Memorial Day (noun)

a day on which those who died in active military service are remembered, traditionally observed on May 30 but now officially observed on the last Monday in May.

When we think of Memorial Day we normally think about cookouts and grilling or hanging out with friends and family, and we forget the meaning behind what it truly is.

Sometimes we do the same thing with God and the things he has for us and the things he did for us. He died fighting for us and for our sins just like the soldiers we remember today that gave up their lives fighting for us to have the freedoms we have.

These soldiers, gave up their lives because of a love they had for their country and for their friends and family that they fought to protect. The bible talks about this is John when it talks about the greatest form of love.

John 15:13 (KJV)

13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

Just like the soldiers that we remember today, Jesus also laid down his life for the people he loved. He died for the sins of the whole world so that we could live a free life.

ABOUT THE BLOG AND THE BLOGGER

Missions Minded is an Idea I had to connect young people that are interested in Missions or interested in going into the Missions field, whether that is in the form of a short-term Missions trip such as AYC Trips, or a little longer trip such as the Next Steps Program or the AIM program.

This idea came about after I went on an AYC trip myself, and made connections with people on the trip that I will carry with me forever. I even met other young people within my own state that I had never met before that also have a passion for Missions. From that trip, this Idea was formed and the Missions Minded Blog was born.

Just in case you were wondering about me, I'll give you the highlights. I am 24 years old, I'm from Arkansas, and I've only been on one missions trip so far, but I am already planning for my next one. I went to Bolivia in June of 2018 with Apostolic Youth Corps, an amazing program run by the UPCI Youth Ministries. I first heard about it at NAYC back in 2013. Then a few years ago a couple in my section went on an AYC trip, and I heard the stories and the testimonies of the great things God did. At the time I was thinking it would be cool to go on a missions trip one day, but little did I know, that day would be only a few years after that. Here I am today, with a calling to Missions and preparing for my second missions trip.

I created a Facebook Group to connect other Missions Minded young people and I would love it if you would join.
