Oh WOW. What a huuuuuge blessing and amazing opportunity! I will of course pray for you, because yes, this is about to get uncomfortable.
I had an opportunity to go backpacking in Yellowstone in college. Like FAR OUT in Yellowstone, nothing touristy. We’d be out there for 12 days. TOTALLY out of my comfort zone–I didn’t know anyone in the group! The night before I was as white as a sheet and my mom looked at me and said “You don’t have to go if you don’t want to. We can get the money back–it’s OKAY.” I mean, I never even went away to camp as a kid so I understood her concern. But I looked at her with complete sincerity and said “I don’t want to go, but if I don’t? I’ll regret it for the rest of my life.” Such was the pull I felt to do it.
And I came back a totally different and happier person. It literally changed my life.
As I’m sure this trip will do for you. Can’t wait to hear all about it!

Oh my gosh, I am SO excited for you! I have been reading Kristen’s stories all week and have been so MOVED. I would LOVE to go on such a journey.
I will absolutely be praying for you!!

wow, that is SO exciting! (i’m jealous!) Looking forward to hearing about it.
So many people I know are going on mission trips – I’m a wee bit jealous. But I know I’m called to stay here at home for now, so there is joy in being where I’m called to be… But still, my SiL going to ecuador, a friend going to china, and you going to the DR. anyways, awesome! Congrats and I’m happy for you, it’s a great opportunity.

That is absolutely awesome, incredible, and all those big words in-between. To be able to meet your sponsored child…wow…I am excited myself to see what God has in store for you. My family sponsors two children through Compassion also- Philippines and Uganda. I hope for the opportunity to visit them someday.
Prayers for you, your fellow travel bloggers, and your family. GOD BLESS!!!!
[Reply]
I am so excited for you I can hardly stand it! You are going to be so blessed in your service and your interactions; I just know God will be busy on this trip!
I will start praying now! Much love and hope!!
[Reply]
My bro & sis-in-law are missionaries in the DR–we never mind visiting them on “the field”! God is doing great work there–you will thoroughly love visiting the country and people. And how amazing to get to meet your sponsored child/teen!
[Reply]
wow what an adventure! Have you ever been to the Dominican republic? I have..at a resort of course..but getting to that resort takes you through some pretty devastating places. I hope you get to meet your sponsor child. That would be amazing! Good luck!

That’s so cool! I can’t wait to hear all about it. I hope someday I have the same opportunity, we’ve sponsored a boy from India through Compassion International for the past 4 years, and before him we had another little boy for 8 years. I will be praying…

2 Thing—-I would love to know the name of the bible study about “casual christians”.

I am so proud of you and excited about this journey God has planned for you. He has called you and He will equip you. Maybe one day we will get to take a Mother/daughter mission trip.
[Reply]
Jill, that’s awesome. Congratulations on getting to take this opportunity. I’m a World Vision girl too and after going to India in November to pick up my new niece from her orphanage, I couldn’t help but think that I’d love to go to Ghana someday to meet my WV child too. Looking forward to hearing all about it!

How cool is that? Can I suggest you read the book “Serving with Eyes Wide Open” by Davis Livermore before you go? You can borrow one of my copies if you like It will really help put things into perspective, especially if you have not come face to face with that level of poverty before.

Thank you, I would appreciate it.

I am so excited you decided to go! I will be praying for you as the date gets closer and closer. I’m also glad that you are demonstrating what our Bible study has been encouraging us to be — uncomfortable with being “comfortable Christians.”
Blessings Jill!

I am so excited to hear that World Vision is taking bloggers on a mission trip! I too fell in love with World Vision about 10 years ago but I’m pretty sure it was at a Skillet concert! I can’t wait to follow your journey.

Rock on, Jill! How cool. (Thought I’d tip the gender scale on your comments here and see if I show up with a girly avatar as well.)
