Missionaries of Charity

Facing the continuing decline of their population Native Americans called upon neighboring missionaries to aid them. This turning away from traditions was an added challenge to medicine men and traditional culture. Native Americans understood that European medicine came with the expectation of an earnest study of Christianity. Missionaries initially welcomed the desperate natives who were willing to study whichever religion in exchange for medical aid. In Oregon, the Whitman massacre is one…

I am a missionary. After only learning about missionaries from the olden days whose true motives were to colonize and conquer regions, this statement at first seemed inapplicable to my life. However, my feelings toward this statement completely changed after I went on my first mission trip to Nicaragua and met some villagers who will always remain dear to me. As the child of hardworking Indian immigrants, I have lived without fear of the outside world. My dad is a physician who earns a steady…

She believes that everyone should have justice, and that this work she does for them is a very small piece of the impoverished troubles. Esteban, on the other hand, believes that only the strong (those that work…

NGOS/Charities When it comes to NGOS, charities and organizations everything appears really black and white. I feel that media really portrays it as that way. So I decided to put it in color and bring out some facts by providing certain certain incidents that take place in these groups. I feel that it is very important to do research before donating. In your mind you may think this money is going to individuals in need but in reality these groups may be using it for their own benefit. It is…

Mack and Leeann’s Guide to Short-Term Missions was a very interesting book and I learned a lot about short-term missions from it. I liked how they used their personal stories in order to help get the point they were making across and because of this I was able to follow along well and was able to apply my personal experience with short-term missions because I was able to better understand the points they were making. Chapter one of Mack and Leeann’s Guide to Short-Term Missions talks about how…

In the “Toxic Charity” reading, it is said that almost 90 percent of American adults are involved personally or financially with some sort of charity. But why? I think, similar to the “healthy living” trend that is lush in today’s world, it’s become “fashionable” to volunteer and help those in need. I think social media has a…

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,…

crisis is financial, emotional, or physical, people can empathize with pain when they have gone through hurt themselves. For this reason, charities that benefit from people who want to offer their services should be mission driven, understand the duty of care, and create an atmosphere that promote volunteerism.
