This is my first mission trip and I am very excited and humbled by the chance to go. I am looking forward to seeing how Christ is lived out in a different culture.
Leviticus 6:13 says, "The fire must be kept burning on the altar continuously; it must not go out." Too many times I let the fire of God go cold in my life because I rely on myself, not on God. I am looking forward to relying totally on God for everything and learning to not rely on myself.
In preparing for this trip Joshua 1:9 came to mind, which says, "Be strong & courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go”. Though I haven’t been on a “formal” mission trip before, my husband and I have assisted Corps with projects and ministry while on vacation. I am really looking forward to meeting the people of South Africa, learning about how they worship, learning about their culture, and sharing my faith with them.
