| missions >> short term |
The past few years we have sent out teams to different countries including Mexico, Guatemala and Belize. Members of our congregation have also been members of mission teams from other churches assisting with projects in Kenya, Honduras, etc. The ministry in these countries has varied depending on the local needs. It has included: running a vacation Bible Camp for local children, renovating orphanages, building school facilities, constructing homes for families in need, distributing food to sponsored families, delivering medicines to local clinics, preaching, prayer ministry, etc. The mission trips have been an opportunity for us to share with some of the poorest people in the world. It has also been a time when the Lord has worked in our hearts to teach us compassion, caring, service and to challenge our priorities. It has been a delight to worship with local Christians and to learn from them. These trips have been times of spiritual and personal growth!
Short-term mission opportunities are currently being finalized and will be posted in the late fall. Don’t forget to come back and see what exciting things are planned for the 2005 year.
Short term mission teams are regularly going out from St. Paul's.
If you have any questions please ask around after a service and you are sure to find someone who has been on a trip.
