For me a great opportunity

Postby paul » May 11th, 2009, 6:57 am

Yesterday I recieve an invitation to speak at a global mission conference in August. National Missionary directors from around the world will travel to Tulsa,Ok.

For me this is a great honor to speak among my peers. The main speaker is a man whom I have much respect, his missionary and evangelistic accomplishments over the years is incrediable.

In my travels I have come across many older men of God who have made great sacrifices to share the gospel in Hostile lands. Many have told me that as a young man or teen they came to a T.L. Osborn open air meetings in the early 50's and heard of Jesus for the first time and dedicated their lives to Christ and the ministry.

Rev. T.L. Osborn, the main speaker is considered the first missionary evangelist to go to open fields or parks, in non-Christian nations to proclaim Christ and pray for miracles as proof that He is alive. It has been recorded that His national Missionary Assistance Program has sponsored more than 30,000 national men and women as full time missionaries to nearly 140,000 unevangelized tribes,and village areas

BTW/ I accepted the invitation :lol:

You cannot effectively love and minister to others when you are obsessed with protecting
and preserving yourself.

That is wonderful, I'm glad you're being honored! "Give honor to whom

honor is due..."
..I press on to take hold of that
for which Christ took hold of me.

I hope and believe that Paul will give God and Christ credit for all of it. Are we "bought with a price" and "call of God".

How blessed we are that work for God and please Him.

Mt 25:29A
For unto every one that hath shall be given, and
he shall have abundance:...


I guess what I'm trying to say is that those that work for the Lord faithfully will recieve more and greater things of the Lord.

Have a great time there.
God Bless

For sure oldtimer....All honor and Glory belongs to Christ. He and He alone is worthy of praise.
For me this is an opportunity to share the passion of my heart. Missionary Evangelism. And with someone I admire greatly.

To me it would be like PG being asked to speak at the General Assembly right before the Genaral Overseers address. We would all be happy for him.

Paul, I'm proud for you and of you. I know you'll let us know how everything goes.
