Elizabeth’s Perspective on International Ministry:
“Before my first mission trip, I was skeptical about how much a short-term team could really accomplish in a couple of weeks. After spending two and a half weeks in Romania, my perspective was totally changed. Far more happened in those couple of weeks than I could have dreamed possible. The Lord greatly blessed our ministry. I think the best night was the evening I was able to pray with five kids who wanted to receive salvation. However, it wasn’t just a time of service, I also watched in amazement as the Lord used those weeks to change the lives of the team members (including me). We learned to trust God as we never had before, we saw the reality of His presence and work in our lives, and our personal relationships with Him were challenged and strengthened. One of the primary reasons I continue to take teams on international trips is because I want to see more young people experience this same growth and change in their lives.”
