The words of Christ in John 4 are, “Lift up your eyes and look on the fields for they are white unto harvest.” The theme for this year’s missions conference is, “Challenging Satan’s Strongholds”. We must have a vision for the world. Think of the possibilities afforded this generation with our ability to travel, communicate, and be knowledgeable about our world. Couple these advances with the resources now available and our opportunities are staggering. We are in for a treat this month with visiting missionary candidates and guests. The activities will give all present an international burden.
Our church is so blessed! Never take for granted or call ordinary the extraordinary opportunities we enjoy here on a continual basis. Prepare your hearts for missions conference by praying for each guest missionary family. Ask our Lord what part He would have you play in Faith Promise giving. If you are not presently giving weekly offerings to Faith Promise Missions, I pray you will start today. If it is your custom to give, please pray about increasing your weekly amount.
The time is short and the hour late. It is imperative that these precious people who give their lives to reach the world for Christ should have the resources to help them get the job done. If God has not called you to go past your Jerusalem, then give sacrificially so that others who are called may go. These are great days of opportunity. The Lord has raised up this church and its membership to be directly involved in the harvest.
