Our church has a group of missionaries answering the call to help out in the Dominican Republic this week. They've been sending back pictures the past several days and it's just so wonderful to see the joy on everyone's faces; those serving and those being served. Yesterday they went shopping and delivered groceries to those in need. They'll be helping with construction and sewing projects throughout the week.
As Christians, we know our purpose in this life is to "...Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen. Matthew 28:19-20 NKJV. Whether you do this here at home, (at work, social events, while running errands), locally (community, city, state, country) or abroad doesn't matter. It's wherever God is calling you to serve. Just be sure to answer the call. If you're uncomfortable sharing one on one (as I often am), then pray about that. Pray for words and courage and wisdom. God will answer and will guide you if you let Him.
For even the Son of Man did not come to be served,
but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”
Mark 10:45 NKJV

Please join me this week in praying for our missionaries. Pray for their safety and pray that they may bring others to Christ.
I'll post daily reminders on:
