As you leave on your journey
fears, wonders, the unknown
may try to discourage you.
Many years of preparation
loving, learning, forgiving
are behind you and yet to come.
Put on your Armor,
hold tight to your Faith,
Protect your soul.
Reach out and teach
words, actions, spirit
the Wondrous Story.
God's speed, my brother,
safety, mission, return
are my prayers!
