Mission Trip To New Orleans
I was on my way to church with a few of my best friends, a typical Wednesday for me, at least, that’s what I thought. As I was laughing at a joke someone had made, my youth minister called. He asked if I would like to go on a mission trip to New Orleans this summer. Just like any other teenager, I jumped at the chance to go somewhere new, especially New Orleans. Therefore, I told my youth minister that I would love to go and to let me know the dates so I could take a week or so off work. I was so excited to go to New Orleans, but little did I know, I would have one of the greatest spiritual experiences of my life. “Mom, we have to go now! They’re probably waiting on us!” I shouted across the house as I grabbed my duffel bag from the counter and walked out the door. My mother looked at me and shook her head as she made her way outside. Since I was waiting to get into the car, I double-checked to make sure I had everything. As I waited impatiently, I realized that there was one thing that I forgot. I threw my bag onto the hood of the car and ran back into my room, sighing in relief as I found my customized Bible. I rushed back to the car, almost tripping over my own two feet, and then we were on our way. After what seemed a very long drive, but was really only ten-minutes, we finally made it to the church. I hastily made my way out of …show more content…
I was someone who stayed inside, was always on their phone, and always wanted to procrastinate on everything. Now, I’m someone who helped 3 people come to know the Lord. I also learned more than I ever thought I would about Christ and what he did for us. If someone were to tell me how close I would end up being to Christ and how much I would have loved this trip for that very reason, I probably would have laughed in their face. Like I mentioned above, little did I know that this trip to New Orleans would end up being one of the greatest experiences of my Christian

    A Narrative Essay On A Mission Trip

    When I was in the eighth grade I went on a weeklong mission trip with my youth group to Houston, Texas. This trip was a turning point in my life spiritually and mentally, completely changing my thought process of inner city missions at the time. There is a ministry there called CSM that invites youth groups to come and they will take the group to certain places in the city where they can serve and get a feel for the need there and many places. This trip was very impacting for me and I am still looking back on it and realizing the benefits.…

    Servant Evangelism

    I’m always honored to do a flyer for ministries that have the goal of reaching those that are lost. I tend to put more time and effort into them than my other projects, because of my love for Jesus Christ. I decided I would start to attend these community sessions on Monday it was only for an hour from 6:30pm to 7:30pm. In the first session I was asked to pray for those that came and I did. This group reminded me of how I was when I came to Christ I wouldn’t let anything stop me from getting feed spiritually. Some of them were teenagers, others singles, some families, it was beautiful to see them desire more of God in their lives; hear the questions and then fellowship with them once the word was given, prayer ended.…

    Spiritual Autobiography

    One of the most important moments in my spiritual life was when I was prophesied to about the calling on my life and when I received my gifts of the spirit. I was in church on September 10, 1999 and my pastor at the time was praying for people to receive healing, blessings, confirmations of Something God had spoken to them and to be released from unclean spirits through the laying on of hands and the movement of the Holy Spirit. The church was a small mobile home unit in a rundown part of Panama City, Florida which seated maybe 40 people. It had cheap, white paneling on the walls and bluish-grey hard knit carpet on the floor. My pastor was dressed in a grey three-piece suit standing in front of the church facing the congregation and the co-pastor dressed in a two-piece tan suit was standing to his right ready to catch anyone who was overcome by the Holy Spirit.…

    Examples Of Stereotyping

    I woke up feeling physically, mentally exhausted from the day before, packaging meat and cleaning crates for Second Harvest Food Pantry. We sorted and pack meat. I did not think I could look at meat ever again. We then had to cleaned crates, after crates of what use to have food in them. It was a new day, and we had to return back to work. My mission group and I were going to River Food Pantry. I had no clue what to expect. I finally learned we would be serving homeless people. The only thought that crossed my mind was I would be serving dirty, lonely people, but I later found out that I was wrong.…

    It was a chilly day on March 6, 2007. Me and my family were on 495 going to the Holy Cross Hospital with a slight delay of traffic. For some reason, I kept fiddling with my fingers, I was really nervous to see him. We took the exit 31A and we all shifted to the left since it was a sharp turn to the right. My big sister, Maisie, was on my shoulder and we shifted her head fell on my lap. She woke up and asked where we were. “We are almost there Maisie” my Dad said. We stopped at the traffic light and I fiddled with my fingers some more. “Stop fiddling with your fingers!” Maisie whispered to me.

    My Visit To New Orleans

    When I started to look for colleges during high school, I took an unconventional approach towards finding the university that I wanted to attend. My first visit to New Orleans was by accident after my parents canceled our summer trip to Santa Fe because they did not think the food there was good enough. They asked if New Orleans was a better alternative and I jumped at the idea of being in a city that supposedly is rich in ghost . After my first trip, I fell in love with the people, atmosphere, and most importantly the city. The next three years, my family and I came to New Orleans any chance we had, during spring break, winter vacation, and the summer. New Orleans became a place where my imagination was replenished after spending my whole life in Houston.The way I connected to New Orleans was through the distinct architecture and historical presence that I felt through my everyday experiences in the city.…

    Personal Narrative: My Trip To Vietnam

    First off, trip to Vietnam was truly a blessing. I did not expect so much of the trip until the first day I arrived Vietnam. On my first day, I got an opportunity to meet many great people who were selfless; those who cared more about others rather than themselves. It took approximately 14hours in total to arrive at hotel. Even though the plane ride was only about 5hours, since it was a group trip, it took extra time to ensure everyone is in right place. Despite the exhaustion and drowsiness, no one complained but encouraged others. I was already touched by grace of God before we even began our mission trip. On the second day, I volunteered for the medical service. There were two activities including the medical service, and house painting…

    Personal Narrative: My Mission Trip To Haiti

    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.…

    Appalachian Service Project Analysis

    It was not like they said it would be. Taking a cold shower from a pipe coming out of the basement wall of a seventy-five-year-old school was not fun. They said this would be the best week of my summer. Until I began writing this essay, I had never thought about the impact my experiences on Appalachian Service Project mission trips had contributed to my transition from childhood to adulthood. However, now I realize that not only was I affecting other people’s lives, but the work I was doing was also changing me. That was the best week of my summer, and so have the two following trips been that I have taken.…
