Scripture: Psalm 1:1-3 KJV
1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither, and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
Verse 1 talks about change and learning. Has God been teaching you something specifically for this trip? Verse 3 talks about bringing forth fruit. What fruit/outcome are you hoping will come out of this trip?

Day 1 - Others First-- The Example of Jesus Christ
Team-- Welcome to Day 1 of our pre-trip devotions! These devotions will post each day for the next 31 days. You can share your insights by commenting at the bottom of the post.
Scripture: Philippians 2:1-11 (KJV)
1 If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, 2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. 3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. 4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. 5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Several years ago I came across the video below, John 3:16 - The Story of Love. It's a parable of sorts telling the story of the close relationship between a bridge operator and his young son and the fateful day when both try to head off an impending rail disaster. A steam train full of hundreds of passengers are unaware of the danger as they head towards an open drawbridge. Like any illustration, it ought not be taken too literally, but this video does give us a picture of the "mind (attitude), which was also in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 2:5)
Jesus went to the extreme to save us. Part of the mission trip experience is getting out of our comfort zone. What is one thing on the mission trip that will push you out of your comfort zone?
