Mission Trips

If you have not ever been on a Mission Trip, you should go on as many as you can. They are great. I receive so much on these trips. The trip is not for me, but to serve God and others. But as the saying goes it is better to give than to receive. However, when you give of youself you receive back. The first Mission Trip I went on, we did Vacation Bible School and I rememember a young boy praying at the end of the week - Thanking God for sending the Missonary Ladies to teach them the Bible. I never thaught too much about what it means until that day. God can use us in so many ways.
A few weeks ago, we went to help build a church that had been distroyed in the storms. Everyone there seems to so apprecitate our helping. It is so neat to go and see other Christians working together for the Lord. We can make a difference. In todays world we need all the assurance we can get that there is more Christians out in the world working for the Lord. I need that trip soooo much, because it is so easy to listen to the news and start thinking how bad the world is. But God has His people everywhere. Sometimes we just need to know we have others that believe as we do.
With God we can do anything. Even speak out against the wrongs in our country today.
As for us, with God we will see it through.

May God bless each of you'
