Dear T_Laurich
Firstly u must pray and ask God, if you are called on mission trip..in my opinion, even if we are not going to do a mission trip, but we as a people of God and who are already acquainted with Christ we can be salt and light to the environment around us, to be honest these days many Christians who are alive but do not provide an example and a good example. According to me you can start by giving the example of life for people around you, when I was in school I was determined to finish my school with good, im learn as well and have the best performance, I do it to keep people around I see that there is a God in my life ...I believe you can, but I'm very appreciative and wondering about your desire to travel mission
be blessing
