Dear Friends & Partners,

This is the time of year many of us make decisions as to what to do with our summer vacation time. If you are one of those people, my challenge is for you to consider a vacation with a purpose!

We call it a JESUS Film Partner Trip. Whether you go alone or travel with your spouse, children, grandchildren, or friends, your life will never be the same because missions and service will be personalized in both your mind and spirit. And, of course, we will have a good time in the process. The following is a list of trips that each offer a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Join me or one of my associates for the best trip of your life to one of the following countries:

Here are a few comments shared by folks who have gone on recent JESUS Film Partner Trips:

“I never in my wildest imagination expected such amazing accommodations. It was nice to have the peace of mind to have clean water. And to start each day off with such an amazing spread of food for breakfast. I can't remember the last time I ever ate such healthy breakfasts. We were truly blessed!” (Honduras)

“The trip was full of God's wonder…” (Guatemala)

“Wow! What an opportunity to witness the power of the Holy Spirit saving and changing lives for all eternity. I hope and pray that many more lives can be moved by any means necessary. I am so excited to be going to Argentina. I can’t wait.” (Sierra Leone)

“It was a blessing to be in Mexico with you and the rest of the team. The Holy Spirit was moving on every corner we traveled to…” (Mexico)

“Wednesday night at the JESUS Film showing 95 committed their lives to Christ. I spoke with one lady who has two children and is expecting a third. Her husband left her for another woman. She spoke very good English so I was able to pray with her and encourage her to trust God to help her. Her mother is opening up her home for Sunday services. It is wonderful to see God working in this community.” (Panama)

“God is so good. It is exciting to see the local congregation working so hard to share the gospel. It is young and old alike going out with us into the community. Continue to pray with us and for us as we show the film the next few nights.” (Panama)

“The trip was awesome. It is hard to say what was most meaningful. The Guatemalans were warm, friendly and receptive to us. The film showings were successful and many received Christ. The Holy Spirit was present with us.” (Guatemala)

“The trip was great; God opened our eyes and we were all blessed… our team as well as the people we served.” (Guatemala)

Again, my challenge to you is to plan this year's vacation with a purpose.

Sharing Jesus through the JESUS Film while seeing the world could be the best investment of your lifetime!

Blessings on you,
