The web site is http://texasbaptists.org/beonmission/, and I highly recommend that pastors or youth leaders or anyone else contemplating taking a group on a mission trip take a look at the most complete catalog of opportunity to do missions I have ever seen.
The web site was designed and is administered by Elizabeth Biedrzycki (Pronounced Bid-risky), someone I know very well. Elizabeth grew up being on mission with her family, her church, and sometimes with other groups. It is in her DNA to be on mission, which made her an ideal person to design and work with this web site for Texas Baptists. She was just a small child when her family started taking her to Cuidad Acuna in Mexico to work there. Recently, she went to South Africa with her dad to work in churches there. She doesn't just promote the work, she does it.
I am a big believer in church groups going on mission trips. I strongly believe it is what God wants us to do, and if we cannot go ourselves, I believe we should all help others go and pray for them as they do so.
As you visit http://texasbaptists.org/beonmission/ you will find hundreds of places where you can take a group, large or small. There are map pins for each location and when you click on each pin you will find project details and contact information for helping out. Almost every continent and every state in the USA is shown with a need.
You will see red, green and blue map pins. The red ones are the open opportunities, which the green are on-going projects, and the blue are completed projects. Red is the dominant color on the world map, with so many opportunities open and waiting.
Go ahead. Click on http://texasbaptists.org/beonmission/ and see for yourself.
