Travel the World- Make a Difference

I love travel.  I love seeing new places,  experiencing new cultures, and I even love plane food! (shocker, right?)

But more than all of that...I love it when I can make a difference in someone else's life.  Someone who may not speak the same language as me.  Someone who may not have their own bed (much less their own car, iPod or fridge full of junk food.)  Someone who is a sinner just like me.  Someone who didn't know Jesus yesterday, but is covered by grace today.  All because I chose to save a few bucks and go on a Missions Trip.

Lifehouse Church East is taking 7 Missions Trips in 2011, and I seriously think you should consider going on one of them (whoever you are out there in the virtual world).

There's something for everyone, whether you're a homebody or an world-traveler:

• Dresden, Germany: June 20-27
• Quito, Ecuador: July 1-8
• Dominican Republic: July 16-23
• Church Plant, Hedgesville, WV: September 1-11
• Convoy of Hope, Hagerstown, MD: September 23-24
• Dominican Republic: October 8-15
• Dream Center, Los Angeles: October 15-23

Every destination has a city full of hurting people who need the hope that you have. So before you say "no" because of time, money, or other concerns...promise me this: you'll pray about it.  Deal?

Deal.  (I can see all of your virtual heads are nodding yes right now.)  So while you're praying about it, pick up a MISSIONS PASSPORT at the Info Center this Sunday, or email brian@lifehousechurcheast.org for more info on upcoming trips.  You can also watch a video of my good friend Lisa talking about her experience on one of the recent LHE Missions trips HERE.

Travel.  See the World.  Make a Difference. (And I'll eat any leftover plane food you don't want.)
