What are we all about?

The last trip to New Mexico was the most incredible experience of my life. That's when God became so real to me, and I just had no doubt that the "normal" way of life, was just...anything but normal! If that even makes sense. But ever since then, even with all the downs in life... there has never been another doubt in my mind about the fact that God is MY Father, and He wants a personal, intimate relationship with me! .........an unsolicited comment from someone who enjoyed a recent mission with us

What are we about? 

Simply put, we are here to help. However, the quote above probably does a better job of explaining why we do what we do than anything I could type. 

It’s one thing to read about God, it’s another to actually experience Him by working alongside others meeting the needs of people.

For several years, Home School Missions has taken groups of ordinary people, like you and me, to various places throughout the world to, well……to change lives.

The best part of our mission trips is that while we are helping people, the people going on the trips are far more blessed than they could ever imagine and often times, more than the people we actually help.

What we have found is that if we can get families away from their iPhone, iPod, laptop, HDTV, Wii, PSP, PS2, Facebook, Twitter, My Space, career, school, and anything else that occupies our thoughts, and to work alongside others to help someone, miraculous things begin to happen.

Once our minds are clear from all the media clutter and we are in an environment of doing the work of the Church, not the brick and mortar church, but the actual work of the body of Christ, where we are meeting the needs of the people, God works in lives in miraculous ways and lives are changed.
