Starting this Sunday! Woo hoo!

Just sent this message out to our Facebook group:

Hey guys! As you know, the Online Missions Trip officially starts this Sunday, on Super Bowl Sunday (if you’re in the US). There’s a forum discussion started in our Facebook group about it. Are you using the Super Bowl to share Christ with your friends? Discuss it here.

Also, don’t forget to pray for this experience. The ONLY way anything good will come out of it is if the Lord is working through it, not because of our own human efforts. That’s why it’s so critical that we spend time in prayer about it, asking Him to move, to work, and to prompt those spiritual conversations with our friends. If you haven’t committed to pray for a time slot in the 24/7 Prayer Room yet, check it out.

I’m really excited about the Kingdom impact you all are going to have! Eternity will be impacted! There are well over 3,000 teenagers participating, with almost every continent on earth represented. You all are a part of a huge movement where God will use you to change lives forever! How mind-blowing is that?!

If you need any info, tips, or anything else about this trip, check out our website: OnlineMissionsTrip.com

Pre-trip training starting next week

I just sent this message out to everyone in our OnlineMissionsTrip.com Facebook Group. Thought I’d include it here for everyone else, too.

———————————————————————-

Hey everyone! Welcome to the OnlineMissionsTrip.com Facebook Group! It’s been fun to see how this group has grown as momentum for February 1-14 picks up steam.

To give you a sense of what this “missions trip to Facebook” has grown to, there are youth groups from all over the US, Canada, the UK, Australia, and even a group from Bermuda that have officially registered at OnlineMissionsTrip.com, accounting for almost 2,000 teenagers! That’s AMAZING! Keep spreading the word, guys!

My group is kicking off our three weeks of pre-trip training this Sunday. There’s plenty of resources available for pre-trip training for your group.

In fact, if you’d like, here’s the lesson I used with my youth group to discuss the Great Commission and introduce the Online Missions Trip.

A student who’s going on this trip with you had the great idea of sending out support letters for the missions trip, not to raise money, but to raise prayer support. Read more about it on our Facebook group’s discussion forum.

And finally, remember to get yourself and/or your youth group signed up for the 24/7 Prayer Room. This missions trip will only make a difference in your friends’ lives if it is saturated in prayer and the Lord is working and moving. I’d LOVE to see this trip covered in prayer for two-weeks straight, 24 hours a day. Check out the 24/7 Prayer Room.

If you have any comments, ideas, questions or whatever, feel free to post it here in this group.

Have fun starting your pre-trip training this week! The Lord is going to use you guys to make an incredible impact for Him. Woo hoo!

An idea for sending missions trip support letters

Over on our Facebook group, Hannah Nooshin suggested the idea of sending out support letters just like you would if you were going on a “normal” missions trip, except instead of asking for financial support, ask for prayer support. This is a great idea! In fact, you can even ask people to sign up in our 27/4 Prayer Room and claim a couple time slots to help saturate this missions trip in prayer.

If you haven’t yet joined our Facebook group, be sure to check it out and meet some of the other people joining you on the Online Missions Trip.
