“SENDING MISSIONARIES”
One of the nearest and dearest things to my heart is the men and women on the frontline of Gospel across the globe. God placed in my heart many years ago the importance of missionaries going across the globe to share the good news that Jesus saves!
The Lord has never stopped calling evangelists to missionize the nations. He still calls men and women to the field every day. So long as we are in this earth and the Lord is still building His Kingdom, He will be calling men and women to the nations to evangelize the Gospel to a lost and dying world.
Not everyone is called to the nations to evangelize; not everyone is equipped to go. Not everyone can go to the remote villages in the middle of nowhere, nor move to high populated cities across the globe to share the good news. We are not all called to be the very ones that are on the front lines, but that does not mean that we do nothing!
There are hundreds, if not thousands of missionaries that have a heart, passion, ability, and call on their life to go to the nations and share the Gospel, and the one thing hindering them is the financial means. Some have a heart to go but no church or mission group to send them. The calling is from above, but God uses men and women to fulfil his Great Commission. It takes people and it takes money.
Are you taking active part in getting the Gospel to the nations? When you have an opportunity to give to missions in your local church, are you? When you have an opportunity to support the spreading of the gospel to the nations, do you take that serious. My home church that I pastor send thousands of dollars to the mission field each year. One way that we support missionaries is the Lottie Moon Christians Offering for our International Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention. Our mission board trains, sends, and compensates our missionaries through the free-will offerings of our churches. What a blessing!
If you do not take part in sending missionaries to the nations, would you consider doing so. The Gospel is the universal call to all but all that are saved must hear the Gospel!
Romans 10:14, 15—” 14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? 15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!”
