It’s made me more mission minded in my everyday life. In doing short term missions, I’ve recognized
that kingdom-mindedness isn’t just for mission trips, life can be lived missionally everywhere.
The first short term mission trip I went on was when I was in middle school. There was a foot washing ceremony where parents and leaders washed the feet of the kids, and my dad washed my feet. It was one of the most beautiful experience and pictures of the love of God the Father. It was a life changing moment for me.
