A Decade of Transformation: How One Mission Trip Changed Everything

In 2014, I had no idea that a single decision would radically transform my life. That year, I embarked on my first international mission trip with Adventures in Missions to Haiti. I thought I was going to serve others, to be a blessing in a new place, but what I didn’t anticipate was how deeply God would work in me.

As I reflect on the last decade, there’s one verse that comes to mind: “God will do exceedingly abundantly above all we could ask, think, or imagine” (Ephesians 3:20). That’s exactly what He did in Haiti—and it’s what He’s been doing ever since.

A Life-Altering Revelation

During those seven days, I witnessed God’s hand in incredible ways. I saw lives being touched, hearts being healed, and communities experiencing hope in ways I couldn’t have imagined. But perhaps the biggest surprise was how much God shifted something within me.

In the midst of serving, I had a revelation: God had a plan for my life that was far bigger and more beautiful than anything I had ever dreamed of. He was inviting me to be part of the work He was already doing – to seek out the lost, the lonely, and the forgotten.

That first trip lit a fire in my heart. It opened my eyes to a world of purpose I hadn’t seen before, and it set me on a path of ongoing adventure with God. Haiti wasn’t just a trip – it was the starting point of a journey that has shaped my faith and my future.

Finding Direction and Purpose

Over the past ten years, God has continued to move in ways that have exceeded my wildest expectations. What began as a single step of obedience turned into a lifelong pursuit of walking with God and serving others. Each mission trip I’ve participated in has only deepened my faith, challenged my perspective, and strengthened my calling.

For me, missions have been a place of growth, both spiritually and personally. It’s been a way to live out my faith in tangible ways, bringing the love of Jesus to people and places I never thought I’d encounter. But more than that, missions have been a space where God has revealed His heart for the world – and His heart for me.
