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.

regular updates on some of the missionaries from World Missions, go to
their website at www.lcmsworldmission.org
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 .
