Once you commit and get connected with your mission coordinator, they will walk you through Pre-Trip Training WHY DO WE GO ON MISSION TRIPS? To learn how to reach people for Jesus! We practice what we learn while preparing and being on the mission trip. We then continue to do these things back home, to reach people there. Jesus wants people to spend eternity with Him. We get to participate in that. This trip will train and transform you. Time spent at the feet of Jesus results in ministry. True ministry comes from the overflow of time spent with Jesus and the leading of the Holy Spirit. It’s vital that we spend time in the presence of God! Adventures in Missions 5 Objectives: 1) Listening in Prayer You will have the opportunity to hear and discern God’s voice through prayer and scripture, and then obey the direction God gave! Everyone will have opportunity to be sensitive to the Spirit’s specific leading in personal ministry during the trip. John 10:27 “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.” 2) Make a Meaningful Relationship Led by the Holy Spirit, you will be able to build a meaningful relationship through ministry with your host, teammates, and locals within the community. Seeking out that person each day, will demonstrate the love of Jesus. John 15:12-15 “My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.” 3) Meet a Felt Need You will be able to respond to God’s specific direction to meet a local person’s practical need! This could be prayer, making a meal, giving out a hygiene kit, or perhaps a very specific answer to a prompting by the Holy Spirit during a prayer walk, for example. Matthew 25:40 “The King will reply, 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.'” 4) Share Your Faith You will share the Good News, which is more than a Gospel presentation, or rehearsed testimony, it’s your life! You will listen in prayer to know whom to share with, what to share, and how to share it. This could include a formal Gospel presentation or personal testimony. Luke 4:18-19 “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.” 5) Debrief & Respond Assisted by the Mission Leader, you will learn to identify and share (debrief) what God has done each day. Everyone will have the opportunity to respond to God in gratitude, praise, and worship. At the end of the trip, you will have a final debrief to highlight key takeaways from your trip! Hebrews 10:24-25 “And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.”
