Mission Trips

I love going on mission trips and seeing how God works in the teenagers lives and mine.  Last week I was blessed to go to Indianapolis on a mission trip with teenagers from East Side.  The last few years that I have been able to go I have been blessed personnally. To watch teens grow in Christ and step out of their comfort zone is amazing to see.  To watch them be eager to share the Gospel with a stranger and not worry about what people will say is amazing to see.  Each year I am still amazed by the lessons that I am taught, and the experiences I experience.  After being away from normal life and focused on God for a week I always come back feeling spiritually lifted and ready to make a difference.  Then I get home and life is back to normal and then I find it harder to stay focused, and Satan is trying to tear me down. This year is different from the past couple of years I am determined to stay focused and not let Satan bring me down.
