Taking my family on a mission trip next summer

Wife and I are planning to take our three kids down to Central America next summer to work with an orphanage. Our oldest is nervous about missing time with friends but we really feel God calling us to show our kids what generosity and service look like in the real world. Hoping this shapes their faith more than any Sunday school lesson could. Anyone done anything similar? Tips appreciated.

That's awesome you're doing this as a family. Your oldest will get it once you're there and see the impact you're making together. Those trips change kids' perspectives.

This is incredible. Your kids are going to remember this forever. My wife and I talk about doing something similar, so props for actually making it happen.

The nervousness is totally normal but also shows your oldest has a good heart. By next summer they'll probably be the one most excited about it.
