First Time Stepping into the Mission Field

Traveling the Missions Field.
Many times, when people hear the words ‘Mission Trip’ they immediately get uncomfortable, clammy hands, shaking knees, the whole nine yards. It’s good to understand what you want to do, what you probably should do, and what you can do when it comes to this topic.

What you want to do.
Turn around, run as far away as you possibly can. We know that you are trembling, but is this all really necessary? But there’s also this inkling inside of you… This thing inside of you urging you to fill out the form, make the call, whats stopping you?

What you should do.
You should pray. This is definitely the first step towards going into the mission field. Its a very intimidating choice. Leaving your home for several days, weeks, months, even years. You must know that you are not obliged to do so, but it will definitely be one of the best times of your life.

What you can do.
You can begin! Fill out the information you need to, to be able to go. Mission trips are a great way to accomplish many things at once. You’re spreading your faith, you’re seeing the world, you’re experiencing a new culture! It can be so exciting to be able to experience.

What now?
I have to personally say, I have been on 4 mission trips to 4 countries, and 1 state. All including New York, Australia, Israel, Jordan, and Ireland.This is certainly not a fad. This is not something that you can just leave and do. This is a humongous commitment, and you need to take it seriously. You can have fun, and have an amazing time while you are on the trip. Make sure to make this memorable, take pictures, write a journal, film a video blog.

To Conclude.
Now that you’ve prayed about it, looked at your options, and understand the basic concept, lets conclude. You have to know when God is pulling you towards the right trip. It’s true that it will feel as if something is pulling towards a certain place, or a certain people. There will be many different ways that you will know where is right. But the best thing you can do, to know what is right, is that everything will work out. God will provide all the money in the face of opposition, and He will send you in the right direction. Always trust God, trust His word, and trust His direction.
