VOX is embarking on a Nieu Communities Road Trip, July 14-27, 2007 in Glascow, Scotland. Cost is $600 plus airfare. Email Drew ASAP if you’re interested.
Scotland is a perfect location for such a trip. It offers a new cultural perspective, but without a language barrier. It also provides a chance to see how churches in Europe are impacting their surrounding culture for Christ. These are lessons that we can take back with us to our context, here in NW Ohio.
Why a NieuCommunities Road Trip? Good question. I’m glad you asked.
- On a mission trip you go to help people. On a ‘road trip’ you come to be with people.
- On a missions trip you go to speak. On road trip you come to listen.
- On a missions trip you go to see the world. On a road trip you come to better understand the world.
- On a missions trip you go to accomplish something. On a road trip you come to be transformed.
There it is. Now…will people be helped as a result of our time in Scotland? Will we have opportunities to speak truth into peoples lives? Will we accomplish things? Of course. But the focus is different. The focus is listening, discernment, and transformation.
Pray about it. Talk about it. And sign up.
