One thing that I miss doing is short-term Mission Trips. From 1995 through 2020, I went on 44 trips. I have been to Senegal, Mauritania, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Nigeria, Guinea, Portugal, Spain, England, Germany, Bosnia, Serbia, Latvia, Russia, Brazil, Peru, Argentina, Bolivia, Peru, Mexico, Vietnam, China, Thailand, Austria, France, Brussels, Japan, and Korea. The reason that I quit is because the travel took so much out of me. On the last trip that I went on to Sierra Leone, it took me three months before I felt good again. That might have been a fluke trip, but I think I will call that chapter in my life over. I can fly for five hours to Hawaii, but that pushes my limit. The memories I have from all those trips and sermons preached, seminars given, churches started, and prayer walks done are some of the best and fondest of my life. Some of my favorite stories are about getting stuck in the mud in Sierra Leone, getting arrested in Serbia for being spies, unknowingly drinking too much peach Brandy in Bosnia, drinking awful Yak Butter tea in China, getting stuck in China during 9/11, eating blood putting in Portugal, snails in France, sitting naked in a big Sauna with a hundred pastors in Latvia, and so many more. Short-term mission trips are the most life-changing experiences you can do. We had a parenting goal of having all of our eight kids go on a mission trip to a third-world country before they graduated from High School, and they all did. Some of my favorite trips were the ones I was on with some of our kids. If you have a chance to go on a trip, you should do it, as I said they are life-changing.
