The
key word "Go" also covers another very important area. Finances! It
doesn't matter whether or not you have the finances (at the beginning of
your commitment). When God lays it on your heart to go on a missions
trip you continue to pray, and you start making plans to go, by faith.
You begin making whatever preparations you can (at that current time) to
prepare to go. I've heard so many well-meaning folks say, "I would love
to go on a missions trip, but I just don't have the money." Always
remember, money doesn't determine God's will for missions, He does. He established the rule over 2000 years ago when He said, "Go into all the world!" God is
responsible for providing the finances for a missions trip when we
commit to going. I've seen Him miraculously supply over and over through
the years.
Once
you've committed to going on a missions trip, and you're praying and
preparing, then you look for ways to help to raise money to finance your
trip. But again, never let
finances (or lack thereof) be the reason you can't or don't commit to
going on a missions trip. Embrace His command to "Go!" and He will open
incredible opportunities to take the Gospel of Jesus to anywhere He
wants you to go! Jesus faithfully stands behind His commandment for you
and me to "Go into all the world and preach the Gospel." Your part, and
my part is to obey and GO!
