Vision Trip and Giving

Two days ago Pollett and I bought the plane tickets for the Vision Trip that we will be taking over to Lima, Peru in March during Spring Break. It's crazy to even think about at this point that Summit is about to become an overseas partner with a people group. Our "little" church is going to do something in another continent. That's amazing!

Of course we say "little church", but everyone knows (hopefully) that it's God, not us who chooses to will and to act according to His good purpose and pleasure. The Vision Trip has been getting some questions from people in the church (particualry this past Sunday) about "what" will be happening on that, and "why" is there a need for a Vision Trip? I will answer these now.

We are about to embark on partnering with a people group. That doesn't mean this is a single mission trip, it doesn't mean that we are going to meet some people over there and make sure it's "ok" to come back. It means that we are going over there ahead of time to begin a relationship with this people group, to see who we are able to work with and feel God's calling towards, to meet with the Mayor's of these many small villages, to work with the International Mission Board to see where Summit will be staying, and what we need to prepare for once we're there in May.

I will write more this later as we begin to plan the Vision Trip, and see what God is doing over there.

Nicholas Eph 5:1
