“I would really love to go on a short term mission trip, but…”
What is the answer to this statement? First of all, going on a short-term mission trip is a great honor and privilege, not a sacrifice.

But what about family, and career, and calling, etc. Aren’t these important considerations? Yes, by all means. But they are not the most important! The ‘normal’ Christian life is one that requires you to leave family and careers.

But what about calling? Don’t wait for a call. If you have the time and the opportunity and you are called, you should sacrifice family time and career time and do whatever you can on one of our mission trips in order to make a difference in this world for the Kingdom of God.

Short Term Mission Trips For 2009
We are planning the 2009 short-term mission trips now! Stay tuned for a complete list of destinations. Begin NOW to pray about where God would have you join Him in ministry!

The Global Missions Offering (GMO) is the means by which LBC invests mission dollars in our community, our nation, and around the world. All funds given to the GMO are used solely for mission projects from Lexington to all over the world.  LBC members make a pledge to the GMO during our annual Global Impact Celebration and then they fulfill that pledge over the next year by using their regular offering envelopes. A ministry team within our church, comprised of 13 people, called the Global Impact Team (GIT) makes the decision of where those mission dollars go and also prepare a proposed budget each year with specific line items and amounts.  Throughout the year, the GIT meets monthly to disburse funds to various ministries and projects and to review new proposals.”
