Missions is the opportunity to meet and serve people and
invite them to worship God with you.
Therefore, if anyone is in
Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed
away; behold new things have come. Now all these
things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself
through Christ and gave us the ministry of
reconciliation, namely, that God was in Christ
reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their
trespasses against them, and He has committed to us
the word of reconciliation.
Therefore we are ambassadors for Christ, as though
God were making an appeal through us; we beg you on
behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God! 2 Corinthians 5:17-20
Let the peoples praise You, O God;
Let all the peoples praise You.
Let the nations be glad and sing for joy Psalm 67:3-4a
God’s Spirit is speaking into the hearts of people all
over the world. God allows us to be a part of His work
by letting us be the tangible hands and mouth speaking
His Truth and giving an encouraging touch into others’
lives. Do you want to be a part of how He is touching
and changing lives? If God is tugging on your heart to
serve Him and tell of Him, talk to Him about it through
prayer. Ask Him for direction, and ask for Him to build
you up in His Word (through Bible Reading/Study).
There are people who need the joy of knowing the Lord
Jesus Christ here in Houston, in the U.S.A., and
throughout the earth. It takes a willing heart, lead by
God to be a part.
And Jesus came to them, saying,
“All authority in heaven and on earth has been given
to Me. Therefore, go and make disciples of all
nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father
and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to
obey all that I have commanded you; and I am with
you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:28-20
One important way to begin serving others is to begin by
serving them in your prayer life. As you pray for
others, God will guide you how to reach out to them and
speak timely words that they may need to hear. From
praying for the people in your community and work place
to picking a city or nation to pray for, the Lord Jesus
will guide and bless your heart through the process of
praying for others.
