- COURAGE:Going to foreign lands to minister the gospel takes courage and it takes perseverance. This was my first mission trip to Africa and even though it was dream come true,there are all sorts of dangers that you can face.However, I quoted Scripture and spent time in God's word being strengthened spiritually and it was awesome! One of my favorite verses is :For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7(KJV)
- Love & Barriers:To connect between cultural and language barriers
it takes the love of Christ which transcends all barriers.We may live in
different countries, but I learned that our heart cries out for God the
same.Language is no barrier when Jesus Christ is in your heart. So having your
heart pliable and open to God and filled with his love is very important and
helps with communicating.
- Preparation Is Necessary:The great commission God has given to us to go across the world starts where you're at right now.Preparation is necessary, I learned if you're going to share the gospel of Jesus of Christ in vast countries you must prepare yourself physically,mentally and spiritually right at home. Before going to Africa I pumped up my diet with more greens and vitamins. I brushed up on my French. and I dedicated prayer and devotion time to God even the more before going on the trip.
In conclusion going on a mission trip can really be beneficial spiritually,physically and mentally. I came back so enriched and feeling more vibrant and excited about God's word and ministry than ever! Looking forward to my upcoming trip to Mexico!
