I have always loved helping others. Growing up in a church that was very involved with helping the community, I had many opportunities for mission work. One Friday a month various families in the church would put together a hot meal for those who were homeless. After the meal was made, we would deliver it to the local worker house and then serve it to whoever came in. Seeing not only adults but also children who were my age come in to eat really opened my eyes. I couldn't even imagine being a child and having to wonder if I was going to be able to eat on a day to day basis.
You don't have to be involved with a church to participate in mission work. During Christmas time my elementary school would put out a list of items that they were collecting for local anonymous families who had children at the school. They would put a huge box in the office that we could drop off the items we got for them. Knowing that some of our classmates were in need of such essential items like towels, blankets and socks really made the school come together and collect more that anyone could have imagined.
Throughout this blog i will be talking about my experiences with mission work, other peoples experiences, and mission organizations that you can get involved in.
Right now there is someone close to you that is in need of you help so i will leave you with this question?
*What can you do for others?
