SMP Photo of the Day--Puppets!

Some fun scenes from the "SMP Mexico 2007 Players" during an outreach.



Statistics tell us that childhood is the most
essential time to reach people with the
Gospel, yet many missionary endeavors are
geared towards reaching adults. SMP participants have an opportunity to reach out to people of all ages through a variety of activities.



So how about you . . . when did you first learn of Jesus' love?

SMP participants are the "goers", heading out to all corners of the earth, but supported with prayer and finances by many people within the CRCNA. One highlight of the pre-field orientation is the commissioning service, where the SMP participants are celebrated, prayed over, and sent out with the blessing of a local congregation and the larger CRC.

In 2007, the SMP pre-field orientation coincided with the 150th anniversary celebration of the CRCNA, which was a wonderful complement to the commissioning service.

Laura spends time playing with the kids of CRWM missionaries Ben and Amy Meyer, as well as another local child.

SMP participants live and work among CRWM career missionaries, getting a day-to-day view of what missionary life is really like.

SMP Photo of the Day--Karlynn's storm

During pre-field orientation, SMP participants participated in a variety of activities to help them prepare for their time overseas. Here, Karlynn shares a picture she drew of a previous conflict she'd experienced. The participants were encouraged to draw this conflict in "weather language", one creative (and kind of fun!) way to describe feelings in a tense situation.
