require you to be a minimum age of sixteen. So until then I, serving in my own home and those God happens to put in my path on my many travels. Ill be praying for you, Olivia. May God bless you as you serve Him! I can't wait to see what He'll do through you. Looking forward to reading follow up posts about Africa :) xxNatalia Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01705594341140422319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7939335907276254307.post-83040307574669452922013-01-25T09:08:38.474-08:002013-01-25T09:08:38.474-08:00God pressed the desire on my heart for a missions ...God pressed the desire on my heart for a missions about a year back and since then he lead me to Poland once and I am going back again this summer. So reading about him placing this desire in others hearts is so encouraging. <br>It's an uncertain journey, and it can frighten me when I think of becoming a full time missionary one day, but I can't wait to see where he leads :)<br><br>Can't wait to hear more about Africa!Neeleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03821558218361451079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7939335907276254307.post-25831021640654938872013-01-25T09:08:19.588-08:002013-01-25T09:08:19.588-08:00YAY :) so so so excited for you and the incredible...YAY :) so so so excited for you and the incredible things that God will use you for! this trip will change your life. for real. excited to pray with you and see how God will work! :) Jessica Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17905959649618494403noreply@blogger.com
