i A Summer of Ministry ince the first two MIS ( members left for their countries, Randal Pat- ton for Colombia and Hannah Stovell for Haiti in 1970, the teams have strengthened in number and have traveled more broadly. For the sum- mer of 1988, 54 members traveled to 13 different countries. Missy Runion, a returning member of the Australia team, remembered why she decided to try out for the MIS team last year. I wanted to increase and strengthen my witness, take a taste of mis- sionary life, use my talent for his glory, and see whether the Lord wanted me in mis- sions.” She said, The peo- ple in Australia, especially the youth, were always watching us. It made me MIS...a life-changing experience, a place to leam the daily strug- gles a missionary faces, a personal chal- lenge... consider the possibilities. more conscious of my ac- tions and reminded me that I was there to witness to these people, not be a star.” Although MIS has been thought of as a glamour va- cation, Jennifer Lenhart re- minds any of those thinking of going on a MIS team that it definitely isn't glamour. “It's a lot of work; you have to re- member your purpose, over- look a lot of the nit-picky things that may drive you cra- zy, and remember that you're part of a team.” Dan Hale, a member of the '88 England lreland Ger- many team joined to truly un- derstand and get a real vision for the missionary life. “I have considered missions, and I know this First hand ex- perience will open my eyes to what being a missionary is all about--it will draw me closer to it. And even if I do not go into mission work, as a lay- man, I will be more eager to support them, knowing their daily needs.” Along with the new '88 Alaska Puppet team, all the teams received prayer and fi- nancial support from family and friends. MIS is one of the most involving ministries at C.C. The Summer Masters Puppets and Writing (not pictured); Crystal Clarke. Grace Young, Team. Shari Leach, Beth DeYoung. Bobby Mile. Toni Isaacson.
