World Missions
Mission Statement: World Missions wants to provide PUC students
with an opportunity to follow Christ’s Great Commission to “go
into the entire world” and fill the various needs that exist
in foreign countries and here in the United States.
Vision: World Mission’s vision is to see hundreds of PUC
students on fire for service and excited about volunteering a year
or more of their time to the Lord’s service. The needs that
exist in the world today, in far away countries and here in the
US, are enormous and daunting. With God’s help, however,
He can turn these challenges into lifelong blessings.
Everyone who returns from being a Student Missionary is forever
changed. How can they not be when they have allowed God to use
them for a year? My hope is that more and more PUC students will
experience the tremendous power and exhilaration that can only
be achieved by giving one’s life completely into His keeping.
World Missions offers a variety of opportunities for you, if you
wish to let the Lord take charge in your life. Through mission
work you can step out of your collegiate life for a year and become
a teacher, pastor, nurse, dean, chaplain, maintenance worker, tutor,
medical assistant, orphanage worker, or many other exciting things.
Positions and needs exist around the world and more often than
not, they go unfulfilled. You don’t realize what a difference
a year of your time can make; whether it’s in the life of
a child in Micronesia, an orphan in El Salvador or filling a need
in another part of the world, until you go and experience it.
What if your light is the only one they will ever see?
What if you never go and fill that need?
World Missions needs people - the world desperately needs
people, who are ready to serve, are open to change and feel called
to His service.
Extra: While the main call of World Missions
is to go out into the world, you can be a part of it without ever
leaving PUC. Every other week PUC sends out packages to our in-field
Student Missionaries. We need help packaging and addressing these
encouraging gifts. Also we need people who are willing to “spread the word” by
advertising World Missions here on campus. World Missions supports
two Vespers a year, a World Missions Week and various other fundraising
events - helping hands are always appreciated. If you are interested
at all, join us for a pre-vespers to learn more about World Missions,
we have them every other month! Find out how you can fill
a need. |
