Photo Essay Contest 2012
..
Missions is... [insert your picture here]
It's been said many a time in the history of the world, a picture is worth a thousand words.This is your chance to tell a story through pictures! The theme of this story: "missions is..." you fill in the rest!
Global Encounters is introducing another chance to win scholarship money for the GE trip of your choice - a PHOTO ESSAY Contest! We realize that it is often hard to meet the financial requirements of going to another country to serve. Here's the chance to lighten the load, tell other people about missions, and (if you love pictures or graphics) to have fun at the same time! 
You could go to Romania, the jungles of Mexico, or the friendly country of Ecuador! This is your chance to make an impact on the people of another country, and to let them make an impact on you.
