Well, the first group of missioners is off to Honduras today - by now they should be on their way to Tegucigalpa. Please pray for safe travels, and happy landings in Tegu! It's definitely the most interesting airport to land in!
The rest of the week one crew will be arriving on Saturday.
I'm all packed, ready to go - got to keep in mind the reason for going.
- Pray that the mission team will not let the platform take the place of the mission. In Matthew 28:18-20, Jesus commissioned us to make disciples. That’s
our mission. Oftentimes, compassion ministry, construction, or other
need-based ministries are the “platforms” that give opportunity for
mission trips. But success in meeting these needs is not our “mission.”
Our mission is disciple-making (evangelism, teaching, baptizing)
connected to a local church. It is easy to let the need (platform)
become the focus. Pray that our mission teams will not forget the
mission” in lieu of meeting the need.
