A godly woman on Sunday morning asked me if it would be a good idea to start saving money for any potential Harvest mission trips in 2011. Answer: "You are the woman! And ... YES!" Flights to get overseas can be really expensive, but once there, costs are often minimal and the fruitfulness great (for you and for those there).
As I shared in the sermon on Psalm 96, our overseas trips would have one of two emphases (perhaps both in the same region):
1. Adrenaline trips (helping existing gospel efforts such as an overseas Harvest)
2. Pioneering trips (adopting an unreached people group and getting the gospel to them)
Application: start praying and saving. In 2010, we are more mobilized than ever. Might we attach our gospel motivation!
Keep praying for Phil and Becca Smith who are headed to Bihar, India in August to share the gospel with those unreached people. They've reached their need to purchase flights, but still need more for their on-the-ground expenses and efforts.
