This is a record-breaking summer for Global Infusion. Over the span of 3 months, we will have 10 mission teams on the field. By the time most of you receive this letter, we will have teams in Thailand, Egypt, Guatemala, Ukraine and Ghana simultaneously! For several weeks, we will have teams ministering the Gospel, evangelizing the lost, bringing food to the starving, providing medical care for the sick, caring for orphans, helping widows, training and discipling other believers, and much more!
I have recently returned from Guatemala myself, after leading one of the summer GI teams, and I must convey that foreign missions work never gets old or tiring. I will admit that this past trip was one of the most physical trips I’ve been on in a while – carrying hundred-pound bags of beans, or sixty-pound bags of assorted food items to hungry villagers in the mountains and forgotten parts of the city. I don’t share details like that for sympathy, rather, I think it is an amazing opportunity. How often does your average Christian get to travel hundreds of miles to reach the unreached? Those who have never heard the Gospel? Those who are hungry for both material food and spiritual food? If you have not come on a Global Infusion mission trip yet, you are missing out on an amazing privilege. Spending your day as Jesus did, while on the earth, is a surreal experience.
When was the last time you led someone to the Lord? Preached the Gospel in front of hundreds of unsaved teenagers? Prayed for a desperately sick person? Held an orphan? Handed children’s clothes to a widow of 8 children? Gave food to someone starving? Many of whom have no church within hundreds of miles, nor a government agency to bail them out? When was the last time you shared a life-changing experience with people you know and love? This, my friend, is what happens every day on an Infusion Adventure with Global Infusion.
