I have supported Save with prayers since returning from
Africa. I saw their work in Guinea and
became involved as much as I could. When
I left Guinea, I donated most of my children books and bookshelves for them to
use in their teaching English program. If I had the opportunity, I would serve
with them.
World
Vision provides poverty relief to those in need and
provides resources leading in ways to fight poverty. They says according to the Census Bureau close
to ten percent of the people of the United States lives below the poverty
level. Their mission is to help
children, families, and communities to come to full potential by overcoming
poverty and injustice.

World Vision has eight
field locations within the United States and four rural ministry
locations. They welcome mission trips to
locations of ministry. They also welcome
supportive adoption of a child as a way of helping that child get an education
and proper food.
Another organization I
greatly appreciate for their working for social change is. Although their primary goal is Bible
Translation, their ministry of literacy, children’s education, Bible Storying
for unreached people groups and providing service of social changes are very Wycliffe Bible Translators important to
the people they serve. They work in 93
countries on six different continents to translate the Bible, provide health
and humanitarian materials.

What skills and
experience you would need to competently fulfill each of these roles
I have experience of
living in a country that is poverty stricken, I have teaching experience with
missionary children, I am knowledgeable of the working of missions and what is
expected to live within a mission community.
I have traveled almost around the world, from Africa across the US to
Australia, seeing many different cultures, poverty at its highest, and
missionaries at their worst. I am aware
that mission work is difficult and taxing but the rewards are great. I also know the health costs of working in a
Third World country, I came home with malaria, dehydration and a number of
other health issues. Some of those
issues will stay with me and some are gone.
I would work for any
one of these organizations, if given the chance. I have had many discussions with the Lord and
I know it would be on short-term trips.
