In Luke 10, Jesus sent his followers on a life-changing mission trip. He gave them specific, practical, spiritual advice to help them prepare. His advice is still the best guide for preparing for mission trips today.
Are you preparing for a mission trip? Jesus was clear: everyone who follows him is sent and should prepare for mission. It may be across the street or across the ocean, on a special mission trip or in your everyday life, but if you are following Jesus, you are sent!
This 10-day devotional series on Luke 10 gives insight for your life of service wherever and whenever you are sent, but especially as you prepare for a mission trip.
