A mission trip rarely starts with confidence. It starts with a question you can’t shake, a nudge from a friend, and a decision to put your yes on the table even while your stomach is doing flips. We’re joined by Andrea (our associate youth minister) plus Sloan and Henley, two students who just took their first trip to the Yucatan near Cancun, Mexico and came home changed.

We talk about what it actually feels like to say yes when you don’t know everyone going, don’t speak Spanish, and can’t fully picture what you’ll be asked to do. Then we get specific: serving alongside long-term missionaries and local pastors connected with YWAM, encouraging families through home visits and prayer, supporting Kingdom Academy, and stepping into real work that ranges from planting trees to building sidewalks. Andrea also explains the “god-sized” Noah’s Ark project, a long-range vision that includes a clinic, a church, and housing designed to support foster children and families.

The most powerful moments aren’t just the tasks, though. We share how worship in two languages reshaped our perspective on struggle, how vulnerability around a circle helped every voice matter, and why short-term missions works best when we show up to come alongside rather than arrive as fixers. If you’ve been on the fence about missions, this conversation gives you an honest look at the fear, the joy, and the faith on the other side.

If this encouraged you, subscribe, share it with a friend who needs a push to say yes, and leave a review so more people can find these stories of God at work.
