"I could never do that."
If you've ever thought about going on a mission trip, there's a good chance you've also had thoughts like these:
What if I don't know what to say?
What if someone asks me a question I can't answer?
What if my faith isn't strong enough?
What if I'm not qualified?
Here's the good news...
God has never been limited by someone who feels unqualified. Hallelujah!
In fact, some of the most meaningful moments on our mission trips happen through people serving for the very first time.
We watch their uncertainty turn into confidence.
Their fear become compassion.
Their hesitation become boldness.
They discover that sharing the Gospel isn't about having all the answers. It's about loving people, listening well, sharing what Jesus has done in your own life, and trusting the Holy Spirit to do what only He can do.
And somewhere along the way, they realize something unexpected:
God wasn't just working through them. He was working in them.
One of my favorite parts of every mission trip is watching first-time volunteers experience the joy of seeing God move in ways they never imagined. It's hard to describe until you've experienced it yourself.
If the thought of serving on a mission trip has been stirring in your heart, maybe that's not an accident.
You don't have to know everything.
You don't have to be a Bible scholar.
You don't have to have it all figured out.
You simply have to be willing to say, "Here I am, Lord."
Whether God leads you to serve with International Solid Rock or another Christ-centered ministry, my prayer is that you'll be open to where He is calling you.
You may think you're going to change someone else's life.
Don't be surprised if God changes yours, too. ❤️
