Shownotes

Deb Baliko and Rebecca Pratt dive into the spiritual, emotional, and practical preparation needed before heading overseas—especially on mission trips with Orphan Relief and Rescue.

✨ Key Topics Discussed:

• Surrendering the trip fully to God before departure

• Using Rebecca’s Mission Trip Ultimate Guidebook as a spiritual preparation tool

• Trusting God’s timing, even through unexpected delays

• Staying flexible with plans and open to divine appointments during travel

• Why mission trip lessons apply to vacations and everyday travel too

💡 Memorable Takeaways:

“Sometimes the delay is the ministry.”

“Preparation isn’t just packing bags—it’s preparing your heart.”

“God’s plans often unfold in the unexpected moments.”

This episode is an encouragement for anyone preparing to travel, serve, or simply trust God more deeply in uncertain seasons.
