You have no idea what's coming [Alison's story]

Alison continues her story with Joel and Brayden, sharing ten years as missionaries in Austria. From landing in minus 18-degree weather with two young kids to memorable language learning mishaps (like asking for a "home snake test"), she reflects on the challenges and joys of cross-cultural ministry. Alison shares how simple relationships - like Wednesday afternoon coffee visits - became seeds of gospel growth, watching local leaders rise up to lead the church they helped establish. Returning to Australia brought unexpected struggles as their third-culture kids wrestled with identity and belonging. Through pastoral ministry years to finding their place at Soul Revival, Alison's story encourages trusting God's timing through every season and embracing the unexpected journey He has planned.
