Why are short-term missions trips profitable? - Taylor

Short-term mission trips are profitable in many aspects. A short term missions trip is an outreach ministry where a small to large group go out to a foreign country or somewhere different from where they are and witness and spread the gospel.

Because short-term mission trips are not permanent, it allows the persons attending to jump straight into spreading the gospel. Short-term missions trips are great opportunities to allow the Holy Spirit to work in you and help you overcome fears that you may have concerning witnessing or spreading the gospel, which means that it is a great opportunity to grow as a Christian. It is very easy to be discouraged and afraid when it comes to sharing God’s word with others, but as Christians, it needs to be our responsibility to face our fears and stand up for our Savior in an attempt to lead others to Him.

If you submit yourself to the Lord, He will most certainly use you for His will. Whether it be short-term missions trips, or even permanent missions trips. It is a privilege to be able to fulfill our Lords will in our lives. Possibly after this missions trip, the Lord might call us to a permanent missions field. This trip, Lord willing, will be a wonderful opportunity for us to grow in our Christian lives and to be able to grow closer to our Lord Savior. I am overwhelmed with the excitement of being able to attend a missions trip to Puerto Rico, but the reason for this trip is to lead people to the Lord Jesus Christ.
