30Days-30Pics: Defining Short-Term Missions.
Remember when you were a kids & learning to tie your laces (pre-velcro) and you wound up with a knot? Or are you a knitter and you’ve ever found yourself at the end of a ball of yarn and it gets into a grand knot? Or what about you ladies who brush long locks and your brush hits a knot?
Your reaction? …. a frustration-laced eye-roll perhaps?
Today we’re talking knots!

I recently read an internet meme that said…
“I don’t drink coffee to wake up.
I wake up to drink coffee.”
Can anyone say amen!? I’ve had days like that and I’m sure you have too. This is one way in which short-term missions is similar to serving the Lord at home: Some days are definitely three-cuppers!

Your STM journey, in many ways, begins and ends with good communication and while there are many possibilities open to you you need not be overwhelmed by the choice. Pick a couple that you’re good at and be consistent.
If today’s feature image looks familiar, it’s because you saw it just a couple of weeks ago when I shared with you the “You can do it!” blooper reel. I pulled it out again today because I’m going to show you the full video Continue reading

Welcome to day 10 of

There are many reasons why people take part in short-term mission trips and I like to believe that first and foremost among those reasons is that they want to impact another part of the God’s Kingdom. There are naysayers however who openly imply that such trips amount to little more than Christian tourism.

Short-term missions is a time where, when the Lord brings a number of story lines together, you can experience moments of great joy and exhilaration. Today I’m going to tell you about a few of those times.

No, this is not a picture of me writing with an LED-tipped pen, it’s a combo shout-out to a blogger-friend and indispensable habit for short-term missionaries.

Welcome to day 7 of
30Days-30Pics: Defining Short-Term Missions.
Today’s post is directed at both potential short-term missions participants and to the parents of potential short-termers.
Teens and young adults are seeking people to look up to in their ongoing attempts to define who they are and who they’ll become. Ask one about their hero and they’ll name a sports player, an entertainers, a superhero or another well known personality. Today’s post is about giving them an additional choice.

Welcome to day 6 of

Do you find yourself in what appears to be, or feels like, an impossible situation?
Don’t give in to that feeling. There’s hope!
Although three round trips to Melun, in 10 days, was pretty tiring, there was a refreshing in our Spirit that made last weekend’s trip absolutely worth it. It was the French national youth convention (which doubles as the European youth convention) and it was absolutely incredible. I can’t wait to tell you about it.
