I just wanted to I guess say this as encouragement and everything. I've seen dozens of people go on missions trips and come back and talk about how ther lives had been changed forever... And it's true, missions trips will change you forever. When you actually engage into a world where people are literally godless and hungry for the word of God. Here in America we here Jesus every day, if anything it's hearing the guy in the office or class room shout out in anger "JESUS CHRIST....." (followed by some obscenity). But to be somewhere where people really want to hear the word of God... Where the Word of God is really life to them. And when healing and miracles actually happen! It really is life changing!

And people come back from these trips completely changed. I've driven people back from the airport coming from the missions field and it's just amazing... Hearing the stories that they have and the bond these people who were near strangers a week ago have formed. Sadly, however, there are cases where weeks, months, or years after people come back from their missions trip it's like, what happened? Where is the "life change" from the missions trip? I'm not saying everyone does it, but I'm saying it happens.

So as encouragement, when you go on these missions trips this year, and as you minister to people and be ministered to by the Lord, write down the things that He has done through you and has spoken to you. It's important to remember the things that God has done in your life. I mean, imagine if John didn't heed the word of the Lord in Revelation and didn't write down the things he had seen... How at a loss would we be now? God wants us to write these things down to remind us of the things He's done, is doing, and will do in our lives.

So yea, be encouraged, write down to remember the things the Lord has done... and this goes for everything actually, not just missions trips... So yea... I just wanted to say that

Be Blessed and Be a Blessing!

Great thoughts Jose.

good suff Jose !

I have seen and lived through this - or am living through it i guess.

I have experienced a life change through short - term missions - and have fought trying to remember and live out that change in my every day life. And yea - remembering to write down God's messages to our lives will save us a lot of grief and time.
