Youth Mission Chorale Witness: Thomas Bryson Smith


[During June and July, 1998, the General Board of Global Ministries led a group of 21 students from United Methodist-related colleges and universities in singing global choral music in the Baltic States and Russia. The participants wrote statements commenting on their experiences. Following is one such statement.]

Photo of youth choir. We were in a church that was run down and did not have much of anything in it. We sang to them and they sang to us. It meant so much to me. I saw people who had very little materially but so much spiritually. . . . It made me realize how much I take for granted and what I should do during my life.
