One Trip...
I am occasionally asked, "Can anything lasting really
be accomplished on a short-term mission trip?" To this I answer with an emphatic
"Yes!" I realize mission trips
are costly and if not done correctly can be more of a problem than a blessing
to the host missionary, but a well-planned mission trip can have many eternal
results. To emphasize the impact of just
one mission trip, we are focusing on an October 2008 FAME mission trip to Haiti in this
issue of the e-newsletter. If you didn't
believe it before, as you read the articles below I believe you will be
convinced that short-term mission trips are well worth the time, expenses and
effort.

What I Receive...
by Dr. Dan Mann, FAME Volunteer
On
our most recent trip, we assisted over one thousand Haitians with a variety of
issues, who otherwise wouldn't have been able to seek medical attention. What surprised me was how these beautiful
people transformed my relationship with God.
It was inspiring to see people with barely enough resources to stay
alive have more faith in God than most people I know who live in luxury. More... | |
