Oh, and we did regain permission to return to the project for ministry. Young people should do any ministry or act of compassion they can find to do. In the process, they will find those in which they are gifted and to which they are called. Through this, kids found out they had talents and gifts for children s ministry, for speaking, for witnessing, for counseling. Some found their callings as pastors, missionaries and evangelists.
Youth learn about the importance of unity and the body.
Through their missions ministry, our group learned how much they needed one another. They had to plan and work together. They had to be patient, negotiate, forgive, push, get on one another s case and do everything a team must do to accomplish a common goal. They had to serve one another and look out for one another. Gossip, cut-downs and exclusive tendencies really stuck out to kids after our missions experiences.
