I remember my first UMVIM trip: I was a fairly new pastor and Hurricane Katrina<\/strong><\/span><\/a>\u00a0had just hit. I wasn\u2019t experienced, but I knew how to read directions and where to get my questions answered. I knew getting insurance through UMVIM<\/span><\/strong><\/a>\u00a0was imperative (too many things can go wrong) and that being an officially sanctioned UMVIM team would make our lives safer, more organized, and give us better support, should we need it.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Something I didn\u2019t know: there are things called \u201cbest practices.\u201d I learned about them as I asked my questions, and we had all the needed paperwork and background work completed before we left. And I learned the most important lesson of all. When I am in mission, I am always in mission \u201cwith others\u201d<\/em>, rather than in mission \u201cto others\u201d<\/em>. Those we serve bring their own gifts, their own skills, just as surely as we do \u2013 and many of them reflect Christ to us in powerful, life-changing ways.<\/p>\n

\"\"We are training team leaders for UMVIM teams this October and November \u2013 but anyone is welcome to attend the training, even if you don\u2019t plan to become a team leader. Do you want to help respond to Hurricane Harvey<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, or the Rebuild Projects in Okanogan County<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, or in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, as I helped in Mississippi, then in Texas, then in White Swan? Come be trained. Learn the \u201cbest practices\u201d and how to implement them. And prepare for an opportunity to meet Jesus in new ways, in new people, in new locations.<\/p>\n
