Reason #5 For Taking a GDMMissions Field Team Trip

Reason #5 in our series on 8 Reasons to Take a GDMMissions Field Team Trip places an emphasis on fellowshipping with like-minded believers.

“That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.” 1 John 1:3

#5 – Fellowship With Like-minded Believers

GDMMissions works with missionaries and national believers who share our doctrine and goals for ministry. Not only do we agree doctrinally, but we find that whatever the culture we share the same general practices from God’s Word of conservative music for worship, modesty of dress, separation from the world, and a desire to share Christ with others. We enjoy wonderful fellowship with national believers specifically because their worship and evangelism approaches are in harmony with ours. When you take a missions trip with GDMMissions you will make lasting friendships with other believers who may speak another language and have very little materially but who have a great reverence for God’s Word and a desire to honor Him in their lives. The evangelistic zeal of many national believers can sometimes be convicting. Biblically knowledgeable, motivated, dedicated servants will challenge us to be better servants too. When you go on a missions trip with a desire to be a blessing to others you often end up being blessed yourself!

Item of Prayer: That you would choose a mission organization that emphasizes participation with like-minded churches and individuals; look for those groups who value national believers as their partners in God’s ministry; look for a mission that only fellowships with organizations and churches with whom you can agree doctrinally.
