If your ship wrecks…
Southbrook has a team on a mission trip in Mexico this week. They’ve had issue after issue in starting their trip: canceled flight, missed flight in Atlanta, waited on stanby for several flights, and had to spend the night in the Mexico City airport.
Their ordeal reminded me of the flexibility required on mission trips. I went to Zambia on a mission trip when I was in college. One thing from the preparation for that trip that stuck with me was something that Pastor Walt said over and over again.
It went something like this: Be flexible no matter what happens. We’re going to be like Paul. If our ship wrecks, we’ll build a church!
No matter where we end up, the goal is still the same. Serve and share Jesus.
