Bad Day
We think we have it bad? Think again! Remember Joseph. Were we or are we hated by our brothers, put in a pit, sold into slavery, and put in prison? Now why in the world would his brothers hate him for just telling the truth. After all it was what God had told him. Couldn’t [...]

Service for God
Missions is not just going around the world, but right here at home, where you are everyday. Therefore we must have a purpose for our lives. We have two choices satan or God. First satan equals darkness, evil, and keeps us so busy we do not have time to serve God. Authority and glory equals [...]

Reach Beyond Your World

Add comments

Jun 162010

Thank God that you are where you are at today. He makes no mistakes. Why am I here and how can I reach beyond my world right here?
There have been times I have wondered why am I here and not on the mission field elsewhere. But my God is so big that He knows just what He is doing all the time.
The question I ask Him is what do you want me to do and how can I reach beyond my world?

1-Pray for the missionaries
I can pray in general for the missionaries. The ones I know personally, I can pray for specific needs they have.

2-Write, e-mail, facebook
There are so many ways to contact missionaries today. Years ago it took a long time for a letter to reach them. By the time they got it and answered, you had forgotten the content of your letter.

3-Phone, cell phones
Today with modern communication we can talk around the world.

4-Financial
You become really blessed when you give above and beyond to missionaries. You can give through your local church and you should. You also can give on your own beyond your church giving.

5-Car, house, material needs
When missionaries are home on furlough or on deputation and have needs,
do we have an extra car, home, or even a room? Like the woman did for Elisha in II Kings 4:9-10. There are a number of other material needs that would help out the missionaries.
As a rule we have way more than we need and could share.

The list could go on and on. But the question is have you reached beyond your world in missions?
