Being Mission Minded

[paul]

A few years ago when Nancy and I felt led to start attending the local church were we are, the pasotr talked to me about missions. He felt the Lord directing him more and more in that direction. He said that he desired missions to be the heartbeat of his church.

Together we have worked out a viable mission program for the local church. Together with our ministry we have been able to see a church come alive with the concept of reacing the world, and getting a world view of what the goal of the church is.

Every First Sunday is Missions Sunday. The service is centered around missions in some form. A special Missions offering is taken up apart from the tithes and general offerings. This offering averages $4,000 monthly. Our attendance rund right at 350 so this is a really good average.

Today it seemed to cultimate. On the stage was one of our ladies who just returned from South Africa, were she held womens seminars, another Lady who just returned from Ireland and Cosovo holding meetings and healing seminars, our two interns who have been in the Philippines for almost three months just arrived home yesterday and was there sharing.

What a joy to see in a few years the desire in our pastors heart to be a missions driven church, to seeing these missionaries returning home from the field of labor. We sometimes measure a church by the number in attendance. When it get to a certain number it is called a mega church. I totally disagree with that assessment. Today I saw a church of 350 as a Mega church, because it is having MEGA impact on the world for Jesus Christ.

In January we will start our internship program in Kenya and India along with the current program in the Philippines.

BTW if you are interested in an intern mission program pm me we are preparing the list over the next few months.

That is awesome Paul...absolutely awesome.

Missions is the very reason I believe God has blessed this nation.

And I think also a lack of missions is a reason one day He will curse this nation.

Thank you so much for keeping this nation strong and the word of God alive and going forward.
