Team and short term missions - Missions for everyone!

The great commission is for everyone!
Missions is not just for a few chosen, it is our common task.

Word of Life every year sends out between 200-350 people on team trips to about 15 countries in Europe and Asia, plus a number of volunteers that serve on the missions fields 3 months or more.

Of course it is possible to be deeply engaged in missions from home through intercessory prayer and financial support. These are very important and vital for the ongoing progress of the missions work. Support of the missions field is necessary until the established work can stand on its own feet and carry on with the work self sufficiently.

But I think every Christian should take the chance to go themselves as well! A believer can make a valuable difference as he goes on a team. His/her testimony can strengthen a believers out there, they might lead somebody to Christ or minister healing through prayer. They might be a great encouragment to a poor child in an orphanage or school, might give a future and hope for young struggling people.

A volunter can do the same, just more effectively. Together with experienced missionaries they make very valuable efforts that makes a difference!

I am very excited about working with and developing this. It is very easy to go on a missions trip or give some months as a volunteer. It might not only change people's lives out there, it might change yours!

A little word of warning. Even if missions is not hazardous to your health, rather the opposite, it is still highly addictive!

Go! And make a difference!
