The Lord's Boot Camp

Before any one goes on a Teen Missions International mission trip, everyone has to go to The Lord's Boot Camp to train for the mission trips.  They do this for two main reasons.  For one thing, we have to be prepared to do the work we are going to do.  Secondly, they don't want us to be shocked into the culture.  We will sleep in tents, take bucket baths, and wash our cloths in buckets.  We will have to go on an obstacle course.  A few of the things on the course is the slough, this 9' wall, and a big tire yard.
   If you would like to see what the boot camp will be like, visit  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3JjpzFbMBc .  Or you can look up The Lord's Boot Camp on Youtube.

  Bangladesh

 Bangladesh is a very populated country.  My missionary friend, who works in Bangladesh, said it is like the whole population of the US crammed into Georgia.  Bangladesh has about 156.6 million people on its 56,977 square miles of land.  A third of the population is below the poverty line.
  Now that I have put a picture in your mind of all the people, here comes what I wanted to talk about.  90.4% of Bangladesh's population is Islamic.  Only about 1% of Bangladesh's population is Christian.  That's about 570 Christians.
   This summer, I am praying that our mission team will leave a big dent in those numbers.  We also must pray for the people who are already Christians and are being persecuted.  Not only should we pray for the Christians, we should pray for everyone, including the persecutors.

   Blog

I am starting a blog on for my mission trip.  I am going to Bangladesh this summer for a teen mission trip via Teen Missions International.  
   Since I've signed up for this trip, God has put so many people in my life.  My missionary friend(I can't tell you any of my missionary friends' names because I would be putting them in danger), who is a missionary in China, knows a missionary that does mission work in Bangladesh(pronounced bong-glah-desh).  My neighbor also knows someone that was a short term missionary in Bangladesh.
   I will blog about devotions, passages, quotes, Bangladesh, and of course the time leading up to my mission trip and about my mission trip
