    Full Time Missionary

    The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

    - 2 years 1 month

    I joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints just before my 20th birthday. 15 months later, I chose to be a full time Missionary for the church, serving the people of New Zealand. It was a great blessing in my life.

    I served with 12 different men over a 24 month period. We would knock on people's doors to share with them the message of Jesus Christ. I learnt many skills as a full time missionary such as budgeting, perseverance, communication and interaction skills, goal…

    I joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints just before my 20th birthday. 15 months later, I chose to be a full time Missionary for the church, serving the people of New Zealand. It was a great blessing in my life.

    I served with 12 different men over a 24 month period. We would knock on people's doors to share with them the message of Jesus Christ. I learnt many skills as a full time missionary such as budgeting, perseverance, communication and interaction skills, goal setting, planning and empathy.

    As a missionary for the church, it was completely voluntary for 24 months. So I depended on my savings and church donations to support me. I could not have a girlfriend or visit family and friends during my time, yet it was amongst the happiest times of my life. Being a missionary helped me to learn valuable skills such as sales and networking, two skills I enjoy the most.

    Youth Leader

    The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

    - Present 31 years 9 months

    I have served as a Youth Leader in the above organization for over 20 years periodically. I help to oversee young men from the ages of 12 to 18 years. I assist them in planning wholesome activities, visiting and serving those less fortunate, planning and implementing future goals for themselves and instruct and give support where needed. I found this to be extremely rewarding. A young man who comes to mind was Sean. He came into my youth group aged 12. He was what you might call socially…

    I have served as a Youth Leader in the above organization for over 20 years periodically. I help to oversee young men from the ages of 12 to 18 years. I assist them in planning wholesome activities, visiting and serving those less fortunate, planning and implementing future goals for themselves and instruct and give support where needed. I found this to be extremely rewarding. A young man who comes to mind was Sean. He came into my youth group aged 12. He was what you might call socially awkward. He was often bullied at school and his self esteem was low. I was able to become close friends with Sean and gain his trust. Over the ensuing months and years, I witnessed Sean grow into a fine young man who is married with 3 children and a fully qualified electrician. It's experiences like theses which helps you realize you are making a difference.

    Fundraiser Volunteer

    Red Cross Youth

    - Present 14 years 10 months

    I became a Red Cross Volunteer because of the support they have provided to millions of people around the world including members of my own family. I helped door knock as part of a national campaign they were running, and continue to participate in this activity to this day.
