mPower Approach – October 2015 – 2016 Mission Trip Schedule

To be an ambassador for Christ, to join His cause by way of the Great Commission, is what He asks of each of us. No believer should ever feel that he or she is exempt. Jesus will not excuse those who refuse to play even a small part. A widow’s mite is just as valuable as a missionary on site. -Anonymous 

Let’s consider the options…

 

Going
Excuses:

You are glad there are people who go, but you’ve never felt “called”. You don’t have a particular skill set or a talent that would qualify you. You can’t pull teeth or build a house and you don’t want to teach Vacation Bible School.

 

Reality:

We are commanded to “go and make disciples of all nations.” (Matthew 28:19)

Excuses:
You don’t even know any missionaries to support. Besides, doesn’t your church take care of that?

 

Reality:

We are to use our gifts to serve one another (1 Peter 4:10).

(2 Corinthians 9:6-7)

Exemption
Sorry not an option. In the body of believers, every one of us has a part to play.

 

As an Ambassador, we are to represent and promote Christ wherever we are. For some of us that could be on the foreign mission field short-term or long-term. For others, it will take place in our neighborhoods and offices. Perhaps your role is to be a sender, your financial support is greatly needed.

 

The Great Commission bids us go and make disciples. Whatever your role is (and you do have one!) do it in His name and for His glory.
