Mexico. It’s the country where our founder and president emeritus, Walker Moore, took his first group of student missionaries more than 35 years ago. It’s been the starting point for many whom God has since called to full-time missionary service. It’s a short trip, but a long journey. It’s a place of deep need and deeper opportunity. It’s a place of cultural Christianity that may or may not reach the heart level. It’s a place of warmth and friendliness where people will gladly stop and pay attention to a crazy group of North Americans willing to give their all in sharing the story of Jesus. Is it the place for you? Although it may seem as though Awe Star wants you on every mission trip we put together, that’s not the case. Our desire is that every missionary who travels with us have a heartbeat of obedience. You hear God’s voice, and you do what He says. When God called Moses, he was reluctant. He had all sort of excuses. But God answered each one with a way He could certainly fulfill His call because of His great power (see Ex. 3). This had almost nothing to do with Moses’ ability and everything to do with God’s. When God called Isaiah, the prophet was so overcome by the Lord’s holiness that he cried out, “I am a man of unclean lips” (Isa. 8:5b). But with his very next words, he responded to God’s call: “Here am I, Lord, send me” (Isa. 8:8b). More important than the cost of the trip, your previous plans for spring break, or even the status of your schoolwork is the answer to this question: What has God called you to do? You have until this Thursday, February 27, to get your application in here. If God has spoken to you about joining us for our Spring Break Mexico trip, you don’t want to miss this opportunity to join Him in His work. Meet Him in Mexico, and see the unseen: the great plans He has for you there.
