My Mission Trip
A home is a place where people are free to be with their family and have free time. Not everyone is the world has a home to go after work or school. Everyone in the world should have the right to have a home. As I believe, helping others in the world is one of the best purpose in life. In my trip, there will be seven people and me to make a total of eight people. In addition, the trip will be in the summer for about 4 weeks from June 4 to July 1. The three countries for my mission trip were picked because they are not one of the richest countries in the world. Therefore, out of the three previous countries if I had to pick, the country I have chosen to make my mission trip is Mexico.
I noticed that Mexico was the best option out of the other countries for economic, safety, and expenses reason. I noted that in Mexico, the population below poverty line is 52.3(CIA). Therefore, by making or repairing homes, it might help the nation’s economy grow and have less of the

The purpose of my mission trip is providing homes for the people of Puebla, Mexico. After seeing the property line in Mexico I realize not many individuals have a house and I have a strong belief that everyone in the world should have a home. A home is a blessing that the whole world should have; therefore, I have made it my purpose to be able to provide homes for the people of Puebla, Mexico. I will be collaborating with the Habitat for Humanity organization to build homes for people. After doing some research on the organization, I learned that they are an organization that give aid to people to be able to improve and build new house for the individuals that strangle to have a well-built home. However, they do not pay for my trip, as my group and I would only be volunteering, thus, making us pay for our trip there. For this reason, I will need to make a budget for this mission trip at Puebla, Mexico to be

    In my freshman year, I went to Ohio Mission Trip, which was led by Mrs. Lundquist. While I had an amazing life experience through volunteering, I was able to become closer to my friends and upper classmen. Darby and Sydney Lundquist also joined the trip, and they shortly introduced me about Washington and Lee University. I assumed the college should be very advanced since they were well-known for their excellence in intelligence and sports. This year I attended a college meeting with Mr. Webster to get to know more about the college. It was a great opportunity for me to grasp a big picture of the school as well as more specific details of admissions. I immediately fell in love with the school as Mr. Webster explained about the school in detail.…

    This mission trip was impactful spiritually and mentally by changing my viewpoint of inner city missions. We served in tangible ways, providing people with their basic needs. Sometimes it is more effective to come out of your wheelhouse to experience or gain new perspectives. This is exactly what happened to me. I was pushed out of my comfort zone and have been grateful for it ever since. Leaving an impactful impression on me spiritually and mentally, this mission trip has been one of the most beneficial trips I have…

    The cost that goes into building the homes and the labor that goes into the projects produce the benefits of families having access to the basic necessities all humans need to survive such as running water. Considering the agency runs primarily from donations, the cost to complete the houses are quite low and the benefits include millions of families who no longer have to face being homeless.

    Every year, for the past five years, my church youth group has gone on a mission trip to St. Louis. This mission trip was called The St. Louis Project, sponsored by Global Encounter. The St. Louis Project was a week long trip, during which you would go and have a kids camp at either a church, mobile homes, or a park to teach children about God, then come back to the “home” church, where we slept, to have worship services. The first year we went was my seventh grade year, there was a small group that year, only consisting of about 13 maybe 14 people. That year, Global Encounter had told us of an international trip to El Salvador they were planning 4 years from then. My whole youth group was very excited and couldn’t wait to go.…

    This summer, I was blessed with an amazing experience. I had the opportunity to travel to Haiti on a mission trip. Of course, I was slightly nervous about traveling to a third world country, where I did not know the language, and the only people I would know would be the people from the church that I was traveling with. However, I knew this would be a life changing experience, so I took the leap! I am so grateful I did because every second was worth it! Our mission was to work with orphans, help homeschool English speaking children, and meet with the women’s group of Grand Savann Christian Church.…

    For me, home is where my family is, a place with memories and a place where I can be myself and not be afraid people will judge me. At some point in life the meaning of home is established. In “The Round Walls of Home” by Diane Ackerman, Ackerman states, “You know what home is.” Even though some people do not specifically think of what home means to them, the meaning of home is still evident. When I was younger I thought it would be fun to live in my tree house but I realized I would miss my family. At a young age I found out it took more than a physical structure to make a home, even though at the time I was not aware what home meant to…

    As I read the book Strength in What Remains and watched the film God Grew Tired of Us, my heart broke for the people suffering from wars and poverty in other countries around the world. As Deo described the suffering in his village, I was brought back to my mission trip to Haiti, where my eyes were truly opened to the world of poverty for the first time. I went into the trip anticipating it would affect my life, but I had no idea how much I would truly be changed.…

    Entering into the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere opened my eyes to see things in a plethora of ways and has changed my attitude on life. I learned a lot about myself, God, and others as a result from this missions trip and I saw myself grow in many different aspects too. I came to realize in Haiti, how important it is to work well with others, and that I am able to convey this action smoothly. Working with others is such an important skill to have as working with people is a proficiency we will need for the rest of our lives no matter the profession one takes on. Unfortunately, I was also enlightened that being put in an uncomfortable situation, like traveling to a foreign country, can be mentally and physically tough and that I am not one to take charge during those vexatious times. But it was time for me to grow in that area of vulnerability by and stepping out of my comfort zone and therefore…

    In tenth grade, I went on a missions trip with my church to Mink Lake, which is a camp by the Gunflint Trail in northern Minnesota. During the missions trip, we prepared a camp for the summer. Some of my personal jobs were to help clean out two sheds and reorganize them, haul logs, and trim trees all over the camp. The trip benefitted myself and the other people on the missions trip because we were able to help people have a fun experience at camp over the summer, and we also helped the people running the camp to not have to work so hard to prepare the camp for the summer campers. Another reason it was a good experience for all of us workers is because we did not have our cell phones, so we were able to form new relationships with each other since we were not constantly distracted by our…
