Missions Conference session 1

Her are some takeaways from Matthew Lawrence (IMB Missionary to the Middle East) last night:

1) it is our responsibility to sow the seed both locally and globally, and because we do not know the soils, we must share often and broadly 
2) the work of the gospel is "blue collar" shared organically as we live we share and show with persistence. 
3) like the mustard seed, the message has to bring change; though it seems small, it has unimaginable, incomprehensible potential
4) "investments in international missions has unbelievable returns"

Matthew needed with four well know challenges:
1) Pray with a knowledge of the nations 
2) Give sacrificially 
3) Go to the nations (no better way to get a vision for the nations)
4) Personally involved with a missionary (contact them and pray for them)

Looking forward to this evening as we gather again to celebrate God's global plan to reach the nations! Come celebrate with us this evening - supper @ 6pm for everyone and service @ 7pm.
