Dover Baptist Church (Salem)
Reverend William Kirk and his wife Marie
Temple Ewell Baptist Church
Many young people in our church have gone on to work with a variety of Christian organisations, in this country and abroad.
Historically Salem has had young people going abroad as Missionaries to further the work of Christ as far back as our history reaches. Missionary work is very different now from the times when people set of for far flung continents, not knowing what awaited them, and often not knowing when or if they would return. The aims of mission are still the same, to take the message of Christ to those who do not yet know him, but nowadays in a more practical way. You could be helping to rebuild houses and infrastructure in areas such as those affected by natural disasters. You could teach English or a foreign language, or work in an orphanage or local school.
With so many organisations to choose from, all of them offering much support to their young people, there is something for everybody, from short term (typically from a couple of weeks to one year) or long term (two years or more). There are both paid and voluntary positions in a huge choice of skills.
