What exactly is a Short Term Mission Trip? Part 3 of 4

Short Term Missions

Have you at any time thought that you simply dreamed of being a part of something good and wonderful, yet had not been certain just how “the pieces of the puzzle” joined together? Often times that's the feeling any time choosing to get involved with a mission trip. However you may well be not sure on exactly how it all works. We hope this will be able to answer some questions you may have.

What Are the Benefits of Going on a Short-term Mission Trip?

It's ideal for your own personal spiritual life plus its amazing to observe God moving in another area and culture. Frequently whenever team members come back from their short term trip, they are really considerably more enthusiastic and passionate about living their faith out at home. Because their own eyes really are opened to God’s work around the world, the way they pray transforms. They become much more effective in their own personal community as well as church and they also obtain a broader vision for what God has the ability to do. Simply speaking, God becomes even bigger in our own eyes as we step out on a short term mission trip.

Youth Quests International & John and Becky Andrews

We wanted to share with you the blessings resulting from the help you have given in supporting this ministry and the missionaries who went this year.

Php 1:3-7 I thank my God upon all my remembrance of you, always in every supplication of mine on behalf of you all making my supplication with joy, for your fellowship in furtherance of the gospel from the first day until now; being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ: even as it is right for me to be thus minded on behalf of you all, because I have you in my heart, inasmuch as, both in my bonds and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers with me of grace.

Do I Have to Be a Super Christian to Go?

No, actually all Christian believers ought to consider themselves as missionaries with regards to their mission field being their own neighborhood, or even their place of work, or perhaps their particular sports team. You do not have to be a super Christian, however you'll have to possess the right mental attitude towards God.  Follow the mission statement of the Lord Jesus, "For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost." Luke 19:10
