Hey, I just reently got back from a missions trip to Ecuador last week. It was an amazing experience with an awesome team of people my age. It was probobly the best summer of my life.

We built a second story on top of a building, we repaired a cow fence, re-enforced a wall with mortor, and built a retaining wall. We also did some evangelism at the locals parks and churchs, singing songs and speaking to them the messsage of salvation.
I was there for about 5 weeks and before that we spent 3 weeks in Florida doing training and getting prepared to go on the feild.
so i was gone for 2 months total.

The organization I did it with is called Teen Missions. They send kids from 10-19 all over the world to make a difference and preach the Gospel and set an example of the believers.

I would highly recommend going on one of these mission trips with this organization if your thinking about the mission feild, or if God is leading you there.
It was probobly the best summer of my life and it was a life changing experience.

Here is there website http://www.teenmissions.org/

And if you wanna add me on facebook and see pictures of my trip and my team you can as well, just message me and ill tell you my facebook name.

It's good you dedicate your time and effort to such a cause.

It was more than a pleasure.

Bump

im sure u had a great time. good too see people like u spreading the word.

Haha I did alot of praying and this is what God wanted me to do.

I'm just hoping some people on this forum will see this and maybe go on one themselves or someone that has alrdy been on a missions trip can tell me about their experience.

Hey, thats awesome man, I went on a mission trip when I was 15 with my baseball youth group, we went to Mexico and built a house for a family, it was so awesome. Especially seeing there faces/etc after we built the house. Awesome trip though man, I would post pics of it here, but I think I should not

God bless

awh yeah, nice. We built a second story on top of a building, rebuilt a cow fence, and built a retaining wall. Basically just did a whole lot of improvements at the base there. And we did some local evangelism at parks and churches.

Good seeing some other people here are doing trips as well

Glad to hear you had a good time. It's a good feeling to give but I would rather help my own people in my own country.

nothing wrong with that. But most thrid world coutries are in alot more need than anyone in the US lol
