So I'm going on a mission trip to Belize on Saturday with the youth group at church for a week. While there we will be spending some time in the inner city and more rural parts of Belize (a.k.a. not the tourist parts) and talking to kids there about Jesus. We'll be playing games with the kids, coloring, doing (simple) magic tricks, and sharing our testimonies with them in hopes that we can teach them who Jesus is, because some kids never get the chance to hear about Him.
While I am excited beyond belief for this trip I'm also nervous. It's not like the pervious mission trips I've been on which were focused about building and being more of the "hands and feet of God" but this one has a lot to do with evangelism. I've been praying a lot this week that God will give us the words to speak next week and that He will watch over us and keep us safe next week. I'm also praying that God challenges us to dig deeper in our relationships with Him and trust in Him next week.
"Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight." Proverbs 3:5-6
Jordan, I will be praying the same things for you & the others going. It is amazing how God can work through us - even though we do not feel adequate to do the job. We do not need to be the best, just to be available for God to work through us. God Bless you & the others on your trip, Barbara Reed
