Christ is in the business of building lives, leaders, local churches, and His kingdom. He increases our burden, fans our passion, and enlarges our vision. One way Christ does this is through missions trips. In fact, missions trips may be one of the best ways to challenge people with spiritual needs around the world, as well as at home. Please prayerfully consider these 14 ways God can use a missions trip in your life and the lives of others.
