A Tree with Three Fruits…

We are 42 at Bethanie this week, with teams in training for mission activity next week in Lisieux, France and Slavonski Brod, Croatia. We have young adults from the UK, France and the Netherlands, and are really impressed by their passion and talent… Our deep conviction is that mission is a tree with three fruits. The energy these young leaders are investing this week will bear fruit, without doubt, in the towns they serve in. There will be young people and children in Lisieux and Brod whose lives will be impacted by these teams. But there will also be fruit in these young people themselves. As we work, pray and play with them, we see evidence of the deep works of God in their lives. We know that none of them will return unchanged from the adventure they have undertaken. Which is why a third fruit will also grow: in the impact they have on the churches and communities they return to. Our mission trips may well be defined as short-term, but we know that they will result in long-term change.
