Preach the Word, be prepared in season and out of season;

Preach the Word, be prepared in season and out of season;

Correct, rebuke, and encourage- with great patience and careful instruction.

-          2 Timothy 4:2

Global Expeditions mission trips give us a chance to do so many things we as Christians are called to do. Yes it is very important to reach the nations and to help others and you will do that. But, we also focus so much on personal growth and on Christian friendships. I hope that this verse encourages you to know that preparing now for your missions trip will benefit you when it is your season. When you are preparing for your trip be encouraged and do not let the lies of the enemy contradict your excitement and faith for the money you must raise or your calling to the place you will go. You have such a calling and you are never alone in your journey towards missions. With Gods word and His help you can make it there.

beautiful the feet are of those who spread the good news

Throughout the Scriptures we are told to go out and make disciples of all nations. In 3 out of 4 gospels, Acts, Romans, and various other books we are told this. Without mission trips the church would not be where it is at today, not as many people would be saved, and not that many would know the truth. How sad! In Romans it tells us how beautiful the feet are of those who spread the good news. And they truly are. They are needed. In Isaiah Ch. 6 when Isaiah saw the Lord, God asked,” Whom shall I send, who will go for us?” Isaiah says,” Here I am, Send me.” We as His people should say the same exact thing. It should be our desire to do God’s Will. So this summer listen and obey the voice of God and go on a mission trip and spread His message.

the word ‘religion'

James 1:27 says this Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you. (NLT)  Nowadays we kinda get confused about the meaning of the word ‘religion.’ We tend to think of some legalistic standard that is truly impossible to meet. But my belief is that what it meant back then is a relationship with God, which is what we want.  God is all about relationship. This why He said that true religion is caring for orphans and widows in their pain, He wants us to care for others! This is more than going to other countries (which are still important) but going to places around your home town like the day-care or a pregnancy resource center or even a homeless shelter and volunteering your time there. God wants to use to be a light in dark and lonely places. God can use us anywhere we are. Will you embrace the call?

"Do not say 'i am only a youth'"

Jeremiah 4:5-8

5: "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you;  Before you were born I sanctified you;  I ordained you a prophet to the nations."

6: "Then said I : ’Ah, Lord God! Behold I cannot speak, for I am a youth.’

7: "But the Lord said to me:  "Do not say, ’I am a youth,’  For you shall go to all to whom I send you, And whatever I command you, you shall speak.  Do not be afraid of their faces, For I am with you to deliver you," says the Lord."


As young people, God calls even us to speak for Him!
If it’s from Him, He’ll carry us through, so speak out as He calls...
We can be used. 
God is giving you all opportunities to be ambassadors for Him!
To share the gospel for righteousness, salvation, for the Kingdom, and for His Glory!!
Be open, yield, listen, and obey.
God bless.
