You'll meet Jesus there in a way you can't meet Him anywhere else. You need to need what you know - and following Jesus into the great adventure He's summoning you to will put you right in the middle of all His power! http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/life-saving-teamwork-3722 2009-09-21T10:34:02-05:00 God has made each of us who know Him both rescuers and the enablers of rescuers. There are some lost people God has positioned you to help go to Heaven. And He has given you resources to enable some of those He's called to put their whole life into His rescue mission. According to Philippians 4:17 , when you give to keep them on the front lines, their fruit will be "credited to your account" in Heaven. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%209:37-38&version=NIV 2009-09-14T16:53:26-05:00 The mission field is described in the Bible as a harvest waiting to happen: people are ready and waiting to be gathered into God's kingdom, and just need somebody to go out and invite them in. Here, God is referred to as the "Lord of the harvest." http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/too-many-fans-5891 2009-09-11T11:36:53-05:00 Jesus' Great Commission to get out His Gospel can't be delegated to a few spiritual daredevils we call missionaries. The Great Commission is always first person singular! Jesus intends for the cost and the risk of rescuing a dying world to be equally shared by all those who belong to Him! http://delveintojesus.com/Devotionals/38/Loving-the-Lost.aspx 2009-08-04T21:03:57-05:00 As Christians, we understand in our minds that we need to share the Gospel, but do we feel it in our hearts? This devotional looks at the role our emotions play in allowing us to truly understand God's love for the lost and our role in leading them to Christ. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matt.28.18-Matt.28.20&version=NIV 2009-07-21T15:58:34-05:00 This passage is Jesus' great command to his followers: to go out to the entire world and make new disciples in his name. Also known as the Great Commission, this is Jesus' call to us to evangelize and bring the Gospel to every corner of the world. http://chitorch.org/index.php/eras/post-reformation/carey/ 2009-06-22T13:43:45-05:00 Christian History Institute's study module on William Carey, pioneer Baptist missionary, often called the "Father of Modern Missions." http://chitorch.org/index.php/torchlighters/aylward-feature/ 2008-11-14T15:21:09-05:00 Synopsis if Gladys Aylward Torchlighter animated DVD http://losnavegantes.net/vostuRed.html 2008-10-23T06:51:15-05:00 A social networking site for the LosNavegantes.net community.
