Benefits Of Missions Trip

In tenth grade, I went on a missions trip with my church to Mink Lake, which is a camp by the Gunflint Trail in northern Minnesota. During the missions trip, we prepared a camp for the summer. Some of my personal jobs were to help clean out two sheds and reorganize them, haul logs, and trim trees all over the camp. The trip benefitted myself and the other people on the missions trip because we were able to help people have a fun experience at camp over the summer, and we also helped the people running the camp to not have to work so hard to prepare the camp for the summer campers. Another reason it was a good experience for all of us workers is because we did not have our cell phones, so we were able to form new relationships with each other since we were not constantly distracted by our
phones.
We also found out what it was like to work hard, the afternoon we arrived, we worked about three to four hours, then the next day we put in about ten hours of work, and the next morning before we left the camp we worked another hour
or two. The missions trip was a lot of work, however, we were able to make it fun and form new relationships.
