The Mission Journal

David Iskander led teams to Asia to help orphans in one of the most impoverished countries in the region: Myanmar. Again and again he instructed his teams to journal.

Writing lets us clarify our thinking. Writing fosters our ability to explain and refine our ideas to others and ourselves. Writing allows us to understand our lives.

And mission trips are one of the most spiritual transformative experiences we could have.

“God is going to do amazing things and release you from things that keep you from his best in your life. If you have been or encountered someone who has gone on a trip like this, you understand what I’m talking about.”

The catch, though, is that even after all those amazing things, we somehow slowly revert back to life as usual.

“I couldn’t keep up...
100 stories to capture with
only ten minutes of energy.”

David realized that even for someone like himself, journaling everything God is doing on the mission field is difficult. “At the end of any given day in country, I remember 100 stories to capture with only 10 minutes of energy. Sadly, I close my journal and nothing gets documented.”

And if you aren’t an avid writer, a blank journal is, for many, quite daunting. That’s why David created The Mission Journal.

This 168-page booklet is set up to allow up to six months of journaling, with sections for recording goals, fears, miracles, and more. Use it before, during, and after your trip.
