Mission4One

Over the past four years, God has blessed us with many opportunities to go and serve in Costa Rica.  We have been able to send 5 teams during this time to serve through Mission4One. 

What we have noticed from our last trip is that we are limited in the number of teams that we can send on international mission trips.  This is due to various reasons.  Our prayer is that we can take numerous teams.  It is always good to have more people interested in going than we have team slots for.  But, God is good and He always provides a way for people to go.

I’m excited about the opportunities that we have through Mission4One to partner with Rice and Beans Ministries to be able to send “more” people to Costa Rica.  Rice and Beans has an ongoing ministry (weekly/monthly) that has many opportunities to serve. 

One gift that M41 has is the ability to help others plan and organize mission trips, whether it be for M41, Rice and Beans, or anyone else.  “We don’t go to serve in the name of the ministry, but in the name of Christ!!” 

So, if you have questions or comments about how to get involved with international missions, please send us a note.  We are excited about what God is doing in this ministry and look forward to what He has in store for us through serving in the future!

Are you ready to go?  In the first part of Matthew 28:19, Jesus said “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations.”  So, are you anxious, excited?  Everyday God needs you to go.  Maybe it’s across the street or halfway across the world.  Wherever He leads, be prepared to go. 

My prayer for you is that you are bold in your witness for Jesus – crossing all boundaries – culture, language, etc.  Whatever happens on your trip, do not lose sight in staying “engaged” with God daily.  Listen for His voice and respond.   As you remain faithful and obedient to Him, He will bless you in so many ways.  Some fruit you will see, some you won’t. 

It’s comforting to know that when we “go”, He promises us something else – that He will never leave us (Mt. 28:20).  Allow the Holy Spirit that dwells within you to guide and direct you on your incredible journey. 

How do I know it will be incredible, well, it’s HIS journey – we’re just followers.
