Dr. Popp, accompanied by his daughter, Callista, son, Maximos and niece, Victoria, spent the week of June 5, 2017 on a Mission Trip in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. The trip was coordinated through CURE International, a faith based non-profit dedicated to healing and serving children with physical disabilities.
Sep 11, 2023 · Short-term mission trips provide an avenue to fulfill the commandments of Jesus, who urged his followers to love their neighbors and make disciples of all nations (Matthew 22:39, Matthew 28:19-20). These trips embody the Great Commission, offering a practical way to share the message of Christ with people in need.
- World Perspective - The number one life lesson learned was the broadening of their worldview. One person wrote, “It's critical to have a prolonged experience where you are the minority.
- Compassion - Another life lesson learned through mission trips was compassion. Pain, suffering, and the reality of poverty were no longer things just read about in text books, discussed in classrooms, or seen on the evening news.
- Servanthood - It’s easy to start believing mission trips are about us. It’s a sneaky, subtle thing that we must constantly be on guard against. Even spiritual statements like, “I want to go to get closer to God,” belies a wrong focus — yourself.
- Trust in God - Mission trips are not cheap. They cost money. Oftentimes fundraising involved. Asking people for support is humbling, but over and over again people spoke of how they learned the valuable lesson of God’s faithfulness.
Apr 26, 2016 · Mission trips are a life-changing experience, regardless of your background. Each trip is different and that's what makes them special. For my spring break, I went to Belize with a group from Reformed University Fellowship (RUF) at my school.

He was a brilliant, pious, zealous, and well-educated Pharisee, from a wealthy and well-connected family. Saul was obviously intimately acquainted with the Hebrew Scriptures, but was also thoroughly acquainted with Greco-Roman history, language, and culture. Saul became ...
After some heavy persecution of the Christians in Jerusalem, some believers ended up living in the city of Antioch. They preached the gospel there and a “great number” believed in Jesus (Acts 11:21). When the apostles in Jerusalem heard about this, they sent a man named Barnabas to Antioch to serve in the church there (Acts 11:22). Barnabas was a p...
Barnabas and Saul sensed the call of the Holy Spirit to go out on their first missionary journey (Acts 13-14). Sometime around 46 A.D. (or 47 A.D.), Barnabas and Saul were set apart by the Holy Spirit and sent out on their first missionary journey by the church at Antioch.
After returning, Barnabas and Paul learned about a particular faction from Judea that had been confusing many Christians in the region by preaching a false gospel. This group had been preaching that, in order to become a Christian, the Gentiles must follow the Old Testament law, including circumcision (Acts 15:1). Barnabas and Paul seem to have spe...
Not long after the Jerusalem Council, Barnabas and Paul began planning their second missionary journey. They believed it was essential that they go to the Gentile world to proclaim the statements that came from the council. Originally, Barnabas and Paul had intended to go out together again, however, they had a “sharp disagreement” (Acts 15:39). Th...
Paul likely started his second missionary journey (Acts 15-18) sometime late in 50 A.D. or early in 51 A.D. (but some scholars date both the council of Jerusalem and the launch of this missionary journey as early as 48 A.D.).
After getting back from his second missionary journey, the apostle Paul stayed Antioch for “some time” (Acts 18:23). Maybe just a few weeks or few months. He then launched his third missionary journey (Acts 18-21). Paul likely left for his third missionary journey in the spring of 54 A.D. This third missionary journey was probably more than four ye...
While in Jerusalem, Paul went to the temple to worship and pray. While he was there, some Jews from Asia Minor stirred up trouble for Paul. They accused him of abandoning the one true God of Israel, of maligning the law of Moses, and of encouraging people to disobey the Jewish laws. Paul (obviously) denied this charge. This confrontation caused a r...
After his appeal to Rome, the apostle Paul is transported from Caesarea to Rome by ship under Roman guard (Acts 27:1-28:10). Some Bible scholars allude to this journey as Paul’s fourth missionary journey, but I don’t believe that’s the best or most accurate description for this trip. Paul’s trip to Rome was tumultuous, filled with difficulties, inc...
