Missions are not about us, and will never be about what we can do to change lives. Missions are about learning more about who God is, and most importantly, being obedient. We care called to go, therefore we should go. God, in no way, needs us to go on mission trips in order to fulfill His ultimate mission. We go because we are commanded to. The more we begin to think we can develop a 'strategy' for a perfect mission trip (length, place, partnership, etc...) the more dangerous this becomes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5118517190489901866.post-15195843016367967782014-03-05T23:02:39.424+03:002014-03-05T23:02:39.424+03:00I thought your American examples were clever and h...I thought your American examples were clever and helpful.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03321558403318330188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5118517190489901866.post-40988555800078153392014-03-04T23:30:30.081+03:002014-03-04T23:30:30.081+03:00This is the most honest and helpful thing I've...This is the most honest and helpful thing I've read on short term teams.
