By attending the missionary trip to South Africa, I have touched the lives of many just as they have for me in their own ways. However, they may not even realize that they have changed my life for the better. Some touches are like a ripple in the water; blending and mixing to create a beautiful harmony. Others are like a splash. They transform people's lives with grace, mercy, and forgiveness; they bring people closer. When one thinks of a mission trip, what is the general assumed illustration? A

A Christian Missionary is a person who is called by God to preach his word. Their job is to spread to everyone. Mr. Brown is a more effective Christian Missionary than Reverend Smith. Mr. Brown is willing to make an effort to understand Igbo’s beliefs. He didn’t try to tell them what they believed in was wrong. Mr. Brown made the people of Umuofia have a feeling of growth again. He told them that “everything was possible.” (Things Fall Apart 178) He didn’t come in trying to tell the people of Umuofia

Tim Stewart, creator of the Dictionary of Christianese website, in his article “Missionary Kid (MK)” (2013), argues that missionary kids can either be little devils or precious angles, but either way they have a unique and diverse upbringing. He supports this claim by first defining a good MK as someone who practices what the bible teaches (par. 1), then by declaring the bad stereotype of the MK who falters under the pressure and becomes a rebel or troublemaker (par. 2), finally by showing that MKs

Christian mission in Alaska dates back to around 1794; it might have been a little before this time due to the Russian fur trade, but it was in 1794 when the first Russian Orthodox missionaries came. The spread of Christianity in Alaska continued to spread over the years. Alaska Mission for Christ is an organization that leads many mission teams in different villages of Alaska today. Before Christianity came to Alaska, Shamanism was a huge part of the Native Alaskan culture. This paper will discuss

I discovered my servant’s heart through mission trips with my youth group. These mission trips were one of the major factors that inspired me to become a medical missionary. I had the opportunity to work with underprivileged individuals in rural areas and I got to witness the decreased access to basic needs such as health care, food, and proper living conditions. I have always had access to these and I believe they are essential to sustain life. It never really occurred to me that so many people

The three cultures that are involved in cross-cultural communication are the Missionary’s Culture Context, the Bible Culture Context, and the Respondent’s Culture Context. The Missionary’s culture is a missionaries understanding and interpretation of the Bible according to their upbringing in the gospel, and their traditions. For example, I grew up in the Methodist Church, and singing hymns is a part of our worship and culture. Some modernize Churches do not necessary care for hymns, because it

Social groups describe who we are as individuals. Every person is involved in multiple social groups whether they realize it or not.
