Then I cam back to start for my south Africa trip and something horrific happened to me at the hands of an intern. I was put on a plane and sent home. He was arrested and extradited back to Texas from his inner city mission. I to this day struggle because of what happened to me at the hands of what was supposed to be a Christian safe place.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8422182193534503223.post-41938985574899856212023-06-21T22:20:30.373-04:002023-06-21T22:20:30.373-04:00I was on this trip…so sad for your experience.

I can agree it was a very very bad experience. One of the leaders was threatening me and making me cry to the point I just wanted to go home. It really put a damper on me that someone that was suppose to be a Christian and an example to me as a child could be so mean and ugly. She definitely was not a light for God. So don’t feel bad you are not the only one who had a bad experience with them!

I was so...I happen to be a missions alumni 4 trips. I was so on fire, after getting saved at ATF( Aquire the Fire), that in just two months(3hrs a day), God blessed me with$2100 for my trip. The lives in South Africa that I was able to share Jesus' love with hungry hearted people, see GodsG hands and feet work, doing as we were called. Mission trips aren't vacations...instead they are dirt, sweat, love, pb&j sandwiches, outhouse bathrooms, foreign foods...The Lord! But with all those comes a real battle..the spiritual battle...where the enemy tries to stop the work God set out for you to do...and from what you have written...the devil snuck into that trip...I'm sorry to hear that. I also remember crazy freak things happening on my first and maybe second trip to south Africa 2003&2004. In my later trips in 2011 alaska and Baja trips, I also felt some dissatisfaction as it seemed every trip I applied for a leadership position and my rep booked something wrong, I missed training and had other people telling me what to do...I had bitterness in my heart, and not one chance to share my testimony;although it had changed since the first years of telling it(because I had backslid, as well as made decisions that are sinful.) Overall.. I know I was a part of God's work at some point...that felt good. I am a teen mania honor academy drop out. .and that's when the devil made a spot in that empty place deep within me. However, with prayer, forgiveness, and humility...I think we can regain the strength to celebrate, for we already know how the Good Book ends,Amen.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14712659772792521097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8422182193534503223.post-10923401956966695832016-10-12T15:37:29.223-04:002016-10-12T15:37:29.223-04:00Really?

It was horrible and made me lose what little faith I had in Christianity.

I have done several missions with GE and as a kid these were the times of my life. I think you had a negative experience because of your attitude more than anything.
