week of prayer for missions



That is a quote from a family serving in Nepal.  They are actively sharing Jesus in creative ways as all of us are called to do wherever we are.

This week is set aside by our mission board as a week of prayer for international missions.  As a pastor and a Christian it excites me to hear stories of what God is doing around the world.  God continues to change lives.

I have met some people who serve or have served in various places around the world in the name of Christ.  I have had the opportunity to travel to a few countries and see the work that missionaries and mission projects are getting done.  And each of us can be part of this week.  We can be part of the work even without leaving where we are right now.

We can give.  Your church has mission projects and missionaries.  Choose to give.  Our churches annual mission offering is taking place right now.  Our church is currently taking up our annual mission offering that we would love to invite you to take part in.  You can go to the following link and choose missions https://tcf.ccbchurch.com/goto/giving

For more info and to pray specifically for the missionaries and mission projects go to https://www.imb.org/lottie-moon-christmas-offering-week-prayer/

You and I have been given the opportunity to share Christ where we are and to help Christ be shared in places all around the world.  Will we take part in what really matters?

Acts 13:47  NIV
For this is what the Lord has commanded us: “ ‘I have made you a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.’

Be light.  Do that by being on mission, giving to missions and through prayer.

Pray.  One of the biggest and most likely the best way to be involved in missions is to pray.  Pray for the people you know and the ones you don’t.  Pray for places and people around the world.  People in every place, every corner and in every country need the same Jesus we have found!

1 Chronicles 16:24  NIV
Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all peoples.

If you are part of The Community Fellowship, I challenge you to give your best gift possible to our annual mission offering.  We will take this offering through the end of December.  Send your gift to The Community (PO Box 388, Collinsville, VA 24078), bring your gift to church on Sunday or any day we are open, or give online at https://tcf.ccbchurch.com/goto/giving.  Thank you for doing what God called all of us to do.  Be on mission sharing Jesus with the world!
