Allie Marmion wrote this week in her blog about developing a passion for missions, and going on a GoConnect trip.
"Missions is my passion. I love going on missions trips, leading
them and talking about them. I went on first mission trip when I was a
sophomore in college. I spent 10 weeks in Mexico City. It was the
most amazing time of my life.
It was great to get a good look
at what missions really was and how the people responded to the
missionaries and to the message of Jesus. I was so moved by what God
was doing, that after my sophomore year I decided to change my major.
I
had caught the mission "bug". To this date I have been on over 20
mission trips. I was amazed by how many people have not heard about
Jesus. I wanted to help bring that message to the people of all
nations. I understood what I read in Matthew 28:19. There is a
command there that we all should fulfill. That verse talks about two
types of participants, goers and senders.
Which one are you?
Are you willing to go on a mission trip? Would you rather give money
to missionaries? Decide which one you are and get to work. We have a
long way to go in fulfilling this command. We must pray about our part
and just do it.
Next Spring I am leading a trip
to Thessaloniki, Greece. It will be a great opportunity not just to
bring the Word of God to the people there, but also to walk in the
footsteps of Paul and others in the Bible. What an amazing setting for
bringing the Good News, Thessaloniki."
