Every Day is a Missions Trip

Tonight I was talking to a couple guys about their summer. They spent an entire month of their summer vacation in Ethiopia. I asked them if it was for a mission trip.

One of them replied, "not really. For us, every day is a mission trip."

I had never thought of it that way before.

But really, God has called us to a life of daily "mission trips." Growing up, the youth group I was involved in would do periodic mission trips. Some of them in the local community. Some of them as far as Mexico or Austria.

And these trips were amazing. Meeting people. Discovering new cultures. Sharing the good news of Jesus Christ with people proved to be awesome experiences.

And they can happen every day. In fact, that should be our goal.

Every day when we wake up the goal of the day should be to spread Christ's love with us, to help and serve others.

A mission trip.

My prayer is that we make every day our mission trip to those around us.

Let's live a life of missions, in worship to our God.

Because every day is a missions trip.
