Keeping it Alive

You just spent a week in a foreign country sweating in 100 degree temperature and getting blisters as you perform more hard labor than you have ever done in your life...yet you want to do it again.  However, if you have been on any mission trip you know the awesome feeling and the desire to keep that joy in your heart forever.   Why?  Simple...you experienced a little piece of Heaven.  You experienced caring and unconditional love.  When you freely love and serve others with no expectations it is indeed and special experience and a deep feeling of joy for everyone involved.  Now don't get me wrong, not everyone have this amazing experience because we often go out and serve with wrong intentions in our hearts.  I admit that I have been on mission trips where my actions were driven more by my own personal pride ...but once we figure it out its the most amazing feeling and we understand what Jesus said in John 13:34  "As I loved you, so you must love one another".  Lets keep it alive until the next trip.

Speak from Your Heart


Let me tell you short story from last year's trip to Belize…on our first day we visited the village of Concepcion in the Corozal District. The schools we visit always have a special welcome ceremony which usually includes assembling the entire school for a formal welcome program and gifts for our mission team. It is customary for the leader of the group to give a welcome speech so I was asked to address the Concepcion primary school students and teachers. As part of my brief speech, I introduced the team. I was especially proud to introduce Davin, my daughter, who was on her first mission trip with me. As I completed my brief talk the school Principal and master of ceremonies took the microphone and handed it to my daughter and asked her to also briefly address the school. As you can imagine, Davin who is 12 year old, was quite intimidated and scared to be standing in front of the entire school in a place that was not at all familiar to her. She responded shyly that she did not know what to say. The master of ceremonies very politely said to her…”That is okay…just speak from your heart”. Davin then proceeded to share some brief comments in front of the entire school. I was so proud of my daughter that day. The reason I share this story is because when we speak from the heart it travels far and touches deeply. So always speak from your heart.
