Back in 1989 I was invited to go on a mission trip to Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. I had never been on a mission trip before. At the time the church up there was in the process of putting up a building. I went to drive the bus and work on the building while the rest of the group were camp counselors at a camp that the church puts on. Even though Nova Scotia isnt really backwoods, At the time I thought it was. They would tell me Gilligans Island was prime time and I believed them!
Needless to say that trip changed my life. I continued to go up to work on the church building after the summer till it was done and for years afterward. I made some life long friends there including some that were in my wedding.
The other day I was looking at Facebook and I decided to l see if I could see some of the people I know up there. It was mostly kids that I remember as campers and it was really cool to see them all grown up, with some even married.
I’ve been an advocate of missions for years and I’ve had opportunities to go to other places. I tell people that they should take a trip to a ”third world country” at least once, it will change there lives….
