Getting Involved in Short Term Missions

Being involved in short term missions is a life changing event, both for  the participants and those to whom they minister. But not everyone can go on a short term missions trip. How else can you be involved in short term missions? I'm glad you asked. Check out this video for some ideas.

The Impact of Short Term Missions

The impact of short term missions trips is really two fold. The team obviously has the opportunity to impact the people to whom they minister. However the team members are also impacted as they share the love of Jesus. Music by hooksounds.com

Discipleship STAR Team 2017

Discipleship STAR Team is the frosting on the cake for our STAR Teams. After having visited the same churches with the two previous STAR Teams, it was a blessing to see our friends in Honduras once again. This video doesn't do justice to the joy expressed in our Honduran brothers and sisters as they learned some of the basic biblical principals we sometimes take for granted. Please "Like and Share." Thanks.

Evangelism STAR Team-Friday


Friday was a day of flexibility as plans changed several times throughout the day, however some of those changes allowed us to send extra teams into the community of Nueva Esperanza. There is a new church plant there and we were able to help reach deeply into that community with the Gospel. Please "Like and Share" this video to help us spread the word about what God is doing. Thanks.

Evangelism STAR Team-Thursday

Today we were able to meet with Julissa Vasquez and her mother. If you remember from our Medical STAR Team, she was the young girl who had several fingers that were connected to each other from birth. She was very happy to see us and said she has followed some of the STAR Team videos on FB. She also said she was very happy to have had the surgery. Please "Like and Share" so others can see what God is doing. Thanks.

The group I went out with Tuesday was in the area of Nueva Esperanza (New Hope). This was a community that used to be near a river but everything was destroyed by an overflowing river.
