Valuing Relationships while on Mission

Rachelle’s Story— Developing a Special Relationship in Africa with Adventures in Missions

Rachelle met RightNow through The Traveling Team in September 2007 as a student at Salt Lake Community College. She was heavily involved in children’s ministry at her church and working at an after-school program in Salt Lake City.

Rachelle really had a desire to spend the summer of 2008 serving kids in Africa. She stayed in contact with her RightNow Coach who put her in touch with Adventures in Missions. She applied and went with Adventures to Jeffrey’s Bay this past summer from June 2^nd to July 2^nd. While there, she worked in VBS throughout the month and loved on the kids in Jeffrey’s Bay.

The Lord developed a special relationship with Precious, one of the teenagers in the village. They met each day and went through scripture, shared a passion to write poetry, and learned so much from each other. On the last day, Precious gave Rachelle a personal poem and a note that read ‘I will really miss you. I never had a friend who loves me so much. I love you too.’

Adventures in Missions emphasize prayer and relationships in their work among the poor.
