Greetings, Dear Ones!
HAPPY SABBATH!
Have your feet been hiding out in socks and under blankets like mine have been these last few days? Fall weather has arrived and it is surely making its presence felt!
Today I want to talk about doing mission work - the purpose of this blog - and missionaries ... for Jesus. Isn't that what we are called to be? (Go ye into all the world ...! Mark 16:15)
Many of us, myself included, wanted to be missionaries when we heard the mission stories from exotic and far-flung destinations; when we heard about the Lord's mighty hand moving amongst native tribes in these various destinations, and the many miracles experienced by those in the mission field. That was the life!
Then we grew up, life interrupted, and we forgot the dream until one day we, you, me, felt, saw, heard, or smelt something ... .
Our offering today is about the pull one feels when "I Want to be a Missionary!"
Enjoy, and don't forget to share!
Be well, and be gloriously blessed,
BJ
I
Want to be A Missionary
I want to be
a missionary
But … I
don't want to have to go abroad
Because …
I have neighbors and even family
Who don't
know – or believe – in God!
I want to be
a missionary
But … I
don't want to pack a bag
Or get a
shot, or even a passport
I know that
my parents will be glad!
My mission
field … will be in my township
My passport
… will be the Holy Word
My shot …
is the Spirit of the Lord, and
My bag …
is showing care, and fellowship!
Don't worry
… about traveling abroad, Friend
Charity …
begins at home!
Just grow …
where you have been planted
And God … you He will defend! **BJC**
