Long term missionaries find that short term missions do NOTHING except make the short term missionary feel good about themselves. To really do good work for people you need to form relationships with them, speak the language, and truly understand what people are dealing with. Short term missions are an exercise of vanity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-71196484845358742422014-08-12T14:52:53.714-05:002014-08-12T14:52:53.714-05:00@AnonymousGodly Love is moving in the lives of the...@<a href="#c4353729085856633815" rel="nofollow">Anonymous</a>Godly Love is moving in the lives of these young people.

Why not instead bring cash to buy clothes the local community has made and are selling and double bless? I would not want my picture taken as a child half dressed in front of a metal sheet that is the wall of my house so visitors can remember me and feel great about having come to visit. kmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01791551228094642235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-69780265425381486582014-08-09T09:40:35.338-05:002014-08-09T09:40:35.338-05:00Hi Anonymous at 10:05am on Aug 7,

Sometimes the message is given by men who are members of the church, and other times they have guest speakers share. After the service, the families stay for a potluck lunch. We can say from firsthand experience that it is a wonderful church. :)<br /><br />~Lily and EllieLily and Elliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00941253435533935093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-63264534922953307532014-08-08T20:11:55.237-05:002014-08-08T20:11:55.237-05:00Thank you for posting these wonderful images of th...Thank you for posting these wonderful images of the Duggars and Ben during their mission work in Central America!

Usually the countries visited were non English speaking, but that never seemed to matter (plus there's always a guide) when you deliver a weeks worth of shopping, or bottled water, clothes, toys, being company for an elderly person, or playing with a child(ren) the expression on there faces is more than enough! In regards to spreading the lords message, Spanish bibles are provided to those who want them, and where there invited to gatherings, there's the Spanish message played aloud on cassette, or CD Player (battery powered) if the need be! Missions trips are full of lots of pyhsical and emotional challenges, but are well worth it, and I loved every moment of serving mine!!
