Their minds were blown by the sheer diversity of God’s church and His incredible work across the globe, just as mine had been. Along the way, God knit them together into a cohesive team. When we asked for volunteers for even the hardest of tasks, there was never a shortage of hands. Each night, during family time, they lifted one another up, shared what they’d seen the Lord do, and laughed and cried together. As we walked alongside them, guided them, and pushed them to do hard things, we saw a marked difference in their faith from the beginning to the end of the trip. They experienced radical transformation in their view of missions, the gospel, and the church. They were changed. It encouraged me to see these students experiencing the same things God had taught me on my own trip. Missions will never cease to be an incredibly vital part of the young Christian’s life, and this trip was a potent reminder.
