Well, this trip is not just another week of your life. You will face challenges, strange food, discomfort, and maybe even some disappointments. In a place where you can barely say "Hello, how are you?" in the local language, it will be vital that you are able to communicate Christ's love in a different way to people who desperately need it.
So. Here's an assignment for you this week. Begin to take pre-field preparation seriously. Begin to ask the Lord, "What would you have me to do or change in order to best represent YOU on this mission trip?" And allow Him to reveal anything in your heart that needs attention before you set foot on foreign soil.
If you are serious, God will begin to give you new perspectives, purposes, and a deeper understanding of God's heart for the lost and hurting people of the world.

Just reading Stephanie's comments on Spiritual Prep causes my awareness to focus on the requirement that we remain in that mindset continuously -- just to take the time from a busy day to re-center and to remember who we are and, more importantly, WHAT we are - that we truly are the Light of the world at all times, and through His creation (us) He brings His LOVE and GRACE to His creation. AND taking time from the busy day reminds me that I have, today, chosen to turn my attention to the things going on around me rather than to keep my heart and mind stayed on Him --
Sorry to have missed last mtg - will see you all on 18th. Matilda Moore
