Sometimes I wonder if going a mission trip is leaving home or going to the field. I guess it's both. In order to go to the place of service you have to leave your home. It dawned on me that serving Christ, I mean, really serving Christ is always like that. To really be a disciple means leaving our comfort zone and going where things are unfamiliar.
We can get comfortable, even complacent, in our Sunday morning routine. We like our comfort zones. But the mission field is not inside the church walls. It's out there, beyond the routine and safety of "home".
We don't have to go far to be on mission, however. Every day, every where we go, we could be on mission if we would follow Christ out of our comfort zones.
We'll be in Connecticut soon and really beg for your prayers. You can get a copy of our itinerary in the church bulletin this week or from the office. Use it to pray for us. I've inserted an aerial photo of the park we'll be serving in Meriden, CT.
