For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the LORD Almighty."  6 Then one of the seraphs flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar. 7 With it he touched my mouth and said, "See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for."  8 Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?"       And I said, "Here am I.

26. Mission Expectations • The participant is actively involved and contributes to the mission. This will include reaching out to your church, family, coworkers, classmates to ask for donations and financial support for the mission. Stepping up to help others with tasks as needed • Attendance at mission meetings is mandatory. If there is a trend in which the participate does not come to the meetings, you will be removed from the mission. It is critical to the success of the mission that everyone attends meetings and is involved in the planning and executing of the tasks. You can expect that there will be a minimum of one meeting a month, potentially 2 as we get closer to the departure date. The more you are involved prior to going the more you are likely to get out of the mission while we are there. • Each participant must sign up to lead and/or an activity/task before and during the mission. This means that you own the activity/task. You purchase/obtain the items/donations needed and give to mission leaders for storage and packing.

The rest of the mission team (and the group we are serving) are counting on you to do the tasks and activities that are needed. • Be flexible, sometimes the plans that have been made need to be improvised due to uncontrollable circumstances such as weather conditions, transportation, etc.

28. Mission Expectations continued • Must be willing to commit your time and involvement to the mission leaders and team, participating in missions is A LOT of work, it is NOT a vacation. It will require A LOT of your spare time prior to leaving on the mission. You will be expected to participate and contribute in the activities related to the mission such as fundraising, silent auctions, church activities and special events etc. It takes time and effort from all to plan the work and work the plan. • All release forms, affidavits and deposits will be turned in on time. • The participant will be on time for meetings and events.
