This past summer I had the incredible opportunity to go on a mission trip in Ecuador where I worked in an orphanage partaking in labor work‚ as well as‚ traveled out into the cities bordering Quito to organize VBSs (vacation bible schools)in startup churches . In beginning of the trip I expected the work I would participate in would be life changing to those in its wake. My expectations were highly set and the outcome did not match up; in fact‚ the outcome was quite the opposite. In the short week

It is hard to believe the number of people who asked me‚ “Why the heck would you want to go on a mission trip to your own backyard”. I’m sure for most people‚ spending a week and a half of summer in downtown Akron‚ Ohio does not seem fun. I‚ however‚ thought otherwise. During my time in Akron I worked for a ministry called Urban Vision‚ which provides afterschool programs for children in need. Too often we overlook the diversity in own community. At Urban Vision I was able to see a previously undiscovered

My dad had been praying about our family going on a missions trip. You will never guess what happened at our missions conference at our church on October 2011. The missionaries from Nicaragua invited our family to come visit them for a week. I didn’t want to leave the United States. I was sad to think about traveling that far away and leaving behind my family and friends. We started praying about going and in February of 2012 we boarded the plane at Gerald R Ford International Airport and headed

the whole summer was finally here. My dad was making me go on a week long mission trip with my youth group at my church to North Carolina. I didn’t have a problem with going to church‚ but I did not want to go on this trip.

Not only that‚ but this trip made me feel disconnected to everyone back home for an entire week. Because

I was sixteen and had just joined a new church youth group. It was my first summer with the group and I was invited to go along with them on a mission trip to an Indian reservation in Bridger‚ South Dakota. I’d been told many things about the people of Bridger. They had very little in comparison to me but yet they were some of the happiest‚ most humble people I would have the pleasure of meeting. I was told that seeing what they had and what they made of it would change my perspective on life itself

The Mission of the Church is Mission However we look at the purpose of the Church in the world today we cannot avoid the fundamental truths that God created us to firstly have communion with Him; then to fellowship with others who have also come to believe in the saving work of Christ; and also to witness to the lost who live in our midst. These three things I believe are inseparable and I want to focus on the last point after making some brief comments about the first two. God did not leave
