You may be asking –Why do we do short-term missions? or Why should I get involved on a short-term mission?

Let me give you a few reasons.

• Short-term missions…
• Take us out of our comfort zone and force us to see a part of the world we might otherwise ignore
• Open our eyes to the needs of others who are suffering
• Allow us to see others as Jesus sees them
• Stretch our faith
• Allow us to participate in ministering to the “least of these”
• Bond us together in a unique way with other believers who are serving with us
• Bless not only the lives of those we serve, but our own lives as well
• Remove us from the “rat-race” we call life, long enough to take a hard look at our priorities

Our goal with BULA is to give participants a chance…

• to serve Jesus in a unique way
• to participate in a life-changing adventure
• to build bridges with other cultures
• to share the good news of the Gospel around the world
• to meet the physical needs of those living in poverty
• to grow and be stretched in their faith
• to experience the reality that the family of God knows no borders – it is not limited to the USA!
