World Changers- Building Relationships for God

A young man in Barbados was riding his bicycle past a crew of students who were doing walking evangelism for World Changers International. Kevin, a student volunteer, called out to the man and asked him if he could see his bicycle. The young man accepted the invitation and stopped to meet the World Changers crew.

The students continued to evangelize neighborhoods and the young man (Akeem) decided to follow…listening to the things that the students shared. When the crew stopped at a park, Katie, a volunteer, was conversing with Akeem and found out that his mother had died. She knew Kevin had also lost his mother, so she asked Akeem if he would like to talk with him. When Akeem heard Kevin explain God's plan for his life, he decided to invite Jesus into his heart and to follow Him! Isn't it wonderful how God used the entire World Changers crew for His glory and for His purpose!

The students highlighted in this story worked under the direction of missionaries Rick and Cindy Jenkins. To read more about how God used them in Barbados, log on to Cindy's blog at http://weblog.xanga.com/cindyajenkins

Learn about International World Changers

International World Changers (IWC) offers youth and youth groups the opportunity for a hands-on mission experience. The International Mission Board, in cooperation with the Southern Baptist Convention, sponsors this ministry.

Recently, six crews from World Changers partnered with Rick and Cindy Jenkins, IMB missionaries in Barbados.

"Truly God did use each of them with all their gifts and talents to make this an amazing week. I don't have exact numbers yet, but I can conservatively say that there are at least 37 new citizens for heaven now. Many of these were school children who loved playing games and soaked up hearing that God loves them and gave His son to die so they could have eternal life," states Cindy.

One seven-year-old asked a World Changer volunteer,

"Why do you have golden hair? Is that because you are here representing God?"

"Oh yes, little one, and they represented Him well this week," Cindy exclaimed.

What was the mission of the World Changers while in Barbados? Besides ministering to children, the St. Philip District Hospital asked the volunteers for assistance with their elderly and children who need 24-hour care because of severe disabilities. World Changers jumped right in and offered their services! They fed patients, changed beds and did whatever was necessary. One day they sang, "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands" inserting every name of the patients and staff into the song. Can you imagine how this gesture touched their hearts? Before they left the hospital, the volunteers gave a Bible to each nurse.

"No one has ever done that for me before," replied one nurse.

World Changers…they are all about
touching hearts, servanthood, a deep commitment to missions and sharing the love of Jesus.
