Why Serve a Mission

Why Serving a Mission is the Best, EVER!
or 
You'll Never Have an Experience Like THIS Anywhere Else!

or

Why We Gave it all up to Serve a Mission!





You get to learn about other people and cultures, and love it!

Lichfield Cathedral, just a few miles from us


A very typical cozy cottage in Lichfield

The story is true...

You Learn You Have Skills You Never Thought You Had...

We are the Zoom Meisters!

And You Have Some Adventures

Cadbury World with a Familiar Face

Puzzlewood Bridge

We survived a hike through (barely) Puzzlewood on the warmest day of the year
Some kind of strange indoor kickball game, which involves hitting a person in a chair, on a rainy Preparation Day, which apparently everyone else knows about, except me.
John, checking out a flat to see if it's missionary-habitable.   What you don't see are the giant rat holes in the walls. 
Where's Bernie?

But the BEST PART is- 

You Get to Meet AMAZING People 

and Witness the change and happiness the Gospel of Jesus Christ brings to peoples lives!

BBQ with the Birmingham YA
Our Harborne Missionaries, Sister Walker and Sister Andersen


This is our little ad hoc support group for former Birmingham Zone missionaries who have gone home, but still want to stay close.  We named our zone 'Birmingham Bulls', and have our own logo.   

Promise, we're in here

We LOVE our mission, our Pathway students, all the missionaries - both young and old, the people here in Birmingham, and being able to serve in England. 

AS YOU WITNESS THAT CHANGE, YOUR OWN LIFE WILL BE CHANGED FOREVER!!!!!
