Christianity is not only important to new recipients of the Gospel
message, but it is more important to those who already comprise the church
than they may really know. Jesus wasn’t kidding around when He left his disciples
(of whom we profess to be) the one job
to do of taking the Gospel to the entire world (Mark 16:15-16).
Those who are not personally going abroad ought to be
more than happy to send those who are willing to go into a hostile world with
the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It’s high time that the Lord’s church concern
itself a little less with creature comforts and get back to the lone assignment
Jesus left for us to do.
Of course, not everyone can take the Gospel across the
globe personally. However, Bonnie and I leave for Bangalore
and New Delhi, India
as well as Yangon, Myanmar
(Burma)
on October 14; we will return to the States November 15. Just a matter of
several days before our departure and we are $4,000 short of collecting the
funds necessary to cover the expenses we have incurred for this mission trip. We
respectfully and humbly request member’s of the Lord’s church who may be
reading this to approach their respective congregations and ask them to please send
a financial gift to help us. Checks may be made out to Vermilion Church of Christ and sent to 5116 Driftwood Dr.,
Vermilion, OH 44089. We covet your prayers. |
