Mission Trip reflections



Although your weeklong mission trip is over, God is still moving in you and through you! I’d like you to think about how this experience has changed you.
How has it changed…
your understanding of God?
your understanding of yourself and how God sees you?
your view of the world?

What have you learned…
about serving?
about following Jesus?

In thinking specifically about your ministry in Washington DC…
What/who made the biggest impact on you?
What surprised you about ministry?
What thought(s) or question(s) have stuck with you since you’ve been back?
How do you think God will use this trip to shape your future (where you live, where you spend your money and on what, how you treat people, your career)?

Now that you’ve been back for several weeks…
What have you enjoyed the most?

What things have most gotten on your nerves?

What do you anticipate others’ responses will be to changes in you?
How are you personally going to continue on this journey?


I urge you to keep serving here in Michigan! Our church has many, many opportunities for you to continue working toward helping others. Here are a few that are coming up soon:

Intergenerational mission project at Wayne County Family Center on Saturday, July 28. Picnic dinner and games with the homeless families that live in this shelter.

VBS at Geneva starting August 13! Help guide children, make snacks, sing songs and more!
