Athens Bible School Senior Trip

To begin you will need a flashlight and extra batteries. Bring a knife, lighter and some matches to start fires. Bring an extra pair of socks, gloves (not cotton) and boots in case if the weather is not on your side. A blanket would be perfect if spending the night was an option. Or a compass if you get lost. Bring bandages if you locate

It was the last semester of eighth-grade year when Trinity Christian School had officially decided where my classmates and I should go for the end of the year mission trip. The whole eighth-grade class had been anticipating the announcement all year, and the location was finally named. It was New York, the city that never sleeps. While I was on the trip, I was able to see much of what the city had to offer. However, because it was an eighth-grade trip there were many limitations on the things we could see and participate in. Therefore, this would be the place I would go if I had one ticket in my hand. I would go to New York to experience the charm that flows through the city through the city.

Have you ever been so broken spirited that you just ask “why me”? Last summer my youth group and I journey to Philadelphia for a mission trip. We would be helping plant a church and provide outreach in the local community. We all expected it to be fairly painless trip, but we were blind-sides when God decided to transform our lives, while we were taking the opportunity to revolutionize others.

The transnational ties of the Atlanta Chinese Christian Church (ACCC) with Chinese outside of the United States profoundly shaped the membership structure and development of the Chinese-American Church. Edited by Edwin Su, 大洋彼岸的長河：美國華人查經班回顧與展望 (The History of Chinese Bible Study Group in America: Its Review and Outlook) traces the origin and development of the Chinese-American Christian church in the United States from the 1950s to the present with a large number of primary sources such as images and Chinese newsletters. Considering the contributors are members of their churches, the book could be seen as a compilation of primary sources, though the editor argues that it is not an academic book. One of the contributors Jianxin Ren explores the history of the ACCC from 1963 to the early 21st century and offers many first-hand resources by using

I feel blessed for the opportunity to study Bible history and theology at Northeastern Seminary. Since seminary was never in my plans, I know God orchestrated this opportunity. As I reflect, my preparation for seminary begin in 2005 when I had a desire to become a Christian Counselor for women and children. As a result, I enrolled in a Christian Counseling program offered by the American Association of Christians Counselors. When I completed the program, I discovered that in order to become certified I needed a Master’s degree. Unfortunately, I did not have a college degree so I thought my dream to become a Christian Counselor was just dream. Additionally, I had health issues and I could not attend classes. However, seven years later I obtained a bachelor’s degree from Roberts Wesleyan College in the spring of 2012. As a result, in the fall, I begin searching for a graduate program. My plan was to enroll in an online graduate program at Roberts. However, God had a different plan. While researching the different online programs, I received a flyer from Northeastern Seminary. Thankfully, I was accepted at NES for the 2013 spring semester. Although I could have obtained a counseling certification with any Master’s degree, I believe true Christian Counseling would be more effective with the proper Christian foundation. Gratefully, I am working God’s plan for my life and God knew that I needed a program where I could obtain a solid Christian

The knights of Columbus should consider me, Emily Rosales for this scholarship since, my utmost aspiration is to follow the mission that God has given to me by helping my neighbors with dignity and respect. Therefore, I have volunteering at Holy Cross Catholic Church since 2009. I began my journey as an altar server when I received the Eucharist, the Body of Christ, then I ushered for a year, volunteer at the EDGE program for three years, and participated in the Vacation bible study for a week in the summer in the year 2014. Currently I am an altar serving, and Eucharistic minister.

This paper is a discussion of a non-religious persons encounter during a site visit to an Apostolic Church, which takes a very literal interpretation to the Christian Bible. Many topics are discussed within this paper such as materials present in the church, the ritualistic practices, socioeconomic status of members present, and the subjective reaction to the service.

To start off I'm not really a godly man, I would have to say that I wouldn't call myself a christian at all. The only reason that I attend church is to please my grandfather and it eventually became a part of my weekly schedule. On this particular day I went to church I decided that I would participate in Sunday School with my twin brother. Most of the usual stuff happened, get a piece of whatever another youth parents made, talk about how school was going, what you're going to be doing in the week to come. My teacher and his wife finally came into the room from the Fellowship Hall and we began that day bible study. The book and chapter we read escapes me at the moment, but what I do remember, clearly, is that it was about Peter and John committing miracle healing to beggars.

I would bring many items such as pillow,food,water,a book of my religion (Christianity), and many other more things. The reason I would bring all of that stuff is because you never know what you’re gonna run into. There could be an emergency,fire, or someone could be injured and they would need some of those items. Also the reason why I would bring all of those things with me is because I like to bring enough survival stuff for myself to migrate to another country. I also would like to get a lot of money for me to buy stuff there like new stuff and rare things that we don’t have in America. Many other reasons there are to have all of this stuff is if I would bring my parents something like many things such as items that I would buy

I decided to go to a Baptist Church here in Miami. The reason that I chose Coral Park Baptist Church was because most Baptist Churches that I called here in Miami had the service in Spanish but Coral Park Baptist had an English service as well. I went to the eleven o’clock service on Sunday. The whole church itself was pretty big. There is the main temple that has the regular service in Spanish and then there is a whole other building that has separate classrooms where the English service is held and other Sunday school type classes are held.

This group is to keep all teens and parents of teens updated on when and where we will be have our Bible studies. All our meetings will discussions based on the Bible that applied to the lives of teenagers. All middle schoolers and high schoolers are invited to come grow closer to Christ. This Bible Study is not exclusive to any church, but the material is biblically backed up and pastor approved.

I think this was a good strategy because it makes you think about all the things you need to bring on the trip, which you brain storm onto a list. Then you look at the list once it gets to the packing stage. Since we were all in a buddies it meant that some of the people were not regulars didn’t have to purchase themselves all the equipment that didn’t have that they needed.

Teaching bible class is a passion and job of mine in my home congregation. Bringing my students the correct information from the scriptures is important. Whether I'm teaching them about Moses or Samson, they need to understand the story from a very informed perspective. A person can only gain a limited view of the scriptures from self study. Commentaries and other reference materials can usually be found in a church library, but again those are limited to what has been donated to the library. Being a member of a congregation with a dwindling membership I've been asked to take on many different projects. They range from teaching bible class, lecturing at our local nursing home, and giving a lesson at a recent church retreat. I try to study the word of GOD on a regular basis, but in doing so

God is a word sent forth without the support of God’s will; hence, revealing the individuals position; a place outside of God’s government. This is important to understand because it is by the Word of God being spoken and properly exercised in your life that will prepare you for the great things the Lord has in store for you. Not one ounce, portion, or part of the Word of God can be omitted if the individual is to walk in harmony with the Lord.

After Pentecost, all the believers met every day at the Temple for worship and fellowship. The Church Age had begun, but they had not abandoned their Jewish customs (Wall, R. W., 2002). They looked upon themselves not as former Jews, but as the only Jews true to their heritage, for they alone had accepted Jesus, the Jewish Messiah. On a certain day Peter and John went up to the Temple at the ninth hour (about three o 'clock in the afternoon). Their purpose was to pray, but they were also looking for opportunities to spread the fame of Jesus according to Gen, R. M. (1989). They noticed there was a beggar resting on their way in. He was sitting near one of the gates, called Beautiful, and asking people to give him alms (which is money). Passers-by took pity on him because they could see he was lame and unable to support himself (Wall, R. W., 2002). In those days, someone with a severe disability such as this could not get help from the government, because there were no such things as welfare programs back then (Wall, R. W., 2002). Nor could he count on the financial support of his own relatives, because most families were very poor. They expected every adult member to bring in money, even if the only way was by begging. If a man had to beg because he was disabled, his family might leave him every day in a good place for attracting sympathy according to Hemer, C. J. (1989). The entrance to the Temple was especially good because people going to worship God were more likely to
