CCU Journal Entry

Being a missionary was never the question, the true question was where for the couple. “We had often talked about some kind of missionary work. In a way we had been paying back how good God had been

I hope to learn more about how to write, and read more effectively. When my boys were young, I used to write them bedtime stories. Creative writing appeals more to me, because I can make the world appear differently through creative thought. Over the years, especially since my enrollment in this program, I wished that I kept the writings and further developed them. Perhaps someday, I will have the desire to

However, with CCU long-established dedication and involvement to the integration of excellent academics, spiritual development, and engagement with the world will always be accomplished to accompany the mission that God provided (Vision and Mission at Colorado Christian University,

100 billions neurons make up the complex machine known as the human brain. With the connections these neurons make, we can experience the smells of fresh pine trees. We can think about complex concepts, such as the grammar and syntax that make up this very sentence. We can imagine the infinite, and imagine ourselves contemplating the infinite. Our brains are amazing in

Well we have to back many years ago I was just a small boy it was told that I would not amount to anything . this was told to me over and over all my life. I have accomplished some things like I became an EMT. It was a very hard thing to do back in the 70s and 80s things were different we did not have the things available like computers . At the time we had the books and that was all and there was no internet to look things up. At the time you had to go the library over the years I learned the mechanics of heavy duty trucks so I can do it but it is harder for me. I thought that I would try collage I have always been interested in the lord. As I go through this course I look to learn more about god and his plain for

Even though I studied harder than I ever had before, I still did not reach the grade I thought I deserved. He told me it was because the student who shared a desk with me earned a C and it was partially my fault. This lesson taught me that life is not just about reaching personal success but helping others reach theirs too. My schools CFX’s (Companion’s of Francis Xavier) were another way I have lived out service, spirit, and intellect. During summer vacations after my sophomore and junior year, I would spend hours in the sun hammering nails or digging the foundation where a new home would be built. At the end of every grueling day, we would discuss the reasons why this certain group of people were impoverished and the systematic ways that we could fix it. These trips helped me grow as a person and realize my place in today’s society. It also made me look at larger issues in our world such as homelessness and the border issues - I worked in solidarity building homes with people that were impacted by these matters. One of my greatest moments of service and spirit came on my senior year trip. It was Easter Mass and my group was in the

I have never known a time in my life where I have not gone to church. With that being said, it’s not my largest priority. I tend to get distracted during the school year with deadlines and hanging out with friends. It’s when I’m able to go on a mission trip that I can truly show and see what I believe in. I have been on four mission trips altogether and this summer I took a leap of faith and left the country for the first time to serve. Nicaragua held the same focuses as trips in the United States, but what I consider a mission trip from my experience in the past was not what this trip had in store.

Conveying its evangelism and discipleship preparing materials to social orders who may never have heard the sparing message of Jesus. To date, more than 2,000,000 individuals have come to Christ as the consequence of Global University's evangelism

The event or experience in my life that will influence my academic work and goals here at Colorado Christian University (CCU) is much more than a single event. I believe that everything in my life that has brought me to CCU to further my education and pursue God’s calling: helping people.

The brain is the most complicated part of the human body. I will begin explaining certain parts and their

I became interested in missions when my family and I lived abroad in Laos, Singapore, and Costa Rica; we had adopted my youngest brother and were in the process of immigrating him back to the United States. I believe that I can use my majors, Spanish and music (piano pedagogy) in evangelism and in furthering Christ and His Kingdom.

In many cases, the most dreaded preparatory process some missionary initiate, is the support raising procedure, in which individuals seek partners for prayer, encouragement, and most importantly, funds to maintain life and ministry needs. Although so difficult, this step of becoming a missionary in a cross cultural setting is one of the most vital. Yet why has this process become so painful? Over the years, research has been conducted to better the process that a missionary endures to become a missionary. Throughout this research, it appears individuals have lost the biblical basis due to Western cultural influence and have therefore lost confidence resulting in a process that is not as relational as it ought.

This course has had a great impact on my walk with Christ as well as my witness for Christ. I pastor a church and teach two classes and for me I thought that I was doing plenty. However this course has helped rekindle my passion for sharing Jesus Christ with people through personal evangelism. This paper will demonstrate what I have learned throughout this course.

I feel this would be an area in which I know I would mess up in. If i was to go into a country to teach the goseple i would probley spend all my time, locked up in my room, reading about the culture rather than out in the culture learning from the people. I aslo liked the point talking about how a typical missionary would write home saying to pray for the hearts to be opened ,but he should have already been praying for open hearts before he got there. I thought about how if i was called to missions that it would

Now that I am in seminary, I have the opportunity and pleasure to study the Lord?s word by digging deeper in biblical study, do research in various theology classes such as, race, religion, ethnic groups, and church mission classes. A major concerned that has been in my dreams for quite a while. It was just a matter of me waiting on God, observing how he made away for me in my
