This is not my first mission trip. Two summers ago I went to
Zimbabwe with a team from Samaritan’s Feet.
We distributed a few thousand shoes, mostly to children but also to
government officials and teachers as a sign of peace and healing. Ever since that trip I have felt a calling to
get out into the world and make a difference somewhere, even though it may be
out of my comfort zone. There is no
greater time to spread the love of God than now, especially to such a hurting
country as Haiti.
Many of my friends don’t understand
why I would want to give up my spring break to do something that may not be as
“fun” as going to the beach or the lake. I don’t see it as a less enjoyable
activity, but rather, I see it as exchanging a meaningless activity for one
that will have a lasting impact somewhere in the world. There will be plenty of other spring breaks,
but going on this trip and impacting this country is the chance of a lifetime.
