As Christians we are called to care for those less fortunate than ourselves, those who are in need, those who are hungry, those who are sick, those who have suffered through disasters. If you have never been on a mission team, you will find it to be a source of tremendous joy, learning and sharing of Christ’s love. You will be blessed beyond anything you can imagine and you will know that you are sharing the love of Christ in ways that make a Christian difference. St. Teresa of Avila once said, “Christ has no body on earth but yours; yours are the only hands with which he can do his work, yours are the only feet with which he can go about the world, yours are the only eyes through which his compassion can shine forth upon a troubled world. Christ has no body on earth now but yours.” Join a Mission Team in 2010 and experience the joy of putting your faith into action in new settings and new cultures.
