Adonai Partners is committed to giving team members a unique opportunity to experience God's amazing love as we serve poor and unreached people in Africa. It's not enough to say we're Christians or that we love God. The love that Jesus demonstrated always involved sacrifice. He showed us what God's love looks like…. and we proclaim this love by words and deeds of compassion among the poor. Imagine what difference you could make, as you respond to God’s call to give Him two weeks this summer.

"Mission is simply a profound public display of affection. To say you love like Christ loved, you have to show it in practical ways as Christ did. All through Scripture Jesus healed, touched, forgave sin, ate with, and taught those whom the world at that time neglected. It is only natural as followers of Christ today that we walk in His footsteps. Being His hands and feet, teaching and bringing healing to those who are hurting.”

Summer 2013 Mission Trips

"Expect great things from God; attempt great things for God"

                                                                                   - William Carey

 

*Jesus drew large crowds wherever He went. Yet time after time, He stopped to touch that one person who needed to experience His love and forgiveness: Zacchaeus, Mary Magdalene, Bartimaeus, Thomas. He addressed multitudes. Yet He called individuals to come follow Him. Whether it was walking all day on the dusty roads of rural Palestine, going without food or water, staying up all night teaching and praying, Jesus sacrificed much to minister to that one person. He washed the feet of His disciples. He gave the people the words of eternal life but also provided real fish and bread to thousands who were hungry. When He gave His own life to die on the cross for those who didn't even know Him or deserve it, He demonstrated the ultimate sacrificial love by action beyond His teaching.

 

He passed on this legacy of sacrificial love to His followers when He told them, "By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another" (John 13:35) and "I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me." (Matt 25:40). And this was exactly what the early followers did. In the first century, at a huge risk to their own lives, His followers constantly sacrificed to show His love. They took abandoned babies from the streets, bandaged the wounds of soldiers - even those who had tortured believers - and rushed into cities ravished by plagues to minister to the sick. This is our heritage. This is how our faith was born and triumphed over hostile opposition. When the first believers decided to follow Christ, they knew it meant a lifestyle of sacrificial love.

 

Now it's our turn. It's not enough to say we're Christian or that we love God. The love of Jesus always involved sacrifice. This summer you can take up the legacy of Jesus' love and serve some of Africa's most vulnerable people. But it will take sacrifice. Giving away part of your summer, raising money to get there, eating food that is unfamiliar or maybe going without food, sleeping in uncomfortable places, working long hours for people you don't even know, and putting a smile on the face of a child. Will you do it because you know how highly He values them? Jesus showed us what God's love looks like. He came to those whom society overlooked, rejected, ignored or even oppressed, the most desperate and vulnerable. And He calls us to follow in His steps, will you?

What if you could do something really significant next summer?
What if poverty was more than an abstract thought, but a reality? What if your world stopped every time you lost a loved one to disease, warfare or famine? What if you had only one life to live! Will you go to the movies, get a summer job, talk on the phone, play video games, send hundreds of text messages every day or just hang out with your friends all summer? Why not choose to do something that is both meaningful and life changing. Many people around the world don’t have the necessities like clean water or a good meal. Not even the things we take for granted like multiple clothing options, name brand shoes, leisure time or entertainment.

“Gulu reminded me of where I grew up. We didn't wear shoes to school. We carried our own chairs to the classroom. We didn’t have any books. The trip also gave me an opportunity to invest in what God is doing in Africa, extend God’s hand to the needy and put a smile on the faces of the people we met...”
