From Our Pastor…

“There is only one Lord, one faith, one baptism, and there is only one God and Father, who is over us all and in us all and living through us all.” Ephesians 4:5

“Father to the fatherless, defender of widows– this is God, whose dwelling is holy. Ps. 68:5

There are many facets to our Heavenly Father. My prayer is that you will know the one God and Father more deeply. I also pray that the children we “father” will come to know Him more deeply as the One who lives through them.

Kenny

Assignment: Missions

 

Are you thinking that being a missionary will require you to leave your family, friends and country and do something heroic?  Not necessarily!

 

A study from US Census Bureau, USDA and Feeding America using data from America reveals some shocking information that may inspire you to be involved in missions right here at home:

37.3 million people were in poverty (12.5%)

13.3 million children under the age of 18 were in poverty (18%)

 3.6 million seniors 65 and older were in poverty (9.7%)

36.2 million Americans (23.8 million adults and 12.4 million children) lived in food insecure households

 3.9 million of all U.S. households (3.4%) accessed emergency food from a food pantry one or more times.

 

What shall we do?

Pray for a heart for people and guidance to find your place of service.

Become aware of the needs of the people around you, decide how you can help them and then do it.

Check out WMU’s “Assignment: Missions” in each Sunday Bulletin for up-to-date mission information. Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 1:8

 

The Acts 1:8 Model for Missions includes people from the “ends of the earth” (HCSB). How do you know who these people are so that you can pray specifically for them by name? There are resources available to you. One easy place to find information to assist you to become aware of the needs of people of the world and of answered prayer is the Missions Table in the hallway outside the FBC library.

 

Among the materials there are:

• The Commission Magazine, a quarterly tabloid published by the IMB to communicate the work God is doing around the world. The photos and text presentations are intended to educate and inspire by sharing how God is moving today among every nation, tribe, people and language.

• Loving the Lost, a 30-day prayer guide to assist you to become a participant in the incredible things God is doing around the world. Editions 1-8 are available.

• Pray for Missionaries bookmarks. This bookmark is an easy way to information to guide your prayers to the specific tasks and issues the missionaries face.
