Missions

Is anyone's church sponsoring missions?

My church is sending a missions trip to Haiti. My church is also sponsoring missionaries in France, Malaysia, Germany and several other places.

Our church sponsors a missionary in Italy, one in the Dominican Republic, one in Romania, and one in Lebanon. I think there was another one, but I don't remember…

Is anyone interested in becoming a missionary?

Our church sponsors a missionary in Kenya.

People from my church go to Mexico on missions trips very often. My pastor is in France right now for the first time. I hope to go on a missions trip soon. :)

I think my pastor and the other members of the church just go there. We live in texas so it is not to far to go to Mexico. We usually go to Durango. There have been missions trips to Venezuela, Guatemala, Columbia, mainly the countries in central america. This is the first time our pastor has been to France, and he went with people from CFNI. CFNI is the bible college I live right next too. Oh and don't worry about the spelling; I know i can be way off sometime, too! :D

I am 14. Our youth group is trying to go to Mexico to visit an orphanage we are sponsoring. I don't know when we are going. Probably some time in January or so. Oh, yeah. And if you really messed up with spelling, just click edit adn you can edit your post. :o

Hey Ashley! I have not been on in awhile, because I was out of town. Looks like Astroleah beat me to answering your questions, but I really had no idea anyways. :D

Well, my pastor came back the other day. He has some really funny stories about France, and how much breakthrough there has been over there. I think he said that France is largely muslim, and that you can only witness there one week the whole year.

This summer, I went on a medical mission trip to Mexico with my brother through a christian organization (http://www.ima-missions.org/) that we found out about through some friends. It was amazing and very interesting.

You could! and actually you don't have to be a doctor to help. The organization that I went with will take anyone. Additionally, you could be a NURSE and a missionary, too.

Yea!!! What a wonderful oppertunity that will be! I will be praying for you.

Congratulations! I pray that the Lord would save many souls there during your trip–or at least plant the seeds for many souls to be saved later. :)

I will be praying. May the Lord open the eyes of people, in order to bring them to His marvellous word! Praying that His hand of protection will be over you! God Bless!

And just as a reminder–don't water down the gospel! So many missions trips today are void of the gospel and accomplish nothing except providing for the temporary needs of unbelievers. The whole point of missions trips is to spread the gospel–so do so, and don't leave out the essential parts of the good news! God bless! :)

That's really cool! Our church sends missionaries to Haiti, someday I want to go.

Oh gosh no. Have u?

R u nervous at all? Do u have to study a lot of Hindu stuff?

That's awesome! Have u ever heard of William Carrey? He was one of the very first (if not the first) missionary to India. I think u would like the book 'Wiliam Carey : Obliged to Go' a lot.

No I haven't. That's so funny ur reading that book right now! I had to read it for school but I liked it a lot!!

I currently have $885.00 out of $3,100.00 so far! Thank you for your prayers!!!

I am reading a different book about William Carey…it is really interesting.

@Leah: I will be praying for you. I am so excited for you :D

I have never been on a missions trip but I would really like to.

No…well, I haven't really thought about what places I would like to go.

The whole world needs Jesus right? :)

Yes!

Do you do the Bible Bee?

Our Bible Bee friends the Willis family is heading to Hati

I know your mom writes the sword studies and you all are very involved in it…I just didn't know if you we're able to compete because of that :)

gasp! ur mom writes the sword studies?! She does an excellent job!!

@Rachel: Well, if you look at the contestant rulebook you will know that I am allowed to compete but I cannot win or replace anyone…
It is explained better in the rulebook, you should probably just read the section there.

@Danielle: Thank you, I am very proud of my parents! I'll make sure to tell her that! :)

Plz do! She is amazing! :)

Ashley, Your mom has been a huge encouragement to me through the sword studies and in person. Her heart of love for people is amazing. I wish I had half of her enthusiasm:)

Lol. :) checks profile gasp! u live on Ohio?! What local biblebee r u going to??

Ashley - please tell her THANK YOU for,writing the sword studies!!! They and the Bible have been such a blessing in my life! I competed in 2011 and 2012, but right now am working through the Colossians study! :)

Oops, I forgot to mention, also,the Bible Bee has been such a blessing in my life as well!

@ Rachel: I will!!!

@ Danielle: You make it to Nationals and I will personaly stop by and say hi to your family! ;)

Lol I'll be waiting! :) JK

Here's something I learned at Seneca Hills during the Missions meetings.

1 in 3 people groups have not heard the Gospel. 8000 out of 24,000 people groups have not heard the Gospel. 80% of them are Muslim. 30,000 Muslims die every day without knowing Christ. There are 3 Christian missionaries for every 1 million Muslims. Where are these missionaries? 90% of them are in Christian nations, or nations where most people have already heard at least a little bit of the Gospel. There are 7000 languages in the world. Only 450 have the entire Bible. 4,500 have none of it, and the rest don't have a complete Bible translation.

It's kinda scary when you think about it.
