As I explained in the Favorite page, I
like to do mission work to help others. For the last couple of years the
youth group I am a part of has been going to Mission Arlington in
Arlington, TX to help out with whatever needs to be done. We have done
things from moving people in and out of apartments, moving food,
organizing donations, and working with kids in the community in order to
make a positive impact on their lives. People go to Mission A to make
donations in whatever way they can so that others may benefit from it.
The spirit of helping in the community is so great to experience when we
come from a background where most everything is handed to us without
much work on our part. The people we go to serve have had to work most
of their lives to get where they are today. Our goal is to help them out
with things they may need such as furniture, clothing, food, and
sometimes just plain manpower.
When we go to Mission A, there is a
ministry opportunity called Rainbow
Express. This is a time where we get
the kids in an apartment complex to come out
and play
games,
color paper, and learn about how God
came to the world to die for them and to take away their sins. We do
this in any way possible and try to keep them interested, though
sometimes it is difficult as there are distractions outside. We have so
much fun with this, and enjoy going to serve the people in the community
of Arlington, TX. |
