Do You Know About Mission Work And How It Can Help Your Life?
Do You Know About Mission Work And How It Can Help Your Life?It's a sad reality that every now and then, you meet someone from whom you want to learn something. Sometimes, it can be as simple as asking how they're doing. At other times, it can be something more complicated, such as wanting to learn a bit more about their family or past experiences.In my own experience, I met a student at an open house who had completed mission work for his local church and was planning on starting college. What I learned from him is a common one, even though it's quite unique. You see, a lot of people are curious about a lot of things but when it comes to missions, most just don't ask.So, let's talk about mission work and what it means. When I was studying for my mission field school in Ecuador, I met an eighteen-year-old boy who said that he was going to serve a mission for God. He said that he planned to serve for four years and he wanted to start in one of the impoverished communities of Ecuador.A fter he told me about his plans, I thought to myself, this is interesting because I haven't really heard that type of talk from anyone else before. Even though it seemed so unique, I couldn't really understand why he wanted to give his life for others.I found out that he wasn't the only person who wanted to do US mission work. Every missionary I knew, including those who weren't missionaries, wanted to help people in their own communities. As it turns out, there are a lot of people like this out there.When I asked him if he knew of anyone else who wanted to do US mission work, he quickly replied, 'no, I don't know of anyone.' That was really surprising to me. After I talked to other missionaries about his answer, it became clear that not only did he want to do US mission work, but he wanted to do it as a missionary.So, in conclusion, when you meet someone who wants to learn more about mission work, make sure that you ask about US mission work. Not only will you find a lot of informa tion, but you'll also get a lot of great stories and perspective that could help you make a decision.
