Mission: Impossible

Patience in Action and Faith is a Virtue of Jesus Christ Growing up in rural Upstate New York, I can remember how quite often my mother and father would repeatedly tell me and my brother that “patience is a virtue”. Granted this counsel, was often repeated during times of impatience and frustration. As a young child, it brings to my remembrance many experiences of sharing toys with my brother, wanting and waiting for the sharp edge of my popsicle to be cut off with scissors, or the endless “Are…

recruitment program. After reading various reviews and what this school stood for, I was sold. The welcoming environment and passion to serve others aligns with my internal values of seeing a brighter tomorrow. As an individual who attended four mission trips to serve in other countries, I have personally seen the potential one person can make in the lives of many. I can imagine a world where countless people embrace the passion and will to serve others unconditionally.…

The Purpose, Plan, and Development of Missions. Why is so much time devoted to missions within the history of the Christian Church? From the days of Philip traveling to Samaria, to Augustin sailing for Britain, to Carey ministering in India the push for evangelism has dominated the Church and rightly so. The Christianity has grown to the largest religious group in the world since those 120 Spirit-filled believers at Pentecost. The driving principle behind this massive growth was not awesome…

Last summer my church and I went on a Mission Trip to Waterloo, Iowa. The Mission Trip took place from July 19, 2015-July 25, 2015. This was my first ever Mission Trip and I was glad that my dad went along to in order to mentor me on what to do and when I was supposed to do it. We went on this Mission Trip to do service work for those in need outside of our normal comfort zone here in Illinois. The residents that we were to help that week were Rita and Dan. Rita was old and had lots of trouble…

given to us before the service event and listened to the instructor as he described the conditions in other countries. He showed us photos of the people we would be helping during the mission, communities that were in desperate need of donations, supplies, and most importantly, food. The Lifeline food packing mission was my first service experience, which was the case for most of the students who participated, and it as also one of the first glimpses we had of just how bad the situations are in…

There is nothing more interesting than a Missionary. The Definition of a Missionary is a person sent on a religious mission, especially one sent to promote Christianity in a foreign country. And no better way to find out about the life of a missionary is to find one and ask what is it like to be a missionary. When I asked if I could give him an interview of what his life and his in his life in ministry, and he said yes. As we started the interview we started off with simplest question ever,…

into existence” (Overview of Missiology). I feel that this is an important part of missions. We should bring people to the existences of Christ. This can be a problem at times because not everyone is able to contact with a different culture. To help us with this problem can be caused by so simple steps that we take. “Must take into account the local context – the time, place, language, culture – where the mission will be done” (Overview of Missiology). If you do not know this information…

who needs a God do not know how to solve their problems. In the "Religion and Cults" (2011), Hayward focuses his attention on the consequences of beliefs. Hayward analysis the term cult, some christian anthropological questions, and the christian mission and cultures. In "Religion and Cults," Hayward (2011) states that in religion and cults, anthropologists do not look at whether it is true of false; instead, they look at the consequences of their beliefs.
