Joel and Melissa Johnson

  What others have said of our ministry

and of what we are doing on our discipleship Short Term Missions Trips:

"I just recently went on a mission trip to Brazil with Joel Johnson/Wordless Ministries. I cannot put in to words how valuable this ministry is to the people of Brazil. The lives that Joel and Melissa have touched, the relationships they have formed, and souls they have led to the Lord using the Wordless bracelets/soccerballs is countless! The Wordless bracelets and soccerball are such quick, easy, effective tools for sharing the gospel. I am so thankful to have gotten the chance to use these tools in Brazil because I feel like I am so much more prepared to share the gospel now. The money any church gives to support Wordless Ministries and/or Joel and Melissa Johnson, is having a tremendous impact not only on lives in Brazil, but in the lives of people ,like me, who were fortunate enough to go on a short-term mission trip. I would definitely recommend a short term mission trip to fellow believers.

I would like to express how important I think short-term mission trips are. First of all, you need to gain an appreciation of another culture, how they live, etc. because we take so much for granted. Also, the prayers you have prayed and the money you have given to missions all these years, you now have faces and stories that just awaken your heart when you think about what all is going on in other countries and how you have had a tiny part in changing lives from hundreds of miles away!! Plus, worshipping God together with people you have never met before and you don't even speak the same language, yet you just feel the power of the Holy Spirit moving....that is indescribable and makes God seem like he is literally in your midst!!!

Furthermore, I have an appreciation for missions that I never had before! I see how much time, effort, and sacrifice it takes for each and every missionary and how important it is for us to financially support and pray for the ministries of our missionaries!! You will never again think twice about giving your money to such a worthy, life changing cause!!!!"
