Mission Project : I And Seven Other Missionaries

Before hearing about the need in different parts of our world, I never considered going on a mission trip. Last summer during show choir camp, our choreographer told us about a charity called Thirst Project. Thirst Project is an organization that builds wells in Africa so the citizens can have clean drinking water. Knowing that there are people out there drinking brown, gunky water filled with animal feces breaks my heart, because there are steps that we can all take to help solve that problem. For me, one of those steps is going on a mission trip. If I could help even one person live a higher quality life, I will be satisfied, knowing that I have made a purpose to my life. Another time that my eyes were opened was this summer. One of my friends went on a mission trip to Haiti with her church, and seeing pictures from their trip moved me to have an even stronger desire to go on one myself. Both the children in Haiti and the people serving them were both so joyful,

At church, in addition to my participation in the worship services, I volunteered at our church’s soup kitchen, medical camps and elementary school for underprivileged children. These experiences opened my eyes to the deprivation of love and care in the world and a dire need of God’s grace for people at large so they could receive forgiveness, healing and restoration in their lives.

Doing service our community is a big part of our school. For religion class we have to do service for our community.

While going to college I got to have the experience of a lifetime. Myself, and a group of 15 others went on a mission trip to New Orleans, Louisiana. We all got to see many cultural differences and help people in need. Helping people in need just

I found this chance to help people a way to get to know the people in my youth group, but I learned so much more than I thought I would. What amazed me the most out of everything on this trip was the willingness of kids my age to help those around them. During that week in Denver, I also had the chance to meet some of the other youth from other cities in Missouri. A lot of them whom had remarkable stories. Their reasons for helping out during this mission trip were much greater than my own, I was astounded. They had told me about their past, the struggles and valleys that they had gone through that lead them to help those who are going through the same situations or worse. One story struck me the most. One about a boy and a past fight with drug abuse. He said that one day he felt this indescribable jolt and he just lost it. He broke down and asked himself what he was doing with his life. After asking around and seeking help, he went to the local church one Sunday. That was when he met the youth leader that helped him through his

In my lifetime, many experiences have changed my character, with the most memorable being the mission trip I took to Parmelee, South Dakota. This endeavor showed me how to be caring and love everyone, despite their circumstances. Although it took time, I learned to show kindness to everyone and not just the people I feel comfortable around. During my missions work, one child revealed to me how to be compassionate to people who may not deserve it, and to give to other unconditionally.

mission trip to Nicaragua. There are two camps this year in Toccoa, GA from June 20-24 and June 25-29. We will be in Nicaragua July 10-17. The experience I had in Nicaragua last year was by far the most outstanding part of the ministry. We stay with The Mustard Seed

Compassion, integrity, love, kindness, and selflessness all exist among us. I believe that there is nothing evil in us that cannot be overcome by what is good in us. I must act accordingly.

It really touched my heart what Elder Cook did for his classmate when he was in first grade. It is incredible how at a short age he was mindful of the needs of others, it not only say a lot about his spiritual character, but it says a lot about his parents and the way they were raising him. I also found very inspiring what Elder Cook did to receive his own testimony of Joseph Smith, the Church, and the Book of Mormon –he went to his room, knelt in prayer, and asked for the same witness his brother had. If we are lacking a testimony in a specific area, then we should do what those who have a strong testimony have done to get our own testimony of that principle; that is exactly what Elder Cook taught us through his example when did not have his

Although education in Niger is free, the country is nearly entirely rural with an unevenly distributed population. These factors have lead to a lack of school buildings in nearly every part of Niger, and as a result, Niger has an adult literacy rate of only 28.7%; this being the second lowest literacy rate in all of Western Africa, trailed only by Burkina Faso (21.8%). Niger’s education system is based on the incredibly successful model of France which consists of: primary school, secondary school and finally higher education. While this model has been effective for the French, most children in Niger will

The proportion of children who are enrolled in primary schools has increased from 49% to 77% in the past decade in sub-Saharan Africa. This increase in enrollment is due mostly to the initiative of the governments from these regions to improve universal primary education. However, much remains to be done because even though enrollment has been made a possibility in a lot of these countries, there are a lot of other variables at play that still prevent children from receiving a quality education. Things such as poverty, cultural traditions, gender violence, and the incidence of early marriage are a major reason for disadvantaged groups, particularly poor girls, not making as much progress in enrolling

It’s all about giving when it comes to Bethlehem Assembly of God (BAOG). It is one of the things we pride ourselves in most. We are the number one ranked Assembly of God church when it comes to missions. BAOG supports approximately 100 missionaries and organizations around the world. Many of our missionaries come back to my church during Missions weekend to give the congregation an update on their work and travel. One of the missionaries the church supports told us the story of her trip to India.

Some of the world’s poorest countries, with some of the highest child labor and illiteracy rates lie in Sub Saharan Africa. People generally associate the region only with poor economic conditions and all of the social disorder that goes along with 3rd World Status. While some of this reputation is deserved, many people are also failing to see the vast potential for this part of the world. There are several factors that African governments should look into if they want to effectively and efficiently revamp this areas quality of life. One way to do so is by improving the more crucial aspects to healthy functioning region, for example, allowing children to possess their natural rights to a decent education. This could influence an increase
