Today the muli-generational team from Sunset Presbyterian Church in Portland Oregon leaves to go back home taking with them the sights, smells, and sounds of a short term missions trip. If I heard nothing else from this diverse group, it was that they would be forever changed by what they experienced.
Some will go home and do life differently, some will start helping the poor in their community , some have a new passion for God and his word, some will surrender a little more of their life to Jesus and His purpose, some will share this experience with others and motivate them towards good works, some will surrender their finances to eternal things rather than temporal things. But we all indeed will be CHANGED , if only but a little bit.
This same church is sending three more teams here this summer, why? Because fear is not a factor where faith flourishes. The poor still need help, the lost still need a Saviour, the hurting still need hope. I need to find a church like Sunset here where we live. It seems funny that we don't!!!!
