Why Short Term Trips?





CCWC Short term missions trips gives individuals the opportunity to bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ to thousands around the world who are in desperate need of Him. The outcome of these trips, is an eternal blessing in many many ways. Mainly... it builds our faith and the faith of the ones we reach out to. Jesus was big on faith - asking us to follow Him that follows the Father. How else are you going to learn faith if not by being thrust into unfamiliar territory with an overwhelming assignment? You can study diving all you want, but until you jump off that high dive, you don't know diving!!!

Short Term Trips are a HUGE part of God calling us to full time missions or being a part of sending someone else. Paul went on a series of short term trips and jump-started the long-term mission movement.


Jesus tells us, "Go into all the world spreading the good news." The passive approach to faith is an oxymoron, we can't sit still and practice the kind of risky faith steps that Jesus is talking about. Christ sounded a TRUMPET call to battle. Christianity for couch potatoes placing their faith on safety or comfort doesn't sit well with our Lord. We've been commanded to get out of the malls and into the WORLD. The question before the court is not "IS there a mandate?" The question is, "What we should do with the mandate we've been given?"

Is God calling you? YES! Are you listening to the Call?
Get excited..... GOD WANTS YOU IN HIS ARMY!!!!
