BEFORE: GOD AND US

WHY GO?


BIG IDEA

There are a lot of reasons youth ministries engage in service projects, mission trips, and other kinds of justice work. Early on in the experience, it's a good idea to determine exactly why we're going and to state that reason in one clear sentence we can share with others.


THINK ABOUT THIS

You probably do things every day that you don't put much thought into. You might call them "no-brainers" — you just do them, seemingly without even thinking — for example, brushing your teeth, putting on deodorant (hopefully!), breathing, and tying your shoes. Write a couple of no-brainers here:

_______________________________________________________________

_______________________________________________________________

_______________________________________________________________


Service projects and mission work shouldn't be no-brainers, though.

So here's a big question: Why am I going?


DO THIS

In the space below, list all the reasons you can think of for why you're going on this trip. Then circle what you think are the one or two main reasons.

* How do you think the people who will host you might feel about these motives?

* Are there ways you could be more sensitive to the reasons God might want you to be involved in this work?

* Why are you going togethe
