     Discussion

  1. Have you ever personally been on a mission trip to another country? If so, where did you go? How did that mission trip impact your life?
  2. What are some fears or excuses that you feel some youth and young adults have for not wanting to go on a mission trip, or become missionaries to another country?
  3. Is God calling any of you to either go on a short term missions trip, or become a full time missionary in another country one day? If so, what country is God calling you to?
  4. For those of you who are called to either go on a short term mission trip, or become a full time missionary, what are some steps you are now taking to prepare to go?

 

End: Pray for those who feel called to go on a short term mission trip, and for those who feel called to become full time missionaries in another country.  Pray for those who want to accept Jesus or rededicate their lives to Christ, then take requests.
