Reason #1 for Taking a GDMMissions Field Team Trip

Here is #1 of 8 good reasons to take a field team trip with GDMMissions if you are considering short-term missions within the next year. Now is a good time to start praying about what direction the Lord may be leading in your life and these eight suggestions may help you pray more specifically and more intelligently about your next missions trip.

Motive is critical in short-term missions; it all depends on why you are thinking of serving God for a few weeks on the foreign field.
A suggested “Item of Prayer” will help you pray about the type of short-term missions trip that is best for you. Choosing the right mission organization and team format is because the next missions trip might change your life forever!

#1 – Fundamental Biblical Purpose, Goals, and Methods

GDMMissions is first and foremost a fundamental, Bible-centered evangelistic organization whose purpose is to assist like-minded local churches take the Gospel to foreign countries for the glory of Jesus Christ. Our doctrinal statement emphasizes exactly who we are and is not watered down to appeal to the widest audience. We are careful who we cooperate with, whether for support or team candidates; when on the field we only work with nationals and other mission organizations that are in complete agreement with our doctrine and practice. Our methods of evangelism are built around principles of practical, Biblical separation. “That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine…” Ephesians 4:14a.

Item of Prayer: That God would help you choose a mission group built on fundamental, Biblical principles whose practices at home and on the field are a reflection of those principles with which you agree.
