One of the best times we had traveling was once when we did a "working vacation." We spent a week at a home for troubled teens where we worked in the kitchen, cleaned, painted etc.
Maybe some of you know of mission opportunities or ministries that could use support of some sort, including prayer support.
I'll start the ball rolling by mentioning NGJ (of course
) It isn't much, but we try to always include extra money whenever we order materials. We know it will be put to prayerful use.
The school for troubled teens that I mentioned is Anchor Academy in Havre, Montana. They were founded in Texas by the People's Baptist Church and are still a ministry of that church. The staff at Anchor receive only token pay -- something like $100 or $200 per month plus room and board. They are in the middle of the most beautiful piece of nowhere you've ever seen. They are a faith-based ministry. They often have to delay or turn away urgent cases because they lack space, but they never turn anyone away because of financial need.
I know of some retirees and families that spend a portion of each year traveling to ministries where they can donate time, skills, etc. Why not tell us about ministries you are supporting?
