Being able to go and share Gods love with them (girls in Malaga, Spain), and being able to see the curiosity in some of the girl’s eyes made the nine hour plane ride so incredibly worth it! It’s almost impossible for me to compare anything to the feeling of knowing that God used me to bring people into his kingdom! – Christal from Houston, TX
IF YOU HAVE FAITH AS SMALL AS A MUSTARD SEED…NOTHING WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOU. – MATTHEW 17:20
There is no doubt that the Lord uses short-term missions to make an eternal impact on the lives of many who intersect with our teams around the world. However, just as powerful is the way God changes the lives of those who choose to go. I like to say that their “mustard seed” of faith grows into a “sesame seed” and their lives are never the same. Just a couple weeks ago, I heard from a student that was so impacted by his experiences in Ecuador, that he sensed the Lord asking him to give up football so he could spend more time growing in His faith and sharing his faith with his peers. Instead of going to college after he graduates in June, he has decided to be a part of a “gap year” (year between high school and college) mission program, sharing the gospel around the world.
This spring and summer, we are sending twelve teams to ten countries on four continents! Our spring locations include the Czech Republic, Ecuador, Hungary, Portugal (Lisbon and Porto), Puerto Rico, Slovenia and Spain. Interested in a summer mission? Apply at cruhighschool.com/go-global to go to East Asia, Hungary, Japan or Tanzania.
Please pray that God would do a powerful work in, and through, those who go.
