Overview

A mission trip provides unique opportunities to experience God’s grace in ways that we often miss during our day-to-day routines as a Chrsitian. Over time, however, these spiritual lessons tend to be forgotten as the memories of the trip fade. On Mission is an expanded daily devotional guide, designed to help you make the most of your experience by: Spiritually preparing you for your trip. Staying connected to Jesus Christ each day of the trip through Scripture reading, devotions, reflection questions, and space to record important lessons, events, and answers to prayer. Reflecting on what God has taught you and finding new ways to stay missionally engaged after you return home.

Each of the ten daily devotionals features a bible passage from Jesus Christ’s life and ministry, an article to help the reader understand the spiritual lessons of the passage, and journaling exercises to help connect what they are learning about Christianity with events and lessons experienced on the trip. On Mission is applicable to a broad range of mission trips and suitable for Christians from high school to adults.

Patric Knaak’s On Mission is a wonderful resource not only in helping short-term missionaries prepare, reflect, and debrief their short-term missions experience but to draw closer to our Lord Jesus Christ.

—Lloyd Kim, Coordinator, Mission to the World

Patric Knaak’s devotions are wonderful for the spiritual preparation, encouragement, and reflection that should accompany (and follow) mission trips. His thoughtful, vulnerable, and dear explanations of the impact of the gospel on his heart during the ‘stretching’ experiences of mission work provide intriguing reading and inspiring thoughts for those who want Christ's identity to transform their own hearts, as well as save the souls of others.

—Bryan Chapell, Author of Christ-Centered Preaching; pastor, Grace Presbyterian Church, Peoria, IL

Patric Knaak has been on a lifelong journey to further God’s mission. With humor, transparency, and wisdom On Mission deals with the issues he has faced and lessons that can be learned on the missionary journey. Patric’s book will help the reader deal with practical challenges that require God’s grace while on God’s mission. I commend On Mission to all who would follow Christ in leaving the comfortable certainties of the home culture to spend time and effort in what will seem a strange and challenging yet enriching mission experience.

—Paul McKaughan, The Ambassador at Large, Mission Exchange
