Missions 101

There are thousands of missions sites on the internet, but here are links to a few which might prove useful to the group as preparations for the Costa Rica trip continue:

• World Missions 101
• Virtual Missionary Handbook
• Defining Your World-View (opens a PDF file--begins on pg. 3)
• Preparing for Short-Term Missions Trip (blog--click on previous posts for more)
• Short-Term Missions (Informative Site--Many Links

And these are but a few.

Continue to pray, study, and prepare your minds for the task ahead.  Remember the words of Paul when he urged, "Be all things to all men."

Shalom!

Introduction

Roberts Tabernacle Church of God of Prophecy in Westmoreland, Tennessee, is hosting a mission trip to San Jose, Costa Rica in April, 2010.

The purposes of the trip are many; primarily, the group making the trip will be helping the Christians there to build a church/multi-purpose building.  In a larger sense, however, the strengthening of the Holy Spirit among those going and among those who live in San Jose can be neither measured nor overlooked.  Those going will experience the joy of "loving others as I have loved you" and of the service of being the hands and feet of Jesus in that community.  Those who live in Costa Rica will experience the joy of welcoming fellow 'aliens and strangers in this world' to their homes, and they'll be strengthened in their daily walks in the Light.

The purpose of this blog is to keep those 'going' to Costa Rica as well as those 'sending' others there informed about the trip and provide useful and helpful information about the work of the Lord there.

May God shine His grace and glory on all those involved in this project. (Photo of San Jose)
