There are so many sacrifices one has to make when deciding to participate in a mission--the expense of the trip itself, being poked and prodded, figuring out what to pack, leaving loved ones behind, etc., etc. But those things are such a small price to pay when you look at even the tiniest impact you will make. Sure I will be leaving my precious little boy behind for 11 days, but he is the least of my concerns. I know that he will be well fed and cared for and loved while I am gone. But I am going to help feed and love on little ones who don't get it from Mommy and Daddy because they have neither. I am leaving my nice, warm, spacious home to help build a home for a widow/er and children that is probably the size of my garage. it's the little things that matter. Christ said, "40 The King will answer and say to them, ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.’" (Matthew 25:40). Ministering to these people we will come into contact with in Kenya is like ministering to Him. We are doing GREATER!
