Ever wonder what a missions trip entails or how to get involved? Missions Pastor Bill Gibbs of Abundant Life Church walks us through these questions. He’s been to 27 different countries, has a heart and a passion for missions, and he’s an obedient and faithful servant of God. Going on a missions trip can sound intimidating, but you aren’t thrown into a place with anything to do. Usually, you are partnered with a team, and you are meeting each other’s needs. Depending on your strengths, you can work in construction, or teaching, and/or evangelizing. There is plenty of training involved before sending you out into a different country, to prepare you for a different culture, and conversations to have, and expectations. Though you don’t have to go overseas to go on a missions trip, there are plenty of opportunities locally to serve too! “Living on mission” is simple, says Gibbs, it’s not all about our intentions, it’s about our submission. Understand that sometimes God does more through us than with us. We may never know the impact of our actions when we serve God in this life, the important thing is to be obedient, and also courageous to speak the truth. Know that the Holy Spirit goes with you, and it’s His power and heart to pursue the lost. livingproof.co bill.gibbs@livingproof.co
