International Blogger Robyn Shelbourne shares on Good Deeds

My Own Samaria is a blog based on Acts 1:8.  “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on

you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all of Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the 

earth.”  I may not be able to travel the world, into the ends of the earth to tell people about God, but I 

can declare “My Own Samaria”.  

What is My Own Samaria?  It’s a blog, and it’s real.  It’s a funny and relatable way to get more God in 

your world while reading about our crazy life at the same time.  So, where does My Own Samaria begin?  

It all starts with family.  Ours is mission minded, and we do what God calls us to do.  It is important that 

we lay a good foundation in our kid’s life, instilling a heart for serving others.  Our first missional activity 

for the blog is called “Godvelopes”.  It is another important and growing section in the blog.  Everyone has a 

story, and it’s the most important thing we possess as Christians.  If you have a testimony you’d like to 

share, please submit it!  Teen Corner is where I interview teens to get perspective on their lives in 

today’s world.  It’s completely anonymous in order to keep their identities safe as sensitive material is 

included.  Bullying, depression, and suicide are so prevalent in today’s society, and I would like to do my 

part to squash it.   My husband and I are leaders of a Mission Team, and my husband plays drums for our praise
