Have you always yearned to embark on a life-changing mission trip, yet the barriers of time and financial constraints stood in your way? We have fantastic news for you! White Oak Christian Church is partnering with the Follower of One organization (https://followerofone.org/) to give you access to a mission trip experience in your hometown. Join us August 6th for the WOCC Marketplace Mission Trip!
Are you ready to embark on an extraordinary journey that will equip you with the spiritual habits needed to make a difference in the spaces you work and live every single day? We are excited to invite you to our Marketplace Mission Trip, where you'll not only serve others but also build essential habits that will transform your life and empower you to be intentional in your everyday encounters.
Here's why this mission trip is an incredible opportunity for you:
Pray: During this mission trip, you'll experience the power of prayer firsthand as you cultivate a deeper connection with God. By dedicating time to pray for blessings upon others, expressing gratitude, and surrendering your day to God's guidance, you'll develop a habit of relying on Him in all aspects of your life.
Appreciate others: Our mission trip encourages participants to go beyond their job descriptions and truly appreciate their bosses and employers. By understanding the selfless sacrifice of Christ, you'll gain a new perspective on serving others, taking responsibility for doing a good job, and seeking understanding through active listening. This habit will help you create a positive and uplifting atmosphere wherever you go, making a lasting impact on the people around you.
Know what you believe: Throughout this mission trip, you'll delve into your beliefs and learn to articulate them using everyday language. This habit will equip you to confidently share your faith and engage in meaningful conversations about your relationship with Christ, both in your workplace and personal life.
Serve others: Drawing closer to God opens our hearts to the needs of those around us. This mission trip will provide opportunities for hands-on service, enabling you to tangibly impact lives and bring God's love to those in need. Serving others will become a natural outpouring of your relationship with God, transforming your daily interactions and leaving a lasting legacy of compassion and kindness.
Speak for yourself: The transformation that occurs within you during this mission trip will be evident to others. As you engage in prayer, serve with love, and appreciate those around you, people will take notice. Your actions will become a powerful witness for Jesus, prompting others to inquire about the source of your joy and purpose. This habit of speaking for yourself will enable you to share the incredible ways God has worked in your life, leading others to discover the transformative power of faith.
It's time to turn your dream of a mission trip into a reality. Join us on the WOCC Marketplace Mission Trip! As you embark on this life-changing adventure, you'll not only make a difference in the lives of others but also develop spiritual habits that will empower you to live intentionally and bring God's love to every space you encounter.
