Explaining colors to a blind person....

‎Today, I had a great debriefing call with a team leader who lead a team to Thailand this summer. During this call, Ellen made a statement that captured my attention!

"Every believer should go on a short term mission trip at least once because explaining missions to someone who has never gone is like trying to explain colors to a blind person." -Ellen

Have you ever tried explaining colors to a blind person? What about sound to a deaf person? Yes, you can explain it but is it the same as experiencing it? As Ellen stated, it is the same with missions, you can understand on some levels without going, but to see taste and touch the mission field is like seeing colors for the first time.

What is holding members of your church back from sending short term mission teams? Are members of your church gifted in ESL? Youth Ministry? Theological Education? Construction? Praying for others? Community Development? If so, there are needs in all these areas and others across the globe.
