What if you could take a leap of faith and set out on an adventure that profoundly affects not only you but also your family? 
In this episode a Canadian couple, Joel and Audrey, share how they did just that. They took their five children, aged between 3 to 15, on a family mission trip to Mexico – a journey that was about much more than just the adventure itself.  In spite of some initial concerns and challenges, it was a voyage of spiritual growth, of forming a powerful family bond, and of spreading the love of Christ.

Joel, a pediatrician, and Audrey, a dentist, share their story with a candidness that is both inspiring and moving. They talk about their initial fears – the disturbing news stories about the dangers in Mexico, the practicalities of traveling with a toddler, and the physical and emotional challenges they anticipated. Yet, they chose to trust in their faith and step out of their comfort zone. Listen to their experiences of praying in the emergency room, doing things they have never done before, and the incredible impact of their mission on their children. Joel's personal faith journey from Buddhism to Christianity and Audrey's - from atheism to Christianity highlights the cycle of the Great Commission- "changed lives change lives".

The trip to Mexico was just the beginning. Audrey, a dentist and a busy mom of five,  discovered her spiritual gift of evangelism during the mission, and their children were deeply influenced by the experience. If you've been wondering about embarking on a mission trip with your family, Joel and Audrey's story will provide much-needed inspiration and guidance.
