Would you consider taking a short term missions trip?

What is your fondest memory? As you look back on your life, what event was the most meaningful? Does anything jump out as the most significant thing you have ever done?

I would challenge you to think about taking a short term missions trip with me. You see, as I look back at my life, my fondest memories are my camp and missions trip experiences. From working at a mission camp in Alaska to hanging out with kids in Brooklyn, New York, from working on a church building in Puerto Rico to playing games with kids in France, sharing Jesus Christ with people through relationship is the greatest experience a person could ever have - apart from accepting Christ as their Savior themselves. I have seen glaciers in Alaska and the phosphorescent bay in Puerto Rico. I have climbed to the Eiffel Tower in France and the Statue of Liberty in New York City. From beach side sunrises to moutain top sunsets, the beauty of our Creator screams of His glory and majesty. However, nothing is more beautiful as sharing a laugh with a child and sharing with him the truth that this glorious Creator desires to have him as a part of his family.

Would you consider going to visit orphans in Uganda to share the love of Christ with them? Or how about traveling with me to the mountains of Peru and handing a bible to thousands who have never heard of Jesus before? Would you think about working in a clinic helping sick people receive physical aid and spiritual instruction? Or maybe you would be best used in a camp situation teaching kids to play ball and give them life lessons as well?

THINK ABOUT IT - these memories do not fade quickly, and the fruit can be eternal.
