We asked one of our first time mission volunteers to say a little something about his experience from Russia this past summer. I think his response was very moving and explains why God is calling us overseas to share his word:
What impacted me most about my first mission trip was that I'd always wondered why mission trips were being taken in other countries...now I completely understand. There are so many in other countries that receive minimal, if any, messages about God and how He impacts their lives. Most live with little hope. Then, to be able to tell them about ever-lasting perfect eternal life with God, you can begin to see a glimmer of hope developing within them. I know this experience brought me even closer to my God.
