What is Destination Unknown anyway?

I've been talking a lot about Destination Unknown and realized that I haven't fully explained what exactly Destination Unknown is. Destination Unknown is a mission trip sponsored by my church (Northwest Bible Church) where we prepare for a mission trip and don't find out where we are going until the day we leave. We've been preparing as a team since November and leave February 15th. The purpose of the trip is to trust and serve the Lord with reckless abandon, joyfully serving Him and others wherever you go.
This is the second year my church has done this trip. Last year the group was divided into 2 teams. One team went to Memphis, TN and learned about re-neighboring and did a lot of work in the city. The second team went to Indonesia and spent time with missionaries there. They spent most of their time praying for the people there.
Not only do we not know where we will be going but we don't know what we will be doing. I'm excited for this step of faith and to see what God has in store. If you live in Dallas please come to Northwest Bible on Sunday February 15th at 9:45. We are having one service with a mission focus and that is when they will announce where we are going for Destination Unknown. We leave after the service. We will be keeping up with the trip at http://destinationunknown2.wordpress.com. Check it out.
