Soon after loading all of the day’s supplies on a trailer, the MVP team experienced a flat tire. Once they changed it and got back on the road, the trailer hitch on their vehicle broke. After trading out the damaged vehicle for another, they paused for a moment to pray over the trailer and the hitch.

I’m sure that most people who go on MVP trips spend most of the week in personal reflection and introspection.  It is an experience unlike any other.  We are blessed to be able to go and to be the ones to experience God’s desire to save the lost.  However, our responsibilities do not end when we arrived home…we need to take the message of what He is doing all over the world to the many here at home who have never gone or ever thought of going.  We need to be His advocates.  He is alive and moving, and wants His followers to join with Him to reach this lost world.  It is not about what we have done, but rather about what He has done through us, and the great privilege we are granted to be able to participate.

Here are the results of the recent investments made by an MVP team (May 24-31, in Honduras) on His behalf for you to share with your families, churches, and social circles.  If you have never been on an MVP trip, this is the kind of impact our teams have on the communities they serve.  If you have been on an MVP trip, encourage those around you to likewise participate in some form of missions outreach.
