What role does the youth play in the church?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Of all various viewpoints of the teenagers in today's church, one thing cannot be ignored. They are the future of any church. They are the future of the world. The youth plays the role of supporting the adult church members, teaching them (as young learns from old, so old learn from young), and assuming the responsibilities of the church when they are older.

How can i start a christian singing career at a young age?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Be smart have a good voice and don't be shy!

First off, stop looking for fame. Being a gospel singer isn't about reaching fame. Secondly, be honest about your intentions. Thirdly, get some sort of training in the feild of traditional gospel singing (if that's where you are wanting to head). Forth, sing with your heart and soul, its there that the gospel lives within. Fifth, write good songs! Sixth, WORK HARD!!!! Sing where ever you can even if its on the streets. Get your talent noticed! Work as hard as you can to get noticed as a gospel singer. Work backgroud if you have to to get somewhere first. Never give up on your singing! If someone tells you that you can't sing, work ever harder! You have to be your biggest fan to start with. If your not your biggest fan, you can't expect anyone else to be!

Surround yourself with Friends that love you and are honest with you. Because these are your biggest critics.

One of the biggest things that we as gospel singers need to remember is to have Integrity. If you don't know what this is, research it.

And always always remember to trust in God!

Good luck.

Did the native Americans get along with the missionaries at Santa Clara DE as is mission?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The people who ran the Mission at San Diego viewed anyone who they baptized as owing labor to the of mission, King and God. The Native people had to work every day, men and women had to live separately and could not marry without permission and they were not paid. The profits went to running the mission and the Church. Women were raped and food was stolen from natives. The leaders of the mission viewed this as normal and any attempt to refuse or run away as treason and denial of God and his order. Punishments were severe. Deaths were high. There were repeated revolts. The most famous was in November 1775.

Most people today would feel that being forced to work for no pay, being told how to live and where and to be whipped or killed if you didn't would be called slavery. Is was not called that by the Spanish but it fits most definitions.

The Friars believed that it was the Devil who was making the Native people not want to live and work there. The Father Palou wrote:

"The enemy, [Satan] envious and resentful, no doubt because the heathen in that territory were being taken away from him, and because the missionaries, with their fervent zeal and apostolic labors, were steadily lessening his following, and little by little banishing heathenism from the neighborhood of the port of San Diego, found a means to put a stop to these spiritual conquests."

We can't know for certain, but it seems likely from their actions (repeated revolts) that most of the Natives resented and were angry at their treatment by the Friars. In the revolt of 1775 they burnt most of the buildings and religious artifacts and killed the Father running it. Most would call that not getting along at all.

What is the missionary sexual position?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Missionary style is considered to be the man on top position with the woman underneath (woman in submission). This is the position people normally start out with and assume naturally. Every other sexual position is derived from this position.One person lies on top of the other while other person's penis is in the vagina or buttocks of the other person.
Face to face, man on top.

What were three challenges the missionaries faced?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

1. Cultural Challenges. Whenever a person immerses himself in a new cultural environment there is stress. Often the problem is greater and described as culture shock. Most people adapt to the new culture and even appreciate many of its aspects. But some have greater trouble than others. It is even more difficult if the missionary believes that his home culture is superior to other cultures (ethnocentrism).

2. Separation. Living in a different part of the world separates a missionary from his family, friends, church family, and places of emotional attachment. Ideally, one develops new relationships in the mission field. But that does not fully compensate for the losses.

3. Opposition. Many cultures are not open to the message of the missionaries. In some cases the culture is closed to new ideas. In some other cases there are individuals, groups, or even governments that actively seek to oppose or even punish those who are seeking to be a catalyst for change.

The Bible commands all Christians to go out into all the world and proclaim the gospel. Some do this by proclaiming the gospel in their own towns. Some do this by going into other parts of the world to proclaim the gospel. Both are great.
