There is No Real Competition

by Janet Birkmann

…for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. Acts 4:12 (ESV)

Short-term missions hold a special place in the hearts of many: God opens the door, and they see a need they can fill. Despite fears or doubts, they often find that no previous experience is needed to join a team, and unity between believers will see them through. In order to carry out the good works that the Lord has prepared in advance for them to do, they often have to pop the "bubble" that is their comfort zone, and rely on God's purpose, guidance, and provision as they seek to bring encouragement and support to our missionaries on the field. By the time they are ready to come home, they have made many special friends, and will say, "It could not have been any better!"
