What words of advice would you give someone who is about to depart on their first missions experience?: If you’re having trouble getting your money in, just trust God, and He’ll provide. Don’t be afraid to approach people and ask them for money. It’s not for you, after all, it’s for God! Once you’re there, you may encounter hard days, but just trust God, and when you see the results of your labor, it will all be worth it.
