Mission Trips

Spending time and money on mission trips can seem silly when we can just as easily share the gospel right where we are. And it’s true that, regardless of location, followers of Christ should strive to live as his ambassadors, leading lives of continual testimony. Nevertheless, this doesn’t discount the unique value of short-term trips, for they serve as a powerful means of fueling evangelistic passion and empowering believers to live on mission.

Short-term mission trips have unique value to both the long-term missionaries they support and the churches that take them. When executed with excellence in cooperation with long-term missions strategies, they can provide significant support and impetus to missionary work. In addition, they serve as a powerful means of fueling evangelistic passion and empowering believers to live on mission. J.D. Greear
