Every year, a group of people from the Korean Dangsandong Churchcomes to Sri Lanka for a missionary trip. So basically what they do is to prepare for the divine service, recreation, and some studying session with the children to preach them, and go around the local churches here and do them together with the local children. Traditionally, our Korean church in Sri Lanka has been helping them with it; we gather a group of teenagers to help them with the language and in any ways where they need helps.
From last year, some people from the Japanese churches are coming with them as well.
I've been to this trip the year before, but couldn't make it last year. This year, I was able to join them again and help them. What WE also do, is to perform a short dance which we call it the worship dance where we dance to the Contemporary Christian Music (CCM), or/and perform a short skit where it has an important lesson we want to give the children. My initial goal would be to help the mission team well and the children at the local churches, and also to become more mature Christian. This would be my second and last mission trip in Sri Lanka, I believe, since it's the second time, I want to do better than before and I want to do my best since it's the last one.
I believe this is another step forward to my ultimate goal, which I have set when I started learning bass guitar, to travel around the world with my father and do the missionary works. This is going to be loooooooong time later in my life, in fact, but I believe it's better to start getting warm and ready for it from now on.
This year, our group decided to do two worship dances, not the play since we may need the lighting and music at background IF we do a play, which we can't have at the local churches.
So we just had the first practice today (Wednesday, 14th of July, 2010). About 13 of us volunteered to join this mission trip, and showed up today. Since we are doing the two dances, we divided ourselves into two group to do the practices; one of 7 people and the other of 6. The group that I'm belonging to learned the first 30 seconds long intro part for three hours :S (This briefly suggests how hard it was :S:S:S, or how bad we are :P) It was fun though. I hope we can learn them with no problems and will do well on the trip :D
