Tithe your vacation

April 23, 2005

What a wonderful idea and yes, Everybody Should Do This Once in Life.

I've been thinking along the same lines this last year. Bringing the reality and importance of missions home to our family has been a considered thought. I didn't know how to go about doing this, but just recently I was looking at some missions websites and I found that many offer short-term family mission trips. Whether its building housing and schools in Appalachia or going oversees, there is a broad variety. How great it would be to study a country, an area, a need and come to know and love the people before arriving - and than spend vacation time acting on the love that the Holy Spirit has put upon your heart.

Here are a couple of links: World Vision Family and Teen Trips, Mission to the World - 1 month trips and many others. Tithe your vacation.
