Yes, it can be amazing, but there are times that you will be tested as well. Working cross-culturally and learning to live in a new environment can be challenging. But when you are serving the Lord, satan wants to step in and make you feel as though you can’t do it or aren’t good enough. That is where having a strong relationship with the Lord is critical so that when satan attacks, you will be ready. Coming with an open mind and can-do attitude and willingness to meet new people will allow you to have the most fun you could imagine.
