A story illustration(look in my writing) of the first meeting with the Missionaries which was foretold hundreds of years before the actual event. After this encounter our ancient world was gone and we had to deal with the new one. Any culture must be dynamic, adapt or die.

Missionary Baptist Church, / Cades Cove, Great Smoky Mountain National Park, USA – / interior shot with lovely bay window opening up to a view of the forest. This church was formed in 1839 by ex-members of the Primitive Baptist Church. The church split and 40 of its members left because they favored Missionary work, an issue that divided Baptists everywhere. At one time 114 members were enrolled here. This church, built in 1894 on Hyatt Hill, was moved to its present location in 1916.

The Jesuit priests, the Society of Jesus, have been in service to the parish of St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church in Grand Coteau, Louisiana, since 1835. Most of those who came in the early 1800s were Europeans, primarily French and Belgians, and they are buried in this old cemetery behind the church. Some of the tombs are 100 years old, and time and the massive roots of the surrounding live oaks have buckled the ground beneath them and tilted them at odd angles. Two of my favorite places to visit are the tomb of Henry Bonroy, a Belgian novice who was under 21 when he died in an accident when a steam powered boiler burst on the building site of the church where he was working. The other favorite visiting place is the tomb of Dutchman Cornelius Otten who was the chief architect and builder of St. Charles Borromeo. This was the first of several churches this industrious Jesuit built during the course of his lifetime.

The Jesuit priests and brothers came to Grand Coteau, Louisiana, in 1835, primarily from France and Belgium. They left homeland, family, and all that was familiar to them to put down roots in a small rural community in the heart of Acadian country in Louisiana where there were many French settlers. The Jesuits established the St. Charles College and Our Lady of the Oaks Retreat House which are still in operation today. In 1879, they built the present St. Charles Borromeo Church in Grand Coteau, the first of many churches that now dot the landscape in a wide area. The original pioneers are buried in this old graveyard at the back of the retreat house in a peaceful setting overshadowed by moss-draped oaks.

This photo was taken at the entrance to Sacred Heart Mission; this tree covered road is covered by Catalpa trees that were planted by the mission. At the end of the road is a clearing where at one time stood the Sacred Heart Mission. The mission was built in 1875, and was the center of Catholicism in the state. At one time there was a large two story monastery and school for boys, and also a school for girls, both Indian and white, there was a convent for the sisters, a stable, a blacksmith shop, tool shop, carpenter shop, and a bakery. The school included seminary and college-level studies, and was the first institution for higher level of learning in Oklahoma. In 1901, a fire broke out in the dining room of the boy’s school and swept out of control and all was lost except for the bakery and a two story log cabin. The sisters remained at Sacred Hearts and built a few temporary wooden buildings and converted a granary for study. The Benedictines went on from Sacred Heart to rebuild an education center elsewhere, which is known as St. Gregory’s College in Shawnee, Oklahoma. Sacred Heart Mission are is a beautiful and peaceful place, the Sacred Heart Church is about a half a mile or so from the where the old Mission once was, the church has about 60+ active members. The Sacred Heart Mission area is now considered to be an historic site, and they are in process of renovating the old Bakery, the old log cabin has been renovated.

Dear Fellow Bubblers.. We continue praying for your well being through this troubled time and we have taken a decision of not launching any challenges for the “Real Art Group” untill the Bushfire situation becomes better. We feel that we should take a small halt at this troubled time and pray for the hundreds who have lost their life in the mayhem down under… To our members in Australia, we would like to say that all of us stand by you and will continue to pray in silence for you and your loved ones, through this tough time. May God bless all!! Regards, Rahul and Joe / Group hosts Real Life Art / Mother’s Missionaries of Charity

The Missionary Baptist Church in Cades Cove was formed around 1839. It was founded by members from Cades Cove Baptist Church that were dismissed over an argument over missions. The present building was built in 1915. The members continued using this site for about ten years after the parks establishment. One of the highlights of the church was in 1893 when a well known evangelist, Rev. Thomas Sexton, led a revival. The congregation nearly doubled in size as a result. This was one of the biggest events ever in the Cove…The Church in located along the Cades Cove Loop Road, Great Smoky Mountains

Indigenous people occupied this site as early as the 14th century for the same reason the Spaniards came to prize it – nearby salt mines. These ruins are of one of the missions the Spanish built along the Salinas trade route, circa 1630 – 1680. The mission, named San Gregorio de Abo, was destroyed during the Pueblo Uprising / of 1680. The mountains in the background are part of the the Manzano Mountain range, near Abo, New Mexico. Pentax K110D, F11, ISO 200, 1/500, 90mm.

I spent time looking at photos I took when I traveled to Africa many years ago. I was fascinated by the children, the warriors, the adults that looked weary aging before their time and of course the spectacular wildlife. I posted three photos, Harmony in the Serengeti, Can I have a Bite, and a baby hippo and his mother. Conditions around the world have worsened over the decades resulting in the domestic and global crisis we see today. I remember the many beautiful faces of the children I was fortunate to meet. Those faces haunt me the more I / read and learn about the harsh and life threatening conditions that exist today. / / I hope you are familiar with Trevor Irwin, a member of redbubble / who is a missionary working with the extreme poor in rural and / isolated areas in Africa. Many of these children are forgotten and die each year from intestinal diseases because they have no clean water. / Trevor has a beautiful portfolio of these children and does not receive / a salary for his hard work. His reward is to see children survive, smile, / and have the opportunity to live a full and healthy life. His photographs / have been featured in several groups on redbubble including the group / I host “the healing journey.” If you are not aware of his heroic dedication to his mission, you can do a search (Trevor Irwin) on redbubble and/or e-mail him @Irwin141@msn.com. Over the years, I have donated to several charities / that work hard to improve the unbearable conditions / and heartbreaking stories that African children and / their families endure every day. / Many of the children have lost their parents to disease and / without help are unable to survive without clean water and / the means to grow food to sustain their lives. / Trevor and many organizations raise funds to empower these / people by providing them with tools and machinery. Looking / at the poignant photographs of these beautiful children / does not always reveal the unbearable and tragic hardships / they face everyday. I discovered an organization, “Drop in the Bucket” and imagined if / everyone would donate one drop or several buckets that would / make a difference. It is not how much you donate, but the power / in numbers that add up to save lives. My trip to Africa was many years ago / and I recently found albums of my photographs that moved / me to tears as I thought about the courage, spirit and pain / of a crisis that is often unseen in these isolated areas. / This is one picture in a series of several that / tell the story in a way words cannot describe. What if this / little boy did not have his mother to comfort him? Unfortunately / many children have lost their parents and siblings live together / trying to survive and take care of each other. Despite all the pain, / the commitment and devotion to family is the most important / value they possess. We can learn a lot from these people, especially / their devotion to their families when survival and disease is the brutal / reality they have to confront everyday. / It is very impressive how important family attachments are to / these children. Without the foundation of family, the hope and / spirit for survival could not exist. These strong values are what / is often missing in Western culture. In our world children / often face the fragmentation / of the nuclear unit, the lack of extended families / and the crisis of divorce. Ties to family values have been replaced by / a strong dependence on peer relationships. How deeply attached our / children are to the family unit depends on the stability of the parents. / Without extended families that care for children, there is a lot of / pressure on the nuclear unit. Most of the children I have seen / in my clinical practice over the years have experienced / at least one divorce reinforcing their mistrust of adults and lack of respect for their guidance as they view their parents unstable / and fragile relationships. Often the parents can not take care of / themselves or each other and are ill equipped to raise / children, the most difficult, challenging and rewarding job for / those who are prepared to raise healthy children. Many / children today are faced with the trauma of divorce and loss of / sibling attachment and extended families. They often / lack the important basic attachment to their families including / loyalty and respect for senior members. / It is common for children to see grandparents placed in nursing / homes or assisted living when families can still care for them in the / comfort of their home. Parents are deeply respected in many cultures. Necessary family love and support can extend their parent’s life. / Seniors who nurtured their children are often abandoned without / the regard and loving commitment they received as children. Many cultures revere their elders and would never think of abandoning / them when senior members need care as they age and lose the / independence they once had. Before Hillary Clinton / said “it takes a village” to raise children, it was the brilliant anthropologist Margaret Mead that studied primitive cultures and observed the results of children growing up with a loving / network of adults that provide the stability and security for / a healthy transition into adult life. Ideally, the devotion and / loyalty they felt as children will be passed on / to their children as important life sustaining and healthy values. After viewing the photographs I took many years ago, / I thought no matter how many “drops” we can give, they add up / and we can reduce the deaths of many children that / can survive and look forward to their future. For those who do not / have “drops of water” to give in terms of donations, / alerting others to the grim reality of rural and / isolated villages in Africa is also very important. Trevor has / repeatedly said, “We can make a difference.” / Drop in the Bucket is an all-volunteer organization that / was formed in the summer of 2006 by a group of entertainment industry professionals who decided it was time / to give something back and take the initiative to help contribute / to the health and well being of our fellow man. / “Our mantra is, “individuals can make a difference.” When we began, / none of us had ever traveled to Africa and we knew nothing about drill bits, well pumps or hydro-geological ground surveys. Armed with nothing more than laptop computers and the desire to make a difference, we started with Internet searches and soon / began forming an invaluable network of talented and / motivated people from around the globe. Our business plan involves getting as much money as possible into programs on the ground, as quickly possible. We are rigid with our bookkeeping and personally oversee how every penny is spent. We have no company overhead, minimal operating costs and no one takes a salary. We are so dedicated to donor financial scrutiny that we will provide anyone who asks with a copy of our financial records and if someone donates the funds to pay for a well, we will place the name of their choice on that well. In the first two years we installed over 25 water wells and a number of sanitation systems at schools in Uganda, Mozambique and Tanzania. With your generous support we can continue to expand our reach. By providing these children with clean, accessible water, we are helping them secure the opportunities that we all deserve for a bright, healthy and prosperous future.” / To learn more about this wonderful organization, please paste / this link into your browser or google drop in the bucket. http://www.dropinthebucket.org/Welcome.html / Please view this in the larger format.

CHURCH The translation of the Vg ecclesia, meaning originally an assembly or, more specifically, a religious assembly, but extended to the building in which the faithful assembled for worship. In the abstract sense (the Church) it means the community of all those redeemed by the sacrifice of *Christ on the *Cross. Research from Dictionary of Christian Lore and Legend. / Millers Cove Missionary Baptist Church Walland, TN – One of the oldest in the Baptist assembly, rebuilt.

I live near the historic Mission San Juan Capistrano, where every year in March, the Swallows come back to Capistrano. Many of them can be seen at this mission. This man was dressed to represent the Spanish Catholics of the Franciscan Order that lived here in the 18th and 19th century. An absolutely beautiful mission with an amazing history.
