Expectations
Alright family—this is bigger than a trip. This is a mission.
A moment that few get. You’re not just going to China—you’re representing something greater than yourself.
So let’s lock in.
Prayer
Prayer isn’t optional—it’s our foundation. Stay prayed up, stay unified. Because when we pray together, we don’t just connect with God, we connect with each other. And trust me, there will be moments when we'll need both. Prayer keeps us grounded and flowing in the same spirit.
Plan
This ain’t the time to be scrambling. READ!!!!!! Be early to call times. Know where your passport & visa is at all times. Keep your phone charged and your things in order. Know the schedule. READ!!!!!! We can’t afford to be delayed because someone didn’t plan. The little things become big things on international trips. Honor the time and the team.
Patience
Patience is going to be key—because this trip will stretch us. You’ll encounter new smells, different food, language barriers, and even temperatures that may throw you off. Add jet lag and tight schedules, and it’s easy to get irritated.
But remember: your personal goal should be to serve the whole and agenda. That means being flexible, understanding, and willing to follow the itinerary—even when you’d rather explore, grab coffee, or do your own thing. If we have to wait on you or adjust for you, it slows the mission down. Don’t be that person.
Be patient with the process, patient with each other, and patient with yourself. Empathy will go a long way.
Presentation
Do your music homework. Know your lyrics and transitions. But beyond the stage, presentation is how you carry yourself—how you speak, how you dress, and how you treat others.
This isn’t just about singing well. We’re stepping into a country that does not claim Christ, which means everything we dois a chance to be a light. The way we walk, talk, and even respond under pressure says something.
So let your character, speech, and spirit reflect the love of Jesus—because we’re not just representing our school or team… we’re representing Him.
Professionalism
Every one of you was handpicked—not just because you can sing, but because you’ve shown maturity. We expect you to know how to balance fun with focus. This isn’t just a trip—it’s a trust. You’re representing more than yourself, so carry yourself with wisdom and self-awareness.
We’re expecting you to rise to the occasion—to think before you speak, move with purpose, and carry yourself in a way that honors the opportunity. This moment requires your best, on and off the stage.
