Three intro paragraphs

     For this assignment I had to write three intro paragraphs for my research paper or leads as some people call them. Your intro paragraph is the bases for your paper it is where you explain what you plan on exploring in your paper. Here are the three intro paragraphs that I wrote.

 

 

 

    If you are a Christian and you go to church every Sunday you hear a lot of debate on the topic of foreign missions. One of the main arguments is that foreign missions is a waste of time and that we should stop sending missionaries to the mission field. In this paper I will explore to see if foreign missions in Africa is and has been a waste of time. I chose Africa out of all the countries because I have gone on a missions trip to Africa and I want to see if all the missionaries that I met are wasting their time. But based on my research I have found that foreign missions in Africa is not a waste of time, and that missionaries have done a lot to advance the economic state of Africa.

      As light shines through the window of a single story four-room house in Ghana, Africa, it is a signle for the missionary living that it is time to go to work. As the missionary rolls over in his bed his legs not letting him get up, he is just getting over a bought with malaria. He is suppose too speak to the villagers today in the town square about Jesus, though sometimes he wonders if it does any good. As the missionary attempts to sit up he thinks about all he and his family has gone through the last three years and without many converts to show for. He thinks of all the missionaries that have gone before him and wonders if it is all in vain? Based on my research I have come to the conclusion that foreign missions in Africa is not a waste of time, and that missionaries have done a lot to help advance the economic state of Africa.

 As the sun beats its merciless rays down on a hot April day in Ghana, Africa a lone missionary trudges on to take the Gospel to another village. As he becomes too hot and tired to walk anymore he stops and finds refuge in an over-hanging mangoe tree. As he rests his tires feet he starts to think about how no one responded to his preaching in the village he just came from. As he swats a misquote away he wonders if all that he has done and all that missionaries have done before him if it has all been in vain? He asks himself this question “Is foreign missions in Africa a waste of time”. Based on my research, I have found that present day foreign missions in Africa is not a waste of time, and that missionaries have made a big impact on the economic advance of Africa.
