Does you Mite box get hungry – a lot?

The Mission Outreach Committee is always on the lookout for new and exciting ways to remind us to feed our mite containers. Yes, we do sometimes need to have catchy ways to interest others in giving to mites. One of the best ways I have found of filling Mite boxes is DISCIPLINE. This discipline is seen through generations of families who have followed the example (Luke 11: 7) of the older generations prayerfully placing coins into a box for use in God’s church.

According to Hebrews 5: 10-12, how are we to be in our discipline? It is this kind of discipline that helped meet the national mite goal – one that seemed impossible to meet. We have witnessed that, with God’s help, as we focus on His will, anything can be accomplished. Using the traveling Mite Can is a very handy way of feeding my mites more regularly.

How is your “Neighbor” connectedness?

For those who have to stay closer to home, our service to the Lord in evangelism is right under our noses. Think back on a time where you had an opportunity to share something from your spiritual journey with another, but failed to act. Read the parable of the Good Samaritan in Luke 25: 30-37. What might you be able to do when your next opportunity presents itself? Are you always so busy that you do not have time to show needed love and concern for your fellow man? Do you fail to act out of fear? What does Matthew 10: 28 warn against?

This same Jesus who forgives us for times when we have failed to help our neighbor is the Savior of all people. By taking action you may some day be God’s voice to tell the good news of salvation that will make an eternal difference in someone’s life.

For Information About Our Mission Grants and those at the National Level:

Look at Mission Grants on this site for Michigan mission grants and link to the national level Mission Grants or that level’s grants. The Mission Outreach Vice President, Linda Bruski, keeps Michigan District’s grants updated as to our funding progress.

Many societies are still using the baby booties/socks to put a dime into on a regular schedule to try to get them filled by a given time. We will try to get that particular activity written up for you as it was quite well received and brought in a lot in mite money.

Our goal is to supply you with as many ideas as possible so that our mite giving will meet our goals to pay the mission grants voted in at our convention and that of the national ones too. We need to be more committed to our efforts at giving what we can out of what God blesses us with on a daily basis .
