Jesus sets the example for service. He provides the motivation. God tells us who we should serve. Our service should be the very best we have to offer because it is a reflection on Jesus.
We now have all the"right" answers, lets step this down a level and make it personal. Write a brief personal "vision" statement for this trip. It should include things like why you are going on the trip, how you hope to conduct yourself and what you hope to accomplish. What impression do you want your service to leave behind.

Hehe "right answers" cmon tom dont you think we've all been honest and tru so far? hehe. anyway!-
ReplyDeleteThe reason i am going on this trip is the reason i serve. The reason i serve, i think, is the reason i live. God has put it on my heart and in my head that i can help others and that i should dedicate myself to that. I feel my purpose on this earth is to help anyone who needs help. When i die, i want people to remember what i have done for them, that there is kindness out in this cruel world. I dont want my name to be known and praised, i just want my actions to be. and this trip is just another opportunity for me to help someone out who may not be in the best of situations. Whether its a meal, a smile or anything else, im willing to give it out. I will embrace God as fully and wholly as i can and just let God's light shine through. i want his love to be known. and i want the actions we do to be known, that there are people out there that are not selfish and seflcentered that the people's lives who we are serving matter and they are worth our help.
