Mission Trips

Have you been on one?

At the Second Church of Odyssey you'll find different ways of expressing your beliefs, finding prayer support or being encouraged through regular devotionals.

Last summer I went to Ensenda Mexico with my older bro, younger bro, dad, and a group from my church. we held a vbs and performed skits, sang songs in spansh, shared testimonies that type of thing.
The most awsome thing was when we were worshipping the Lord at the mexican church, I couldnt understand any of the words but I could really feel the Holy Spirits presence.

Total Awesomeness!! (I was the videographer when I went to Mexico)
where are you going? I'm going to Hydurabad India this fall!!
I'm going with a missionary family (they have 4 kids) so I will mostly help out the mom and stuff. I'm staying for at leat 2 months! I sent in all the paperwork for my passport (my first passport \:D/ ) about a month ago, so I should be getting it pretty soon.

Kerala (sp?). The general area. I now have all $5000 worth of video epuipment in. Score! This is going to be one massive undertaking. The church is going to have to buy a .5terrabyte RAID array so that I can store and edit all the footage. That will push me to over 1.25tb, which is rather exciting. Anyway, this is going to be rather an interesting (and hot) project.

wow, it sounds like you got some pretty nice gear, all I have is a sony digital 8 nothing big but it works for me. Hope you have a great time!
maybe theres a way you can put some of the footage on this site.
I was able to put a slideshow I had made of our trip to Mexico on another forum. The screen was awful small though.

Yeah, it is pretty nice. I have the Panasonic AG DVX-100A.

I'll definitely put some of the footage up when I get it edited. I was going to put it up on another board for critique anyway, so there's no reason that I can't provide a link here.

I've never been on any missions trips like what you would think of when you hear the two words, but in a way, my entire life has kinda been a missions trip, since my parents are missionaries to Germany.

I've been on several mission trips (US, England, Scotland, Ireland, Mexico, Philippines). I hope to be involved in missions for the rest of my life!

I guess that's why your username is "Missionary", huh? My parents are missionaries to Germany! :D

A week ago today I arrived home from South America...Northern Brazil to be specific. I have never in all my 26 years seen such poverty. Everyone needs to see it...especially Americans. I am so so so blessed...

The people there have such a heart for God and for each other. I love them! My plans are to go back next year for 4 or 5 weeks.

Yes. That is where I got my username.
That is neat that your parents are missionaries in Germany! I have two friends who just left for Germany as short-term missionaries. Thet are planning to spend a year there.
I will be going back to the Philippines soon.
