Mission trips change lives...I'm talking about the lives of those who go ON the mission trip! THEIR lives change. You can never be the same. There is something about saying, "Yes God. I will go. I will give up time, money, sweat, prayers, and tears for Your will to be done" that allows God to work on us personally. It allows us to get a glimpse at who Jesus really was and what He really was all about. Serving and changing lives.
We are 6 days away from leaving and I feel like Zacchaeus in Luke 19; the tax collector who was too short to see Jesus as He approached. In his excitement, Zacchaeus ran to a tree and climbed up it to get a glimpse of Jesus. Jesus saw him and invited himself into the home of Zacchaeus. I feel like the excited kid running up a tree to get a glimpse of Jesus because I know that Jesus is coming to my "home" during this trip!
