Pre-trip Interview - 4

Tim Witte, our trip spiritual leader, has this to share about why he is going back to New Orleans for clean-up efforts:

"When I returned from the first Gulf Coast Mission trip in April of 2006, I experienced many exhilarating feelings. Each time someone would ask me about the trip was an opportunity for me to witness for Jesus and at the same time, I was able to relive the mission trip in my mind.

" In January of 2007, I prayed to God about where He wanted me in His service. His answer was return to New Orleans. The Lord knew that I needed to give back to the Concordia Mission Program for all my positive experiences before, during, and after the 2006 trip. By becoming involved in Gulf Coast Mission-2, I could help prepare its’ new members, rebuild more homes, and give hope to more people in New Orleans for a better future. I cannot describe the looks on their faces or the appreciation in their hearts that a stranger would travel across the country to show they care about them.

"If the Lord is tugging at your heart, even a little bit, to become involved in a mission project, I encourage you to pray to Him concerning your involvement. Concordia has many different mission opportunities that can fit your present life and you too, can have these “mountain top” experiences."
