My Experience in the Mission Trip Essays - Myanmar, World

My Experience in the Mission Trip When I first heard about the mission trip, I was so excited. As I was thinking about it at home, I related it to my ambition to be Paediatrician. I love working with children and I believe this could help me in my relationship with children. After much thought, I chose to join the mission trip to Myanmar. I took part in this mission trip because I had a feeling that the children in Myanmar needed help and most importantly they needed to know the gospel. I have learned something new but important instead of saying the children are disable we should use the term "differently able." On the first day, w e went to 3 different blind centres: Yangon Education Centre for the Blind to minister to the blind students. The blind students are mainly children and youth. Here, we help the children to prepare sandwiches for lunch. Aye Myittra Centre to minister to the children and a hand full of youth that differently able. Is a day care and a preschool for children. What amazes me is that both the centre were started by people who are blind. Even though, they were not in a perfect condition they did not give up and answered God's call to reach out to these differently able children. The last centre is specially for youth that were blind. They were taught to make mat and duster so that they can support the centre. With the help and training taught to the children and youth at least can experience hope for a better future. On the 3 rd day, we went on a ferry ride to Dallah . It was a fun experience, we got to travelled to a small town by trishaw. We went to three different Community Centre in Dallah . Pastor Thomas brought us to two other centres by truck. In all the places that we ministered , we s a ng our theme song " Emanualla " in Myanmar Language. We will also share our Gospel story and end with salvation prayer. We will also give out some gifts to the children like stationaries, lollipop and buns. And the children and youth would be so happy and excited to receive the gifts. We also got to visit the famous Bogyoke Market where you can buy some nice local souvenirs. We got our Myanmar traditional costume to wear for the Sunday service that we attended. On Sunday we went for service, Madam Sarah introduced the whole team some parents shared their powerful testimonies and we presented the Myanmar Song " Emanualla ." After my mother preach, we pray for the congregation and many wanted to be prayed for. So the whole team went around praying for people. It was a wonderful experience seeing even the children wanted to be prayed for too. In the evening Madam Sarah shared in Tamil and the people were blessed and encourage by it. The condition of the centre are quite rundown and they need lots of help to make the centre better for the children. The people in charge also need money to support themselves and the centre. We donated some money, fans, chairs and lyonium mat to the centre. I've learned many valuable lesson s throughout the mission trip. I've learnt that we should be thankful with whatever we have and help people who are less fortunate.
