“I think of eternity. Every person who has never heard the gospel has an eternal destination just like us. If we think about how vast and how long eternity is, we realize we cannot even begin to comprehend it. However, if we can capture just a small fraction of eternity and think about how short our lives here are, then nothing seems too big to give up for the sake of the gospel - especially not one of our college summers.”

“Summer missions is a great way to expand your worldview. You see how others live and why they do or don’t believe in God, and it stretches you. You dig into the power of prayer, take opportunities to share the gospel, and leave people with the hope you have in Jesus.”

“If you want to be a part of something that really does matter to God and for eternity, do summer missions. When you make yourself available in this capacity to serve God, you have the opportunity to grow in unique ways and witness incredible things that you might not see elsewhere.”

“God allowed me to join Him in the work He was doing in Washington, and I am forever blessed and grateful. God revealed to me my purpose and my gifts this summer that I had not ever noticed about myself before. I was put in positions that I had to adapt to very quickly. Adapting took a lot of prayer and asking God why I was there, being in the Word, and seeking out discipleship and advice from people who are farther along in their walk than I am. Turns out, God revealed to me why I was there and showed me that He had equipped me and would sustain me with all I needed to do His will.”

“What are you waiting for? If you are at all compelled to do this, then you should! God has called us all to preach the gospel to the nations and this is one of the best opportunities you’ll ever have to actively do that in a foreign land. It will grow you so much in your relationship with God, with others, and in your ministry. Your eyes will be opened to the many different people in the world and the vast lostness among them. You will see God work in amazing ways and you’ll grow a bigger heart for our awesome and faithful God and His people that He deeply loves and wants in Heaven with Him one day.”

“I learned that even though you may not feel like you’re making a difference, if you are being obedient, God is working. God so plainly tells us to go. It’s not ‘if you feel called,’ because we are ALL called. It will be hard, but our God will equip and strengthen you.”

“There is absolutely nothing better you could do with your summer than to serve as a student missionary. There are people dying without Christ, and that should be reason enough to serve. Get out of your comfort zone. Die to yourself. Serve Christ with everything and every second you have. We have received this gift of salvation, and shame on us if we keep it to ourselves.”

“If you want to experience the sweetness of dependence on Christ, do summer missions.
If you want to see the beautiful diversity of God's creation and humanity, do summer missions.
If you want to learn to pray for the nations and become a better sender, do summer missions.
If you want to see the power of God deliver you from fears, do summer missions.
If you want to learn to lament and rejoice, do summer missions.
If you want to live with more intentionally here, go there, and do summer missions.
If you want to make an eternal impact, do summer missions.”
