Mission Minded?

Last Sunday, we had a 23rd Anniversary celebration at church. Don spoke. He talked about the fact that God's purpose will be done, He will use us; but it may not be in our timing or our planned ways!

He spoke about a time when he was a youth and their church talked about a woman who had been killed on the mission field. Who would take her place? He determined he would and so would some of the youth that sat with him-and they did! He spoke of a wedge, with one point and then it widens the path for more....

One death= more missionaries=Gospel going to outermost parts of the world!

Reading Tim's blog- (Go Reconcile) he brings up a NY Times article on slavery. He asks,

"This is one cause from the New York Times that we could take up. Church, how can we rest and enjoy all of our material blessings while this sort of slavery goes on and actually increases daily. After seeing this interview and reading this article, how can we today sit in the comfort, warmth and luxury of our church buildings? Excuse me, I am a little upset this morning. Years ago a young Christian women went to India and literally stopped the babies being sacrificed, Amy Carmichael. Are there any Amy’s out there? "


Now, are there? Let's be praying for more Amys, Dons, Beas, Jesses, Bobbies, Judys, Dans, Sams, etc... It might be me, or you or our daughters and sons! Not our will but God's will be done!

Sanctitiy of Human Life Sunday is coming up...this is something we Christians need to be serious about! More later...
