Short-Term Missions Opportunities |
|
|
Purpose
As an extension of their on-campus formal training, many upperclass students at Millar are given the opportunity to participate in a short-term missions trip, usually overseas. Experiencing a different culture can be life-changing and helps bring into focus a global perspective of how God is working outside the student's particular context. Our commitment is to partner with evangelical missions who share our vision for training men and women in reaching the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Wow, what an opportunity! To travel for four days with a group of 30 staff, students, and children on a bus for approximately 40 hours (and that's only one way) to share Christ’s love with others... what opportunity could be greater?!
Our Mexico Missions team will be doing just that... climbing onto a bus on April 19, the day after our College graduation to take the trek down to San Carlos, Mexico. Our team consists of College staff, the men's outdoor soccer team, and eight ladies who have also been gifted in athletics, music, and/or drama. We are teaming up with Brenda Koenes who serves with Casa de Esperanza.
Ministry for the team will consist of playing two soccer tournaments with club teams, using half time for sharing God's word, music, life stories, and drama. Outside of soccer we will also be involved with children's ministry, youth ministry, serving in churches, and perhaps a few work projects. Imagine what you could do with an extra 60 hands and feet!
On our trip back to Canada we will be making a few stops in Idaho and Montana to connect with schools, youth groups, and churches to lead gym classes, sports clinics, and serve wherever possible. Sports tour groups have travelled to some of these places on their spring tours and we will be following up with those contacts and potential students.
After many miles on the bus, relationships built, people served, sights seen, and God's faithfulness felt, we will again place foot on familiar ground on May 11 when we make our final stop as a team back at Millar.

Black Forest Academy is a missionary school located in southern Germany in the small town of Kandern. We are taking a team to BFA for five weeks this summer to help out at the school. We will spend the first half of our time in the dorms helping with domestic chores like cooking, cleaning and laundry. We also hope to spend evenings in the dorms helping with homework and getting to know the students. After school is finished for the summer we will assist in work projects around the school and in the dorms. One of our goals is to expose the Millar students to the very important work done for missionaries in boarding schools like Black Forest Academy. Another goal is to be as much help as we can be to the staff as they are often tired at the end of the school year. Please pray that we would be a blessing to both the staff and the students at BFA.
