Comment on Applying to medical school and starting to volunteer? by Emily

Some students don’t have any volunteer hours, and they make up for it in other ways (research, leadership experience, etc). As long as you have a good idea of what it means to be a doctor, volunteer hours don’t actually prepare you for anything in Med School or Residency, anyway.

Med Schools don’t track volunteer hours of applicants, or publish that information.

You're dating a now-unemployed loser who can't find a girl his own age. Stay away from him for your own good.

No, but your own neighborhood and community can be your mission field (until God opens other doors for you). Go door knocking (maybe find a Christian friend to go along) and hand out tracks and share the Gospel!

You should use spell check and finish English 1. That's what you should do.

The areas i could suggest, would not be suitable for one so young, and you would be ill advised to go waving the Bible while helping people! These people already believe in God. They might accept heartdelt help from one who wants to help, but not from one who offers help at a price! Step carefully, i know three who did not return from such trips. Two were hacked to death in Africa in the 70's with many others, one was shot in Afghanistan!

Comment on What to wear on my youth group missions trip? by tom4bucs

tom4bucs — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 08:37:59 +0000

just your presence will be worth a million to those people

so – jeans – NEVER out of style -

good pair of shoes – like last years sports shoe that you won’t
mind getting stuff spilled on

any old sacrificial tee shirts – that you won’t mind throwing out
before you pack to come home

but also take 1 or 2 nice sets of clothes – for when
you may go to special places – -

all the best – have a BLAST!

Foreign travel is expensive, but your local church may be able to help. You could also do fundraisers.
It’s difficult to go free/lowcost anywhere, that’s just how it is. But in the meantime you can help in your own city, like food banks, habitat for humanity, etc. and trust God to provide in the other opportunities.
