We share what God is doing in our lives and how He is working in us and through us. People want to know how we came to Christ. Whether that means building homes, teaching English in a classroom, or painting the outside of a church- our goal is to be selfless and help others with their greatest needs! We go as Storytellers We leave a community better than when we got there. We want to be able to help improve their quality of life and make them feel loved! We are there to serve the community that we’re in, whether it is through construction or medical care. We are there to share God’s love, not to get recognition for what we did. It is never about us! It’s always about the people we serve. We simply come alongside them with our time, energy and resources to help something happen that would otherwise remain impossible for an individual or family on their own. The people of the communities we serve are capable, strong and intelligent. We do not go to another community as a “savior”. We go to learn from them, about their culture and what they need the most help with. We never enter into another community to “fix” them. There are three pillars of a Mission Discovery mission trip that all volunteers should know before joining. These are just a few examples of what outreach activities could be. Outreach activities could include Children’s Bible School, community service, building homes in impoverished areas, sharing meals with the homeless, and much more. The opportunity to share the Gospel with people living in poverty and other struggling circumstances helps us learn about being selfless, loving others more than ourselves, and shows God’s love for humanity through our actions! Sharing the Gospel with people, whether they are receptive to it or not, is part of what makes a mission trip so fulfilling. This article will talk about what mission trips are and how you can get involved! What makes a Christian Mission Trip unique?Ī Christian mission trip will have a focus on outreach. The purpose of these trips is usually service-oriented: helping people with jobs like construction, medical care, teaching children English, and more. Usually, they are done in groups, either by churches or Christian organizations and can be as short as 1 week or last up to 2 years and beyond. Mission trips are a way for Christians to serve the world around them.
