Are you "Mission Minded"?
At the beginning of each new day,
ask God how you can serve Him. Mission mindedness is God-centered
thought in all we do and say to those we meet each and every day of
our lives. How do you serve Him with your life? In Exodus 25: 2b,
what does a believer’s heart prompt him to do? Are you more
concerned about your own comforts and schedules than you are with
those who are in the mission field around you? According to Micah
6: 8, what does God require of His obedient children?
How can your future plans help
spread the Gospel?
Are you planning your bequests for
after you have left this world? Consider writing into your will
money for the work of the church, in particular, the LWML’s mission
grant goal. If we are going to be generous supporters of missions,
we should consider doing it even in our death. The resources we
leave behind can continue to do the work God intends for them to
do. In 1 Peter 1: 4, what is the true inheritance that we all could
help others receive?
Does your church support a
missionary?
In Luke 10: 1-7 we read how Jesus
sent out the 72 to prepare the people to receive the Gospel. We,
too, have sent out the “72”, placing them in areas where they do not
always have the support of believers to provide the daily needs to
sustain life. We must help them in order for them to do the work
set out before them. Consider having your congregation adopt a
missionary family. In this way, the people of your church can help
meet their needs and develop a more intimate connection with them.
Involve your Sunday School. Hold a congregational mission fair to
share the culture, cuisine, and customs of your missionary’s
country.
