On Mission

The church and the mission of God. There are many different areas that the church needs to be on mission. How does the church balance doing both local and foreign missions? I've heard both sides "we need to work with in our own community," and "we need to take the Gospel to the ends of the earth." Both are true and both should be done. The church has a duty to spreading the Gospel to "Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and the ends of the earth." We need to always be on mission no matter where we are at. When we are out to eat at Cracker Barrel or on vacation in Gatlinburg, or where ever you may be. Sharing the Gospel is a call that all Christians have.

I feel the church I am currently a member of is spreading the Gospel to the people they are around and those they come in contact with. But the area I feel a passion for and a need to work on is our foreign mission. We have discussed doing a mission trip, but we continue to talk. A good friend of mine once said "if you have a dream put some legs on it and get going." I have a dream and desire for others to catch that dream to share the Gospel to people around the world. My great desire is to have people of all ages and backgrounds to go or help others to go. There are several steps to take to start the process.

1.Be in prayer for where the Lord can use us.
2.Asses our gifts and talents to see how we can be used.

These two steps help to begin the process and from there the planning will begin.

Be on mission with God.
