What is “missions”?
Missions, is bringing the Gospel of Jesus Christ to those who don't
know Him as their Lord and Savior. It knows no limits in territory,
people, places, or methods used to reach those who are lost. God’s
desire is that none should perish.
God's call to each individual is
unique and specific to them. God's will is for each individual to
Love God and Love People, that's the 2 greatest of commandments as
seen by Mathew 22:36-40. Now this love thing is expressed directly
through the Great Commission, found in Matthew 28:18-20:
"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in
the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, teaching
them to observe all that I commanded you; and surely I am with you
always, even to the end of the age." God's command, to love Him
and love others, drives us towards His commission to GO, make
disciples, baptize, and teach, which is enabled by the Holy Spirit.
Why do we
go on mission trips?
To reach the lost for Jesus and to train participants how to hear
God's voice and to have a heart for the lost. We are not only
trying to reach this generation of lost people, but trying to
disciple other Christians, especially youth, to reach the lost until
Christ returns.
We go, plan, organize, implement, and lead mission trips as a
response to Gods will for us. How each individual lives their life
is a response to answering Gods call and living out His will.

MaryAnn’s Testimony
It
was an honor and privilege to make a second trip into China with The
Sowers Ministry in April. At some of the meetings, there were
people standing outside, looking in through the windows and doors.
One house church could not fit any more people in the building; the
teachers had to wait in another room for their turn to teach. People
were sitting on the smallest stools, literally with their knees just
barely touching the back of the person in front of them. We really
were packed into the room like sardines. There was such a reverence
for the Word of God. When someone read the Scripture out loud, they
would stand and gracefully sit back down again. Some meetings took 2
hours to travel to, meetings would last 3 to 4 hours.
The day we left
Beijing it was my birthday. I wanted to have communion in Tiananmen
Square, so one of the pastors arranged for us to do so. I knew that
God would protect us from harm, and it was a prophetic thing that we
did. Some day my brothers and sisters in China will be able to do
this openly. To proclaim Christ crucified publicly for all to see.
