Praise the Lord

Thanks for answering my post, but there is truth that many people can not do mission, but can help those who can offer a missionary. He is doing mission in the same way, we need people who love to do that. As it cheers the heart of God. There is something more than winning souls for the kingdom of God. My heart is on fire when it comes to mission. My theme is "Mission and blood that runs in my veins." Pray for me and my ministry.

I believe we all have a "mission." For some it may be in the neighborhood where they grew up. For others, the horizon looms.

Re: I love to do mission. I go and Do you go?
 
Amen, I also think like you. Some can be missionaries in their city, others called to go where God is not church. But we are all missionaries before the eyes of God. It is therefore our duty to preach the time and out of time. God expects us to this task. The angels aims to do this but God chose me and you for this task.

God bless.

I love missions work!!!! Just ask Sister Alvear. By the way, I'm coming to see them in Brazil in November, Lord willing. I'm going to be on a missions trip in Iguaza Falls, and then fly up to Maceio to visit with them. I'm very excited.

Also this year, I will be in Kenya, E. Africa and hopefully Davao City, Philippines, if all goes as planned.

Sherri, you all need to mix in a trip to Liberia. I'm sure Eddie would get a kick out of that.

Hello Dear Friends

Your meditation

God's Heart for Missions

The Great Commission

"All authority has been given to me in heaven and earth....and teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you, even to the end of the age." (Matthew 28:18-20)

The Great Commission is God's command to take the gospel to all the world. It's stated many times in the Bible, both Old and New Testaments, but one of the clearest statements is this one. Throughout the Bible we see it's God's greatest priority for history.

http://www.sbc-va.org/missions/images/globe.jpg

Two Beginnings and Two Endings

Let's consider two beginnings and two endings in the Bible. When you read a book, the way it starts is going to tell you the theme of the entire book. The way it ends shows you when the author was satisfied it was done. When people start a new project, the things we say then are the most crucial and important things we can say. And a person's last words are often their most central thoughts and concerns. So let's look at some of the beginnings and endings in the Bible.

The First Beginning: Abraham

Adam and Eve were driven from the garden of Eden, and the effect of sin was known early when one of their own sons murdered his brother. Things kept getting worse. God saw that the imaginations of man's heart were only evil all the time. God was ready to redeem those who would follow him even then, but the result was not good. God finally said he was ready to start over again. He picked out Noah and his family to be the seed of that new beginning, and wiped out the rest of the world with a flood.

After the flood, we see the world picking up again where it left off. It culminated in the Tower of Babel, a monument to the pride of man. God saw their pride and said, if these people remain united in this way, then there pride will be impregnable. I'll never get through to them. So he confused their languages and scattered them. This happens in Genesis Chapter 11. Right next to that there is a list of about 70 families, and many people believe these families become the first nations in the world.

So from the start God is restoring his rule over the peoples of the world, while the world is united against him in pride. He divides the world into nations. Now comes the incredible next step, in Genesis 12:1-3. God has broken the proud unity of the world, and then immediately he points at one man:

1 "Now the LORD had said to Abram:
“Get out of your country,
From your family
And from your father’s house,
To a land that I will show you.
2 "I will make you a great nation;
I will bless you
And make your name great;
And you shall be a blessing.
3 "I will bless those who bless you,
And I will curse him who curses you;
And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”

God is no longer dealing with the world as a whole. He's starting with one man who would found one nation, and he's going to bless this man and this nation. They're going to be his own people; they're going to have a special relationship with him. And then what does it say? It says that in Abraham all the nations of the world would be blessed.

http://www.sbc-va.org/missions/images/WorldMap_000.jpg

The Second Beginning: Jesus' Ministry

Missions to all the nations was in the heart of God from the very first mention of the word nations. Let's fast forward now to another beginning, to the first sermon Jesus gave, at least the first one reported by Luke. It's in Luke 4:24-30. He's in his hometown, and he opens the scroll and reads one of the great Messianic prophecies of the OT, from Isaiah 49. His fellow Nazarenes love it--even when he makes the audacious claim that this glorious prophecy is fulfilled in him! He's a real favorite son of theirs! They love having him as one of their own, and they know he's going to make quite a splash in the world!

Then he switches gears and reminds them that God had blessed other nations in the Old Testament. The widow in Elijah's time was not a Jew. Naaman was a Syrian, not a Jew. No Jew received God's favor in those particular ways. At this, a riot broke out.

Jesus started his ministry by pointing to God's heart for all the nations. This was no casual statement--he almost got himself thrown over a cliff for it! So again in this second beginning, the beginning of Jesus' ministry, we see God's heart for the nations, just as in the beginning of the history of nations.

The First Ending: Jesus' Last Words

Let's look at two endings now. Let's look at Jesus' last words. I could point to the same thing in five locations, but I'm going to concentrate on just two. One of them is the Great Commission passage I quoted before, in Matthew 28:18-20. Do you think the nations were on Jesus' heart? These are the last words in the gospel of Matthew. He could have left any number of final instructions, but this was it! And then just before he ascended into heaven, here are his last words, Acts 1:8:

"But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”



The Nations

[img] http://www.sbc-va.org/missions/image...radesh_000.jpg [/img]

Let's clarify exactly what Jesus is saying in Matthew 28:19. It shows up again in the last passage we're going to cover in a few moments, and many other places in the New Testament. Jesus commands his disciples to make disciples of all nations. He was not speaking of political nations as you might think, countries like America or Turkey or Russia or Jordan. The Greek word here is ethné, and we get our word "ethnic" from it. You might say that "ethnic group" is in some ways a better translation. He was talking about people groups, defined not by their capital city but by their race, their religious heritage, their language, their tribe, and so on. A country may have many people groups, like the many castes of India or many tribes in an African country. A people group may span more than one country, like middle class whites in North America, or Kurds in Iraq, Turkey, and other neighboring lands. There are about 200 politically defined nations in the world; there are thousands of "people groups" in the sense Jesus was using. Jesus was commanding us to reach every one of them.

The Second Ending: The End of It All

This brings us to the final ending in our story of the heart of God (and then we're going to spend some moments looking at how we're making progress on reaching all these peoples of the world). This final ending is the close of the ages. If you want to have a sense of how important missions is to God, look at Matthew 24:14:

"And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come."

This is what God is waiting for! Don't fail to notice the promise in there, by the way: the gospel of the Kingdom will be preached in all the nations! Not just preached, but effectively! Look at the result in Revelation 7:9-10.

"After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, saying, 'Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!'"

Think of the celebration! Think of the glory! Think of the delight in heaven! Think of the way God will glorify himself by bringing together Blacks, Whites, Africans, Asians, rich, poor, men, women, from all ages and from all nations!

It's at the beginning, it's at the ending. It's all through the middle, too. It is truly at the center of God's heart. It's at the center of Seaford Baptist Church's heart, too!

Greetings, we know that God is calling people to the mission, and here in Brazil we have done many good things in favor of souls who are perished. Our goal is every day achieve new soul is hungry and that the word of God. The will of God that all open the heart to do its work "Mission," Jesus Christ is coming back and we have to delivery to him? Be empty or only one hand fear some fruit of our work for him? Stop and think, what you are doing the work of God. Romans 10:14

Dear Friend

Is very satisfactory to be writing and speaking of what God is doing in the Brazilian people, God has been faithful to us here, many souls have come to us with famine of the Word of God, and we have every care and attention they need, because we know it is our duty to bring the message of salvation to them. We are living the promise that God gave the prophet Joel Chapter 2 Verse 28 and 29, but still we want more than that, we see the glory of God is manifest in our midst. Many come to church when they want to see miracles and healings being done by the hands of our Savior Jesus Christ, for there are things that happen to be done "fasting and prayer" that is the secret of our victory. God bless to all the prayers and support.

Dear Friend

Greetings, we are very happy with what God has done in Brazil, Sunday we had a great cult of worship to our God, where not needed because Jesus was preaching preacher blessed that night, several brothers were full of the presence of God, we are living a moment in which God is making his people with a great revival, God has been faithful to us here. Continue praying for us here. The secret of all this is prayer and fasting as well only be a people blessed by God.
