So I’m really wanting to go on a mission trip to south America with my youth group at church this summer but my mom is not happy about it at all. I’ll be 18 so ya know technically I’ll be able to go regardless of what she thinks and I’m intending on going either way but I would like for her to be okay with it. I’m really into mission work and I’ve done a lot here inside the U.S. but I’m really ready to get out into other places and impact peoples lives.

This is a tough one, when I went to volunteer in Nicaragua my whole family thought I was crazy. "You want to go WHERE and VOLUNTEER for FOUR weeks?! WHY?!?" I didn’t go to them for approval. And really, you don’t need any approval but from God. There are many many many people who don’t understand why you are doing what you are doing and don’t understand the need for international volunteers. You have been called to do this and your mother may not understand this until you return from your trip, hopefully.
There is a critical need for mission work in poor countries and not everyone has the opportunity to see what poverty really is. America is not reality, you need to experience it first hand. There needs to be more people like you in this world!
You have been called to do this, you may not win everyone over, but it’s okay because it’s YOU not them. Please go on this trip and have an amazing time! I’ll pray for you
