This past June 52 people from various campus chapters of Every Nation Campus Ministries around North America along with members of some Every Nation churches participated in a Ten Days mission trip during which we built a home, built a church and reached out in the community preaching the gospel and giving away discipleship resources like “The Purple Book” and Spanish Bibles.
Every Nation Ministries has really improved it’s short term missions program. Now called Ten Days Missions(which I suppose is the average length of a short term mission trip) the trips bring together students from churches and campus ministries all over but unify the teams and facilitate ease of administration through video training. Ten Days also makes online giving an option for would be trip participants.
Short term mission trips are powerful experiences. As you step out and commit to go, you are forced to stretch your faith to trust God to provide the finances to get there, experience another culture, see the multitudes that don’t know Jesus and witness God show up in the lives of people you are changed. – (All this in addition to the change that takes place in the people and community you go to serve!)
I am personally helping to mobilize some students for a mission trip to Baja Mexico this June 17-22. The cost of this trip (excluding the cost of airfare to San Diego) is $1,000. If you are in the Tallahassee area and are interested in going please let me know, as we are starting the application and training processes now.
If those dates don’t work for you, or if you live in another part of the U.S., but want to get involved, check out the short term missions opportunities on the Ten Days Missions website.
