Missions is my passion. I love going on missions trips, leading them and talking about them. I went on first mission trip when I was a sophomore in college. I spent 10 weeks in Mexico City. It was the most amazing time of my life.
It was great to get a good look at what missions really was and how the people responded to the missionaries and to the message of Jesus. I was so moved by what God was doing, that after my sophomore year I decided to change my major.
I had caught the mission "bug". To this date I have been on over 20 mission trips. I was amazed by how many people have not heard about Jesus. I wanted to help bring that message to the people of all nations. I understood what I read in Matthew 28:19. There is a command there that we all should fulfill. That verse talks about two types of participants, goers and senders.
Which one are you? Are you willing to go on a mission trip? Would you rather give money to missionaries? Decide which one you are and get to work. We have a long way to go in fulfilling this command. We must pray about our part and just do it.
Next Spring I am leading a trip to Thessaloniki, Greece. It will be a great opportunity not just to bring the Word of God to the people there, but also to walk in the footsteps of Paul and others in the Bible. What an amazing setting for bringing the Good News, Thessaloniki.
If Greece does not spark your interest, please see this website for information on trips to Albania, Germany, Belgium, Austria, Spain, Lithuania and Hungary. Missions is an important part of our lives as believers in Christ. Pray about your part, are you going or sending. Go connect with all nations.
