It Wasn't As Difficult As I Thought It Might Be
I think this experience helped with my comfort level in talking to people about Christ. I had never really told anyone about Him before this. When they started asking questions, I was happy because it helped them to learn about God and it helped me see that it wasn't as difficult as I thought it might be . . .
An Encouraging and Enriching Week
Jesus commands us to go out and make disciples. We must be bold in proclaiming the gospel. I really enjoyed my time at the Boardwalk Chapel and I was definitely strengthened and encouraged. I really hope I can come next year . . .
Fruitful Conversations
As we drove back to Wildwood, we spent some time praising God for the fruitful conversations we'd shared in and praying for the people we'd talked to . . .
A Lot Like A Roller Coaster
My wife, Natalie, and I joined the caravan of high-schoolers heading down to Wildwood, New Jersey. In God’s providence, our trip to the Boardwalk Chapel taught us not only about the youth group, but also about the value of short-term mission trips . . .
Rest on God's Sovereignty
The evangelism training my team and I received in Key West inspired me to be "bold and courageous," and to have peace in my heart knowing that the God who is the God of my life is also the God of the lives of the people I'm witnessing to . . .
More Than Anyone Could Ask For
God provided me with an amazing team and an amazing co-leader, Kathleen Winslow. This team of eleven young adults and Kathleen were more than anyone could ask for, they were willing, efficient, loving, kind, diligent, God fearing, and God honoring . . .
Renewed Focus on the Work at Hand
This summer I got to experience short-term missions from a new perspective—as a Missionary Associate in the Czech Republic who had been on the field for a full twelve months before the summer STM teams arrived . . .
Opportunities to Talk About How God Saves
The English Camp team – a wonderful group of believers from several different states, united by a strong desire to help Czechs learn English and give them an opportunity to hear the Gospel. Team Praha - twelve energetic and very musical, young Christians from Arizona, California, and Washington . . .
God Gave the Courage
I prayed that God would give me the courage to be bold, and God answered my prayers! Not only did He give me the courage to have serious conversations about salvation, relationships, and life after death, but He also gave the Czech teens the courage to have those conversations with me . . .
There is No Real Competition
The Sunset Celebration takes place every evening, and there are a number of different vendors and acts that are there to attract the locals and tourists who show up. This means that there are a lot of “distractions” from Bill’s message, but as he says, there is no real competition . . .
God Opened the Door
I wanted to more boldly share the gospel with them since my time was running out. That week, I asked my church to pray for me to not waste my words during the final week that I had left in Asia....God opened the door for a conversation about the Bible and allowed me to share the good news of His salvation . . .
Bringing Encouragement and Support
Montevideo, Uruguay, is a cosmopolitan city where atheism abounds. It was winter which, in my opinion, matched the spiritual darkness or apathy of the people toward God. It was really an eye-opener for me to see the hard work our missionaries have to do in this country . . .
A Need I Could Fill
God opened the door for English Camp and made it clear that there was a need I could fill. The format of English Camp provides an incredible way to share the gospel while giving the Czechs a valuable skill . . .
Popping That Bubble
I (used to) have a very small, enclosed bubble of what I was comfortable doing and who I was comfortable talking to. Going on the trip would mean essentially popping that bubble and doing things far outside my comfort zone . . .
Churches Helping Churches: No Experience Required
TEAM UTAH 2017: This trip was something I was nervous about because I felt like I didn't have enough experience, but I was blessed with an amazing team who patiently taught me everything I needed to know . . .
