Mission Trip Tips:
- Spend time with God every day and enjoy a personal, intimate relationship with Him. Make this your first priority.
- Get your eyes off the opposite sex and focus on the Lord.
- Purpose in your heart to be sensitive to how you can serve the people around you. Don’t go expecting that everyone serve you.
- Go with a desire to learn all that you can from the people where you are going. DO NOT think that you are somehow superior because you are from the United States.
- Show respect for everyone. Do not be loud and obnoxious.
- Obey carefully the instructions of your leaders, or you may very well jeopardize your safety and the safety of others.
- Avoid carrying a wallet in your pocket or using a traditional purse. Use special travel wallets that are worn inside your clothing.
- Wear modest clothing. You are a personal ambassador of Jesus Christ.
- Enjoy all the experiences that God gives you!
