What does it take to transform the lives of our youth and leaders through mission trips? In this episode, you're about to find out. Join us as Pastor Chad and Pastor Garrett unravel the profound impact of mission trips on young people at FBC. Listen to Garrett’s journey from his early days in part-time ministry at the age of 19 to becoming a full-time youth pastor. His first international mission trip to Mexico was nothing short of transformative, shaping not only his faith but also his leadership in unexpected ways. We discuss how these trips create a ripple effect, fostering community and spiritual growth among youth and leaders alike.
Discover the heartwarming and challenging experience of a young leader active in youth ministry as he embark on two mission trips to Mexico. With personal anecdotes, we reveal the unexpected joys and trials he encountered, and how these moments redefined his understanding of contentment and joy beyond material wealth. As we reflect on these stories, we underscore the importance of immersing young students in mission-oriented settings. Such experiences often become pivotal, “Ebenezer” moments that illuminate their faith journey and remind them of a deeper purpose. This episode is packed with insights on nurturing these impactful encounters and guiding youth along their spiritual paths.
