Call to missions/ expectations

Hey Everyone!
Thanks for being so great at posting all of your expectations for the trip and your call to missions, I am so excited to be learning so much about each of you! I thought I might tell you about my call to missions and expectations for the trip as well. so here you go 🙂

Call to missions:
I have always had a heart for missions. The way that I see it is that God has blessed each of so much, and that it is our call to give back. God has been so good to us, the least we can do is give back in whatever way possible. There is something about missions that really blesses me, and I love the feeling that it brings. I have not had too many opportunities to do missions overseas, but I am hoping to do more in my future. I have gone to Guatemala twice, and it was an amazing experience. As you read in my bio, I am going into a career of teaching, which I see as a way to do missions as well. I see teaching English as a way to minister to high school students. I love sharing with students through literature and writing the ways in which God works in this world. Missions is a huge passion for me, and I am so excited to spend time with all of you doing missions in Jamaica!

Expectations:
I have a lot of expectations for this trip, and I hope that you do as well. I am expecting that God will use this trip in amazing ways. One of my prayers is that God will use this trip, and the people we encounter to show me how I need to depend on Him. I tend to think that I can do a lot of things on my own (something I am trying to work on), God has really been using the prep. for this trip to show me already how much I need to fully rely on Him for everything in life. I expect that God is going to teach me a lot during our time surrounding the trip, and while we are actually in Jamaica. I also expect to learn a lot about all of you, and through that create relationships as brothers and sisters in Christ together. I expect to grow closer to God during this trip, and to learn to depend on Him more. I know that there is plenty of other expectations that I have, and some that I don’t even know about yet, and I am sure that God will teach me all sorts of things through this experience.

I hope that helps to give you some more information about me, if you have any questions, feel free to ask. I am blessed through all of you already, and I cant wait to get to know you in person! Let me know if there is anything I can do for you in the meantime! Thanks!

Leah 🙂
