The Hands and Feet of Christ....

I believe mission trips provide us with the opportunity to be the "hands and feet" of Christ.
I've been fortunate enough to do mission work in Mexico and Russia, and now I have the opportunity to do the same in Africa. I'm trusting that God will use the talents He's given each of our team members to accomplish the work He has planned for us in Malawi. Together, we will be the body of Christ as this poem by St. Teresa of Avila calls us to be:

Christ has no body but yours
No hands, no feet on earth but yours
Yours are the eyes with which he looks
Compassion on this world
Yours are the feet with which he walks to do good
Yours are the hands, with which he blesses all the world
Yours are the hands, yours are the feet
Yours are the eyes, you are his body.
Christ has no body now on earth but yours.
