This is Part I of an interview with Shannon (Kubiak) Primicerio, a leading voice in teen culture and a best-selling author.
Suzie and Shannon get real as they talk about missions, writing, purpose, and more. . .
Suzie: Shannon, welcome to Real Teen Faith. When I went to your website, I noticed right away that we had some things in common: a heart for missions and mentoring writers!
Let’s start with missions. You recently went on a trip to Peru. Tell us about that.
Shannon: Last summer I was invited to join Brio magazine on their annual missions trip. We took something like 500 teens with us to Peru for two weeks. We spent our days working in the poorest communities of Lima washing clothes, washing children?s hair and visiting schools where we handed out school supplies.

Two weeks ago I traveled by bus with a group of teens from Muskogee High School to Camp Bennet, a camp for physically disabled children, teens, and adults. Muskogee had a huge ice storm this winter and it shattered trees.
Camp Bennet is set in the midst of a small wooded area and broken limbs and twigs were everywhere. Campers would be in danger from all the debris. When I climbed on the bus, I knew I was going to have a fun time.

Most of the time when we hear the word “persecution” we think of people mocking our faith or making life uncomfortable because they don’t agree with your views.
That’s not persecution in the truest sense. These are up-to-the-minute stories about real teens around the world who are giving all to call themselves believers.

A veteran of more than 100 missions into North Korea to provide ministry to Christians and non-Christians alike says the first thing to do in any meeting there is to close and cover all the windows and send the children outside.
The description of the persecution under which North Korean Christians suffer comes from “Roli,” whose story was reported by The Voice of the Martyrs, a worldwide ministry that directs its aid to members of the persecuted Christian church. (more…)

Today’s Country: Afghanistan
From Operation World
The Taliban take-over of the country has imposed the strictest interpretation of Islam in the world today. The results have been devastating for the economy and for the lot of women in society. All Afghans must comply with the strict codes imposed on dress, beards, education and observance of shari’a law. What little religious freedom existed has been terminated.
Non-Muslim figures may be now much lower than these stated. No Christian churches are permitted. The number of Afghan Christians is estimated to be 1,000 to 3,000. Some Christian expatriate workers have been permitted to serve in relief and social uplift programmes. (more…)
