First Meeting on Mission Trip

XYZ Church, my church, is planning a mission trip to Nakura. A group of 6 who are going, along with others in the church have fasted and prayed in the past year for the team and those in Kenya.

Pastor Arnold, my pastor had our first mission meeting (see the PP she used). She asked us to consider how if at all to mesh XYZ’s and Nakura’s mission statements, paying particular notice to honoring Nakura’s mission. I suggested honoring Nakura's mission and scripture since both seemed bibical. The pastor agreed. We are all in agreement.

Pastor Arnold wanted to know if we had our own theology concerning mission, and did it jibe with the what we thought was the church’s theology. She asked about culture. And she asked so much more but I will get into that as a grapple with preparing. More on all this later in my blog.
