need some input
 

We are coming to the states to do some more deputation...if missionaries visit your church what do you expect of them? Do you enjoy missionary stories, sermons, do you like displays, and do you like PowerPoint presentations? Just what do you enjoy for the missionary service and what are your likes or dislikes about a missionary service...

Please help me....thanks....

I like everything about missionary services-can you do a little of everything?? :)

I like missionary stories, and I love to hear missionaries preach... especially if they come and preach but their heart for their people shines through and shows their love for the people in their country. Some songs or testimony in the language of the area and some real info about the area (not statistics, like population and such, but really this is what these people are like, these are their needs, their hopes, etc). Displays work well in some churches, but the bigger the church the more difficult it is to really look at a small display to my satisfaction, so powerpoint is probably better in that way. But powerpoints are hard for the deaf to understand and if the church doesn't have the right equipment already set up can be difficult for the missionaries and the staff. I don't know how often you would know if the church would accomodate the power points, but if you did and could fit that in, I really enjoy them.

I just like missionaries to be real. I would enjoy any of your services, I think. :heart

BTW, Sis Alvear, since Timmy has made his request, I assume he will be coming to one of your services...
Timmy, let me know which you'll be attending...
Sis Alvear, I like missionary services with really long altar calls. I'd like to come to the same one Timmy does; can you accomodate both his and my requests for that service, please?

:heeheehee

(j/k, Sis Alvear. Not to sound like a preschooler, but "He deserved it!!!" :winkgrin)

It'll be at my own "church". I'm the pastor and the congregation. :heeheehee

Re: need some input
 

So (not to hijack this thread) but do you have any problems at your church, Timmy, or is it the perfect church? :winkgrin

Really Sis Alvear, if your newsletters and comments here are any indication, I would enjoy any kind of missionary service you all had. :heart

I enjoy every aspect of a FM coming to service.
I like to see pictures of the people & the work.
I am usually balling my eyes out & would give a million bucks if I had it!
