Short mission trip

1. An example I can associate with is when you see people on the streets begging for money or food and you wonder if they are going to use that money for what they say they will. In fact it is good for having sensible hearts to these things, to be careful but simultaneously not to forget the way in that God watches them. And simultaneously God helps us to be wise in which we are going to do.
   
2. An understanding of what the Bible says about injustice- we must study what the Bible says on the injustice, because this not only helps us to be able to have weighty arguments at the time of defending or requesting justice by something, but it helps us to be patient and to remember of which there are things that we are not going to be able to solve but that at the time God will be in charge to do the correct thing. we of arms are called on to hope to us in God but simultaneously not having left cruzados, but giving the example and helping so that in which we can there is more justice.
3. Take action- we cannot either be without doing nothing. We must try to give the example, to use the abilities that we must to help a world of more justice and if we are in the power to do it, to teach to him to people on the injustice so that they also can make the change.

1- Generally this means that the ignorance on a culture can distract the people of that culture of the message of Christ. In addition the chapter speaks of which always we must think before doing or to say to something then this can do that the people of the culture where we are, do not trust us and think that we are some disrespectful people.

2- One of the most important things is the way in that we are going away to dress. I believe that generally all we got dressed a cautious perhaps way but we can fall in using things that stop we are normal but for them no well it is seen.

We give to have well-taken care of in the way that we treated to the men and women because sometimes previous the Peruvians have liked of the Panamanians and I believe that we must be always careful so that there is not distraction in which we are doing. Dedebemos to try to be careful but not to go us to the end of being contemptuous.

Another one is the respect. Perhaps then for some of us it can be more difficult to acquire confidence with somebody, but they can be a little more confiansudos either others can be the more timid, then we must take into account this for thus to respect the differences of each and to respect that.

3- I believe that most difficult for my it can be the food. Generally all type of food enchants to me which was a little difficult for because I do not like to eat that type of animal, but I believe that he is something that I have just as to accept of respectful way and to eat a little at least not to despise the food.

the past year I was chef and hize very good relations with the cooks and helped to see new things me and to apreder new things.

7 important things for traveling

1. Remember that Jesus reward risk.

2. Remember that there are no guarantees.

3. All of life involves risk, but we don't look for risk either.

4. When you do need to risk, risk on things that are worth it.

5. Manage risk by training yourself to do three things: be alert, be knowledgeable and be wise.

6. When something bad happens -and something bad will happen- be calm and compliant.

7. Don't make the focus of your trip eliminating or managing risk.

I feel strong about 1,2 and 7

Estoy de acuerdo con todos los puntos. El único pedazo con el que no estoy completamente de acuerdo es la parte que dice: -something bad will happen- .I do not believe that necessarily something bad is going to happen but because we go to a foreign country and without some comforts, probably always it is going to have something is going to us to bother or that it is not going to get used to it.

I believe that points 1, 2 and 7 are the points in which I feel like more fort but not necessarily it means that when finds me in some situation can act as fodder that would do it. If I believe that in fact God allows the things by something and that if he is allowing us to go to Peru to fulfill a mission then also is going to us to protect; although that does not mean that it is not going to pass absolutely nothing.

PART 3

From the first time that I went to Peru I thought that it was not a place so surely and in fact when fodder in going to Mancora by the place in himself would not want to go but when memory to the people who live there and the reason for which we go to Mancora, fodder that does not concern the place, God is with us.

I believe that when really you want to do something or you know that to do it he is something that will make you feel well, you remember that to perseverar in reaching that, it is worth the pain.

#8

I believe that the place where we are going to be can be one of the most dangerous things. Perhaps foreign we as do not know how dangerous can be that area but I believe that yes it is an area in whom we must walk with well-taken care Dos & Dont's.

Some of the things that I believe that they can be to me more difficult from both and Don'ts are: - To only wash the teeth to me with water bottles. Perhaps it can be a little uncomfortable although the somthing that could happen.

-Time for journaling- Sometimes I am difficult to me to write my thoughts, likes more to speak them. I do not like much to write but it is certain that this is something that in the future is going to help to me to be able to remember those important moments and those that God speaks life.

-to have toilet to paper. jaja Usually I do not like to walk loading so many things but I create is important to have it by hand.

-sometimes we can have some travel stress.

3rd part

Since I have traveled before to Peru I feel but calm with the fact to take the irrigations. Since in the years happened, whenever we got to have to make those decisions important, and that we needed to take risks. Mancora is not a dangerous place to where there is danger constantly. I do not feel been in danger aya. But something if he can happen that he is that we become ill and that the enemy can take it like advantage. We have a long trip in the bus and is canson well, but we must go with the open mind. Each trip is different and we know that to hope of but it is an adventure. Satan always this around the corner stops there to take the change to make our plans and Gods plans turn all around. But at the end of the day we know that God is in Control of everything we do. I believe that the 7 things mentioned in the article, are an essential key that we can use if in any case we needed it.

#7

I believe that one of the greatest challenges of the Galvez is going to be the difference of cultures and religion. I imagine that for them mudarse to Panama was difficult but not as much because Panama is a country that it shares some things with Colombia because both are Latin countries and are many Colombians in Panama which could make them feel more comfortable, but Guinea it is a totally different country where not only they must learn a new language, but also a new culture.

In addition the fact to not knowing many people can cause that at moments they feel single. And I believe that another difficulty we are to live in a culture that does not believe then in God although we created in him, likes to share with other people exceeds he and this them can be difficult.

2nd part

I believe that it was very certain; obvious Peru is not Africa but it is certain that for example we often spoke more than we listened We feel that we are going to help or to solve a problem, but I liked much when Oscar says that when the people go in short-term missions, that affects them more to them that to the people who live in the place because one cannot make changes in so just a short time and that in fact it seems to me very sensible. It is a super experience and we make friendly and really I am sure that we can be example for them but we do not know which is the true reality of them no matter how hard we spend a whole month there. I believe that we must go with a listening attitude, of which they can feel that what they say is important and that we are not going to change them. Since I have commented previously, that we can go not in the bubble of “our culture” but opened to learn the culture of them. We need an attitude humility and simplicity, I believe that is more important, and mainly to go with a prepared heart to serve to God and them.

part 1

I think the difference of going to Mancora as a servent and going to Mancora to serve is that Many people could go to Mancora to serve, because to serve she is to help, to be at the disposal of another one, but we go not only because we want to help, we go because God commands to us to be servants. I believe that the difference is in obedience to God. In going like crew members of God, obeying to which he calls to us and not only going to help because we want to go. To serve implies to work and to help, we can do that in different situations; but to be crew members is something of complete time. But to be crew members implies serving.

We cannont truly serve those we do not know and love- It is like when you have to a friend and a well-known. If your friend asks to you that you help him with the task, probably you are going it to do and with taste, but your well-known asks to you that you help it with the task, perhaps you do it but no perhaps necessarily with the same taste, or not even you help it. Also when we do not know and we loved anybody is more difficult to serve, simply because we do not know who is and we did not feel the same satisfaction when serving.

part 2

To get closer to God- the question I have is 'Whats going to happen to me know" the future...One of the things that I have felt from the beginning of the preparation for Peru, is that God really called to me to take this passage from Faith. In addition something that I believe that habia forgotten is that when we served to God we must be arranged to sufir.

What i want to learn from this trip:

1-To be able to understand more what is to be crew members of God.

2-To know which is the direction that I must follow after this.

3-To construct more and to better relations with the people of Mancora and my team. 4-To have an attitude of love and humility.

PASTOR GARY

talked about- Aligning to us with the plans of God for century 21.

1. The world has been turned around! 2. The Gospel is the Kingdom of God! 3. The social unit is essential for the credibility! 4. To send the correct people to correct people! 5. You would find pain and suffering

One was which the world has changed and of which for example now missionaries of developed countries rise not only more, etc but missionaries rise misionaries all over the world. Of which we must speak to him to the people of God and announce to them of the kingdom of God of a way in which they also can understand. Of which the unit of the body of Christ allows that people can trust which we spoke or we preached, because many people preach or share the gospel but they are not example than they say. That God commands to different people to share envelope he to those who does not know of him. And that we must know that the fact to follow God and to share its gospel us can bring suffering and pain, thus we must be prepared for this.

I think #3 is really important because not only we are going as people from Panama but also we are going as the body of christ, and we are going to be judge and critizied by our actions. This are the reason why we must have unit and harmony so that people not only see a group, but to God through us.

Part 3

Crossroads is a church were we have a lot of different aspects of religion and ethnic groups. This can be a great advantage for us because there are learned to coexist with different cultures, although simultaneously this it is possible to be returned difficult due to the difference that exist. Something that really put to think much to me of the article went that when we are going to make missions we do not have to teach not to force to others to be like of our culture, but we must be reconciled to the culture of them and that not this so easy because there are certain habits that one has own of the culture. I believe that of it deals with the body of Christ, of which in the middle of our diversity as much in Crossroads as in Peru and the Body of Christ generally we know to respect our differences, we know to listen to the different opinions and to try to coexist in harmony being learned some of the other, working in equipment and remembering that all we are different but all of us are sons of God. 

- I believe that this is something that from the start of we see know. It is not easy to arrive at a country and to work and only to speak to him to the people of God, etc., we must recordae that this is not about us. We must be sensitised of which we do not go of stroll and to ask to him to God that mantenfa focused to us in him. That when we are there we are not only sharing between us, but with all the people of Mancora, learning of its culture and working together like the body of Christ. 

- one of the ideas that i liked the most is were it says " the poor do not need to be integrated into our community. God is calling us, rather, to identify with their." Is something that we forget very easily. This is a reality that has occurred from always but he is something sad because to that it is not what God has called us.

 

CHALLENGES PART 1

1.     I think that serving someone maybe it can be really easy but when it comes to be a servant is were the tough things comes. Be a servant of God means that we have to give everything that we are. It doesn’t matter were God is sending you, if you are in the right path and in his will then everything will go fine. I think that we can serve someone but the difference is with love. We have to have love for that person to serve them well. We need to have love for all of them but love because God loved us first and that’s why we can serve others with love.

2.     On this trip I will like: to learn how to love someone that I barely know. For God to show me that He is there with me all the time and to learn to trust more in him because I know he has the control of everything.

3.     Preparing for this trip I think God is telling me to be the example for those teenager. The example that they don’t have, the example that they need. They need someone of their own age to guide them to the right path and they need that person. I want to help another people and I know how in needy they are. I want to be the person that they see as an example :D

COMMITMENTS PART 1

I have no disagreement with any of these. I think all of them are really necessary and useful on a short-term mission trip

EXPRESING LIFE AT THE MARGIN PART 2

It is amazing how I here you can see a lot of racism, and we need to learn from this because we cant judge someone because of their color. I think we all know about this and we are all good people that don’t judge other because of how they look. Obviously we are going to see different people in Mancora but we need to be calm and really open minded to every situation. We cant make us the center of attention because we are there to serve others and we cant be there just judging because of the clothe or what color they are. We need to be serving other people and accepting them because they were created by the image of God, so by the fact it is beautiful.

COMMITMENTS

I WILL respect the locals and the church I serve by not talking about them in demanding ways.

I WILL probe the incogruity of poverty and joy

I WILL raise awarness of new experiences that contradict previuos observations, interpretations or expectations

I WILL train as hard as i can to develop their christian development

I WILL pray every night about the mission trip

I WILL be open minded with whatever obstacles come and try to make them posibly to conquer

I WILL show the love of jesus christ through me to my brother and sister in Mancora

I WILL be prepared to be on jesus side for the spiritual battle that is going to be happening when we are in Mancora

I WILL pray every night for God to give me straingth to move on every day that I am there and never get unfocused to what he wants for me to be doind over their

I WILL help someone that is in need in watever thing

objectives & outcomes = ME

I desire from the bottom of my heart that God can work in my life and work through me! I want him to take control of my life and do his will over in Peru. I want God to use each one of y gifts to his glory and to his kingdom. I want to grow more in my relationship with God by also I want for him to help me in every step I do and for Him to be there with me when I fall and when I accomplish something for his kingdom. I want to be the example that in Peru they are looking for. I want for the people in Peru to see the love of God through me and to grow more with a relationship with God and to believe that He is alive and of his amazing love and for them to see that they can trust in him and give all their problems to Him and He will listen and help them whenever they ask for a hand. I just want to help the people to know who God really , but I dont want to do it by my own strength. I want God to use me and be through Him that I can speak and talk to those people about God. That God be the one who works in my life.

...

I disagree with the one that says: "We cannot truly serve those we do not know and love." I dont agree with that because because you can serve someone and help someone serving them eventhough you don't full love them or know them. We are going to a mission trip and we need to be open with the people and they are going to come with their open hearts and because we dont know them that dosn't means that we cant serve them. I say that we need to treat them like they treat us and we can serve them fully because they are looking for that, for a frindship and for someone to give them love and to be with them at every moment. Because we dont know them that dosn't mean that we cant be with them showing them love.

I agree with:

1- "Mission is about living in light of our position as image-bearers of God. Its about giving people a living picture of who God is, what He cares about, and how He acts." 

2- "We most no go overseas to do something we aren't already doing in our own country"

3- "Our level of interest in and commitment to connecting with the culture as a whole will directly shape how well we do our work in subtle but profound ways"

I think that these are really good because we go to Peru to serve God and to be his desciples in this world. We need to show the love of God through our actions and how we behave around our christian brothers and sisters of Peru. 

:D

Prayer Request

If you can pray for me to have more time to do my home works and to finish hard at school that I have less than a month to graduate :D.

To have more time for my solo time and to read the Bible, because I get really late to my house and I am really tired so i go to bed. :S

To have less fights or no FIGHTS (will be better) with my mom, we fight for everything :(. SO for our relationship to grow and get better in some how.

THANKS :P

assumptions

I agree with the second one that says: We must not go oversees to do something we aren't already doing in our own neighborhood. I think that is really true and i like the idea. I learned it 2 years ago when the first mission trip was to go to Guatemala and the pastor over there sayed that and I was really impressed because we dont need to go to another country to talk about him and all he can do to the peoples life and how awesome he is and all about his amazing love. We can do that HERE in our own country and most of the people think that they have to go to another country were they have to talk the truth but in our own country we also have people and a lot that need Jesus and his mercy and love. So my vision has changed. First I need to do what i am gonna do there at Peru here in Panama and then I can go to Peru and do what i am doing here in Panama.

:D

Dear michelle.

well I know it is really hard to have some weird thoughts on your mind. I know what you are thinking and that is not good. You need to get your mind set really soon because thinking about going or not going to Peru is not good at all. I think that you want to go but at the same time you dont feel like you should go. So, get your mind set and try to make everything clear to you. I recomed just pray about it and ask God for guidance and knowledge. Ask him were he wants you to be, in Peru or staying here in Panama. I think your kinda tipsy on the desicion because you want to go but you dont feel like it because of satan or i dont know. Remember theres an enemy that dosnt want us to go and do what God wants. So, think about it an tell me what you decided.

love u mua

well i am the kind of person that when you give them an asigment ill make it everything possible to have it done... normally i like to collaborate a lot with people and when i see a problem i wanna fix it. I m lookin foward to go to peru, i went last year and i loved it and God touched me in a lot of ways and i am hoping that this would be the same... I love being in large groups because I can interact more with people that I dont really talk a lot so im really exited but also i can help a lot with somethings that need to be done quickly and well done.

Well I've had ESFP and Leadership.. This is not easy for me to have this results because this are things that people have told me for a long time and I know that that is not on me and i know that i cant be a leader to someone or that someone takes as someone to follow. I know that everyone has bad things in their life but i just dont consider myself someone to follow. I just dont think that someone will follow me so i am safe there. But i likes the part of my personality, that i cheer people up and make them feel good when they dont want to or can't. How I can express my feelings very easily and make people feel what i am feeling and to make them feel better. To change someone humor is awesome and to make friends really quick and not make it weird is awesome. I am looking foward what new relationships i am gonna make in Peru.

I had: LIDERSHIP!!

The leadership implies that there is a person who can influence and motivate to the others. A lot of people had told me that I have the gift of leadership but I never took that seriously because i didnt believe it but i remember one leader of mine named Monzerrat that she once told me that i had the gift of leadership but i had a big responsability because I can bring people towards Jesus or away from Jesus. I know that i have to bring people to Jesus but it is hard for me to be an example when i know i am not one. So it is a big challenge that I have as a student leader and how to be a leader to other people...
