On Mission

A missions trip provides unique opportunities to experience God's grace in ways that we often miss during our day-to-day routines. Over time, however, these spiritual lessons tend to be forgotten as the memories of the trip fade. On Mission is an expanded daily devotional guide, designed to help you make the most of your experience by: spiritually preparing for your trip, staying connected to Jesus each day, and reflecting on what God has taught you and finding new ways to stay missionally engaged after you return home.

Mission trip leaders, youth pastors, and pastors will want to use this devotional to guide mission trip participants, provide for in-depth learning together, and spark lifelong change. Each of the ten daily devotionals features a bible passage from Christ's life and ministry, an article to help the reader understand the spiritual lessons of the passage, and journaling exercises to help connect what they are learning with events and lessons experienced on the trip. On Mission is applicable to a broad range of missions trips and suitable for audiences from high school students to adults.

Life-Changing Mission

Life Changing Mission helps short-term missions teams get the most out of their trip and live on mission once they get back home. 

Mission trips give participants a unique opportunity to see and experience God differently than they do at home. While most people who take short term mission trips describe them as life-changing, the truth is that after they return home, not a lot changes in how they live day-to-day, and the memories start to fade. Life Changing Mission offers ten impactful devotions from Acts for short-term mission teams that will help them prepare spiritually for their trip, stay connected to Jesus while they serve, and continue to expand God’s kingdom when they return home.

The devotions will help reader connect what they are doing each day to God’s big kingdom and see how God is using them, just as he did the early Christians, to bring hope and healing to the world. Each devotion emphasizes the power of God to use weak and needy people to bring the gospel to a broken world.
