It might seem odd to say that mission trips are as much for the person going as for the people being to served. But the truth is, often what we get out of going on the field impacts us just as much as what we go to share.

In other words, if your life feels a little bit wrecked after a mission trip, congratulations. That’s supposed to happen.   We have learned that a mission trip is the perfect opportunity for God to turn your world upside down. Living in true community weans us of our addiction to technology and artificial “social” networks.
