Had a missionary couple speak in church yesterday. They are based in Mt hope Indonesia. Im sure the lady said something and used the word impact. Lol.
What they do..help with school there so poor and orphaned indonesian children can have an education. they get told the gospel for the first time, are loved, and learn, and then tell their families who are 'impacted'. This all in a muslim country.
The husband said he was starting a guitar ministry. So aside from school,and book learning they get to have fun as well playing music. The school is ostensibly a christian school with prayer and worship a big part of life. I kinda wish I went to a christian school, esp in my high school years.
If went there to help and God called me I would have to learn indonesian and also adjust to their way if life which can be primitive as they so very poor. I think the need is for medical missionaries so if you have nursing experience etc that is valuable over there. (I dont...just have library experience, d'oh!) but I think the biggest impact anyone can make is simply showing Gods love.
