Over the past couple of weeks I have been researching different missions opportunities for the youth group that I work with to do. They are going to Mexico this summer and it costs about $1,500 for each student to go. A lot of people in the church are opposed to the student sgoing because of how much money it costs. But the kids are doing fundraisers and are trying very hard to reach their goals of how much money they are earning. It just seems like the people in the church are spending more time worrying about all the money they are spending, especially the parents, which I can understand. But at the same time, I also see the wonderful things they are going to do while there, and it just seems stupid to not realize the worth that comes along with it. It seems like unless it's easy and convenient, people, (especially parents) it seems aren't really that interested. We need to speak out and show them all that can be done through missions trips!
