INTERNATIONAL MISSIONS
Be a Witness of Hope Today
International Missions
“You are the light of the world. A city set on a mountain cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and then put it under a bushel basket; it is set on a lampstand, where it gives light to all in the house. Just so, your light must shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your heavenly Father.” Matthew 5:13-16
Mission Youth seeks to bring missionaries to many parts of the world. Often faced with situations of misery or immense social & spiritual problems, these missionaries are called above all to be missionaries of HOPE. They walk in the footsteps of our patron, St. Pope John Paul II who traveled the world to proclaim truth, share God’s love, and witness to the hope of our faith. Mission Youth missionaries believe in the influence of grace and the power of personal encounter and witness to move hearts and change lives.
