These tens of thousands of sites also include thousands of mission agencies. Fortunately the site has it's own search engine so that you can sort through the sites and get at the ones that interest you. At Eternity's edge I read news about trouble spots around the globe, including the brief personal story of nine missionaries who had been rounded up by Turkish police and forced to leave that country. Another story told of a pastor being forced into hiding in Iraq. These kind of compelling stories capture the imagination of our young people and provide ample fodder for classroom discussion.
Surfers can review prayer requests and respond to requests for help of all kinds.
Goshen.net, a popular Christian web site with links to thousands of other Christian sites. Wisestewards is sponsored by an agency that helps churches and individuals arrange for national and international mission trips. The graphics and photographs at this site are well worth the visit. Once there you can click on a number of stories to read that chronicle a missionary family's journey into Uganda. Excellent reading and the idea of leaving behind the comforts of the western world will certainly engender a lot of discussion among your students.
