This is way outside my comfort zone! What am I doing here?
1) God called, provided, and afforded the opportunity to go on mission (others were not able to go do to health, prior commitments, and fear of the unknown).
2) You are taking part in the great commission (making disciples) and putting feet to your faith.
3) You are taking a risk.
Risk Management:
1) Jesus rewards Godly risk (Mt. 6:25-33).
2) There are no guarantees.
3) All of life involves risk.
4) when you do need to risk, risk on things that are worth it.
5) manage risk by training yourself to do three things: be alert, be knowledgeable, and be wise.
6) when something bad happens - be calm and compliant.
7) don't make the focus of your trip eliminating or managing risk.
How should I respond to fear? Pray and jump in.
How should I respond to the unexpected? Be flexible, have fun, and don't flip out.
