Our triplemsm team has been talking a lot about our mission trip lately. Our students have been incredibly excited about the upcoming trip to Jackson, MS. The one thing that has been on my heart and I keep hearing over and over again from students, parents and leaders is; "We want those going to Jackson to be able to share Christ with others."
We had several students get back from a mission trip with their school at which they had the opportunity to personally share their faith and be a part of someone coming to know Christ. They were so excited about it! I mean pumped... "We have to do this on our mission trip!" It was cool to hear them excited about sharing their faith. I know already that God is going to use something that started at a christian school associated with a different church to impact our students and Jackson, MS... The Kingdom is so huge.
Heres what I know:
Excited students make great evangelists for anything. Task 1 - get them excited about sharing the gospel.
God is going to do some amazing things in Jackson, MS this summer. Task 2 - Pray hard that we can be flexible enough to be a part of it!
God works more through brokenness than pride. Task 3 - Break the students by the end of Day 1. :) (I love saying that, but know God is the one who really does it)
If our plans don't make us think "how's that going to happen?" we need bigger plans. Task 4 - Plan big! Expect big! Work big! and be flexible enough to allow God to do what He wants.
There's a whole bunch more, but I don't want to bore you anymore with my task list.
