NSM - First UCC Sugarcreek June 2018
We welcomed the first group to North Street Mission in 2018! They were the youth group from First UCC Church of Sugarcreek. The group worked two mornings in our breakfast program and two afternoons at People to People Ministries.
We at North Street Mission want groups to have a meaningful week and hope that they continue to go on mission trips in the future. Groups are also encouraged to visit us sometime in the future! Part of the process involves getting feedback from the groups. Here is a summary of the feedback from the Sugarcreek UCC group:
I believe NSM can make a difference by....
- Helping and accepting people and inspiring others to help.
- Changing the way people view the communities and not only meeting the needs of the community but helping to stop the uprising problems.
- Giving people at least one meal a day to do what they need to do. For some it may show that these are good people who do care if they get something to eat.
- Continuing to have the breakfast program and helping the people in need.
- Guiding people away from the margins by easing some of their worries.
- Teaching people to be aware of their surroundings and the people around them.
- Giving youth a spark to help people more and make a greater impact on society.
- Serving others that need help with daily tasks and help them with a free breakfast. Also, they make a difference by opening their church for other youth groups to experience different missions.
- Giving others hope that things can get better and there are people who care about them just as much as they do about their own kid.
- Continuing to help so many people and having volunteers to help with work to make the world better.
- Changing volunteers perspective to widen the circle of those who want to do likewise.
- NSM can make a difference by giving those who are not so fortunate a new hope or a chance for a stable life. NSM can also make a difference by giving people like me a new perspective on life. It was truly eye opening for me and it could do the same to other people and cause them to want to make a change and help the people around them. PS - this was a lot of fun and an eye opening experience!
Survey responses.....
- Help others and treat them all as equal. To stay patient and realize that they don't have much.
- Doesn't matter how a person lives or what their story is. We are all the same human and we need to treat everybody the same. Help others that are in need back home and be kind to all.
- To value what we have and to help others. To do more mission trips and to tell others about my experience.
- Society can be messed up at times. Help others more.
- I learned to not judge people and to help others.
- To live differently to help impact those who are not as fortunate as me and others. It was an eye opening experience and it was a great way to start off my mission trips. It was a lot of fun.
