It is quite easy to be purposeful and mission-minded on a mission trip. Its built into the schedule...it's what you are supposed to do. It is quite a bit more challenging to do it after the trip and you have returned home to America and to the temptations of your old routine.
As most of you know (if you follow this blog) we recently got back from mission trips to the DR and Costa Rica. We, as trip leaders, always love it when we see students leaving the trip changed but more importantly creating change after they have returned home.
We got a recent visit from a few girls that just went on a mission trip with us to Costa Rica. I thought it was just to pick up something and say hello. To my surprise, they went on to tell me that they had just purchased over 100 hats and scarves from Old Navy and they were going to pass them out to the homeless in downtown Chicago.
Challenged through talks on the trip, they decided to do something with the burdens they have, and be leaders who are testifying to the gospel of God's grace.
I am proud of you girls!
